The comments on Zero Hedge seem to indicate that the rioters are leftists.
I live in Germany and can speak to the ‘neighborhood’. This is an area of Berlin which has attracted street artists, anti-capitalists, modern hippy-goth types, etc. They don’t pay rent (hence the squatting episode)....they don’t worry about heat or electricity....and some cash to cover booze, food, etc....off street art, musical donations on the street for their tunes, and work on the ‘black’.
Health care isn’t a worry....at growing trend in Germany where probably half-a-million Germans live in some type of lifestyle like this....without health insurance.
The Berlin state election is coming up in five months, and the right-center party (CDU) has control of the cops....so they’ve tried to enforce the law and demonstrate law enforcement as a major issue in the state.
Aren't they ALWAYS?
