Wow, that seems crazy to me. What's the point of sending in people with rifles? These are mostly drunk rioters.

Clearing the buildings. These are not just drunk rioters, there are people between them out to hurt police if they move in.
I wouldn't call people with mollys and stone on rooftops drunk rioters
Armed guys are GSG9 right now with austrian COBRA troops

Sure there is. It's just not popular in Germany.

As someone that is just entering this thread.... wtf is going on?
I prefer pepsi over cola, schwipp schwapp over mezzo mix and so on haha.
Fanta.

Well I mean. At the same time. It hardly justifies murder either. But that's just me perhaps.

Rioters during G20 in Hamburg. Police are clearing them out now. Got a bit out of control earlier with shops being looted, fires in the street, etc.
It's the G20 Hype Thread.....Yay?
Thread Tilte really isn't that fitting anymore....

Don't get me wrong, not excusing anything. Was just thinking that sending in people with loaded rifles might not be a good idea.

Oh fun....
They're clearing a building, I guess so they can move further down the street. Not used against rioters.
edit: Police apparently said people were on the roof preparing stuff to throw onto police.

You say they don't want change, but it's pretty obvious hey don't want things to stay the same. Civil unrest comes in many forms.

The whole thing feels weird to me. Of course I don't condone the rioters, but I'm kind of glad they are not beaten to a pulp by the police. They are shitty people but I feel like they are the price we pay for having an open democracy.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I rather pay that price than live with the alternative.

Nah, they really aren't interested in that. They are just rioting to riot. There is no cause here, there is no movement, this is just people being idiots.
Police are doing a good job with it now it seems, but it needed to happen a few hours ago already.
Exactly. Thank you.

For people that don't know Hamburg.
Police is behind the fire all the way at the back right now
Is that the Rote Flora on the bottom right?
Its the standard drink at KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King and yes, Germany has those chains
Yes.

Friend of mine in Hamburg is saying the demonstrations are concentrated only in one part of town. In his neighborhood there are no riots. Let's hope it doesn't spread at least.

Good use of gif, a+
While this is true there are also reports of burning cars far away from the city center. Two cars burned down at an outskirt district where I grew up, just one street away from my mother's place.
Fuck those people.

Far left is trying to gain people sympathy for their movement by burning their cars destroying shop windows and wounding over 160 policeman in Germany

Where's that?
Holy crap. Can't remember a riot in gemrany evolving to that level. They must be worried about losing control
Bergedorf. Close to the HAW Campus.
What were they thinking picking Hamburg as a venue - the centre of the riots has a long history of protests and an established scene that knows the place in and out of course.
I hope people whose property was damaged get some support from the government and the city because this is also on them.
