I’m telling you: if I had 35 hours a week of paid employment I’d be all for these deep strikes in Russia with German missiles, but what with my hours being cut back I just don’t know about this whole Ukraine thing.
It seems to me very unlikely the Berlin police felt much fear. True, several of their number had gone to the hospital on Friday with injured hands after striking protesters who blockaded the Rheinmetall plant – see Tagesspiegel. Comparing social media posts with actual events is endlessly interesting to me. Brave graffiti proclaims “Widerstand” – “Resistance” to the production of weapons in Wedding, however to detect this it appears one must use a very sensitive ohmmeter.
Teilnehmer hätten sich vermummt, Pyrotechnik abgebrannt und strafbare Parolen ausgerufen. Zudem hätten mehrfach größere Gruppen versucht, in Richtung des Firmengeländes von Rheinmetall auszubrechen. 15 Menschen seien festgenommen worden. Gegen 19 Uhr hat die Polizei die Versammlung beendet.
