Shame on these people

Not really anti-americanism. Just saying that the US should get to a slightly more relaxed approach on such matters. Germany is not indian territory (in a John Wayne sense) and german security forces are quite capable.

But as I said, both the leaders of the peaceful protests as well as the local police commanders reacted quite well, it seems. But 30000+ protesters plus 13000 police is quite a lot for such a small town as Rostock, and more protesters are coming.
Actually the peaceful side of that anti-summit campaign seems to turn into some kind of baltic Woodstock. Quite a few people I know are on their way there and maybe I would've gone myself if I didnt have to work.
In a navy context, a german navy minesweeper blew up a WW2 magnetic mine off Heiligendamm this morning. At least the navy gets the opportunity to do something worthwile on their time and clean the baltic from such leftovers

Based on the news out of Germany regarding this it sounds like 'indian territory' to me. The summit hasn't even started and the German authorities are already overwhelmed. Common sense seems to dictate a more robust approach to these 'people'.

Ahhh... Liberals getting violent. An increasing trend.

The new Bolshevik revolution?
