Default Sitting in the middle of it

Next weekend, Neonazis will do a demonstration right in the place where I live. They will do so with official permission by the mayor and the police. Police has announced that they will start blocking the area from early morning on.

Now do not get me wrong, the district I live in is quite burgoise, anything but crowded with foreigners or Nazis alike, and many British families still living down my street, and in the vicinity, from 1st Batallion Yorkshire Regiment. simply nobody knows why the brown pest has decided to march here. Here is nothing of interst for them. It is far away from any media centres, communiction hotspots, monuments, history institutes, whatever. I assume the city told them to march here right in the middle of nowhere - or to f#ck the hell off. So they will do a pathetic little march of dwarfs, a pitiful 2 kilometers, one oval 360° right around the street I live in. Not in my street, but in the street next to mine in the north, the West, the South, and the East. And us sitting right in the middle of that oval, with plenty of police all around.

It's not that I am worried. Probably nothing much will happen. I have experienced much worse violence while being right on scene in my life, from police battles in Westberlin in the 80s over the Libyan terror bomb in Berlin in 86 to a Turkish artillery strike against the Kurds in the mid-90s. The one question that drives me around is simply this - what should I do?

I am not the typical demonstration guy. If it is worth it, you can have me for a real fight. But standing in the street, yelling and holding fists or posters into the air - that is something that makes me feel like an idiot. Childish in a way. So joining a counter demonstration is not my taste. Chances for civil disobedience or cheating the state are no option here either. Nor will I join a civil rights movement like I once did against a mosque over here.

I read that the few stores and services affected due to the marching route leading past their entrance doors, will not open on that day. All but one - a small supermarket, a discounter. I use to not go there, the vegetable often is old and their arrangement of goods is not the stuff I buy. They said that they will open, despite the fact that many of their staff are foreigners, and most of them women. On that day, they said, they will open nevertheless, but only male staff will be there, plus security.

I think next week I will do an exception from my rule, and go there, and if it is only a bottle of milk that I'll buy. To get there, I will need to cross right through the marching lane, and I will make sure my timing is right. Because what else is there to do? What else - except of maybe living your life as usual and not allowing this brown smelly stuff to effect it in any way, and by not allowing them to effect me, by showing them how meaningful they are for people's everydaylife - not any meaningful at all? Are they even worth to be taken note of? Being reported about in the press?

I dispise Neonazism as much as I dispise Scientology, Islam, Stalinism and the like. If i am lucky, one thug of theirs will try me and start a fight over the milk I just bought. Good opportunity to make him feel sorry when defending my milk.

Because that is the only message I have for Neonazis: even just a bottle of milk is more worth than any of you.

Nazis. Brown, smelly, slimey stuff. Bah.

You are a crafty guy, Skybird.


Not worth being reported in the press, I agree. Just the same as the WBC types. I think it's great that the stores and shops are closing down, though. Where I used to live there were demonstrations much like the one you are writing about, and the shops all along the street remained open. Why? Shut the whole street down and give those guys no audience.

Don't get your butt kicked, Sky. There's more of them than there are of you, and we only have one of you.

These "types" are everywhere. where ever low intelligent people are gathering
(they are sure very low on IQ)

However we have, wich I hold very dear, democracy-were everyone have the right to speak, demonstrate.

In Denmark there is a little neonazi group who use to demonstrate in their local area-they use to walk quietly down the street, the biggest problem is those from the left-the anti demonstrates

Let say we make some law that banned neonazi groups what will be next? Those commies or what?

The are lots leftwingers who really wants to pick a fight with one of these neos and/or some police men

Best thing to do if you see such a demonstration ignore it and walk away.

...that makes four little balls of lint, a penny, and some beef jerky crumbs.

The complaint about the braindead neonazis might be more credible if the person doesn't do chapter and verse of mein kampf when he moans about the state of Germany/europe and the world today.
Come to think of it what was that delightful nugget about the protests against foriegners he participated in...oh yeah they was full of neo nazis

Yup, here too. Lucky for me, nowhere really near my place, but it definitely sucks. Lots of counter demonstrations and if this is going to be nearly as much trouble as it was some years ago, this will be a stressfull day for anyone who's planning to go to town.

I agree. That's what worries me the most, people who are coming only for the "fun part": starting battles with police, Nazis/Antifa etc. This really bothers me and makes me rethinking joining a counter demo.

I dispise the Antifa as much as Neonazis. Both are retards.

I do not expect real problems here: It probably is just 100 gnomes surrounded by 1000 policemen. It's not the right stage and audience for them over here.

I think most of us do. As I wrote- just ignore them.

Ah - I found it! Best video about minority groups with handicaps ever!



This spot was made in Germany many years ago. It was meant to be shown in public cinemas. But it never happened. The owners of said cinemas received threats and feared for their cineams, their health and lives, there were security concerns regarding the visitors as well. The spot dissappeared in some drawer.

Too bad.

I don't have sound at the moment (I broke my Linux ), but if I caught the gist of the video it is mockingly portraying neo-nazism as a handicap? Did I get that right?
