People of Dreseden Defend their City Against Neo-Nazis

Nice to see that there are still some people with courage out there.

It is disgusting that those brown dogs try to turn the anniversary of the destruction of Dresden into a propaganda march for the very same powers that actually led to the war and all the death and destruction. But this time they failed utterly.

It's Dresden, not Dreseden!

Ha! Smart-arsed you with your own country!!

In other news, I can only agree with you Schroeder, it's fantastic that the people have come together to face up to the brownshirts and defeat them. I can only hope that this victory gives other movements strength in their battle against fascism.

If things get bad in Germany, there is quite a good legal case for Russia,
America, England and France declaring war on Germany because
NATO/Germany has violated the peace treaty that formally ended the
second world war in 1990/1991.

I realised that there seem to have been two kinds of counter-Nazi protesters: the one coming by private initiative, being of medium and higher and high age, some living in Dresden, or having lived in Dresden and then moved away, witnesses of the war and the Dresdenn bombing night who came back for rememberance; and then another group being more or less organised autonomous, black-dressed young people, as well as people coming from left leaning organisation and initiatives, radical students, and unions.

The first group I applaud. The latter I would avoid.

Stupid typos... OK, OK.... I corrected it.

@Sykbird

Yep, the black block guys are just as bad as the Nazis but at least one group failed today and from what I hear the black block couldn't cause much trouble either, but let's wait for the morning for some final results.

He's really not having a good day today is he?

I guess I need a foolproof keyboard.

A good artist does not blame his tools

Schroeder · 02-13-10, 08:05 PM

Shouldn't you be in bed already????

Raptor1 · 02-13-10, 08:15 PM

Neither did Edison, he took (ir)regular catnaps. Pppffbfbbfbftt! Geniuses, and their... um, you know... genius.

Cool siggie Raptor1, BTW. Wish I had kept a pencil in hand after high school.

Back to basics. Reading the article now.

Sidenote: A region of the Western U.S. won a battle against Neo-Nazism/White Supremacy close to a decade ago (and even a decade earlier). Quite a victory for that particular state, IMHO.

I'll try to get some credible sources cited here if'n you are interested.

Sure sure, blame it on poor ol' technology. Technology is a key component in the foundation of civiliza.... *hrrrmph!* ... Darn lighter, why won't you light?!?

EDIT - ADDITION:
"Police urged the neo-Nazis to cancel the march, saying they could not guarantee the safety of participants along the route. The procession was eventually called off late in the afternoon."

Where the heck was that kind of response out West? (close to the Pacific Northwest)

Worked a bit differently here in the US, during the late nineties/early 2000's. What I saw out west, is that normally those kinds of marches are allowed to proceed as planned without police intervention. The police will respond to violence. Neither side took up arms against one another. A good thing.

We stay on this side of the barricades, they march and vent on the other side. Both are free to exchange birdie fingers and so on - no biggie. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Protest. Those are some of the rules, we go along with that. We don't want our rights to be amended over a hate speech, right? You bet.

The Constitution cannot assuage what I feel in that kind of situation, it can only help to rein the emotions in. I do hope for a future here in the US where the police actually warn the haters of potential unmitigated physical harm, though. That might just be a good thing.

For the Schoolroom:

What is hatred? Please define it, and further refine your views.

Extra Credit:

Is hatred an enviable trait? If "Yes", please explain why? If "No", please explain further.

BTW, I don't know if I have a right to say "Right on, Dresden!!", but to heck with it... Right on, Dresden!!
