  • very true,when i first moved to Germany,thats all that people ask all the time,what side are you on what side,,,,after a while a used to wind them up by telling them i was a hit man for the ira,,,,that shut them up,or say my house was right on the boarder,living is in the north and my bedroom in in the south,,

  • @glennirish i respect that,but the problem with labels is other people tend to stick them on you wether you want to wear one or not.

  • @glennirish i am talking about belfast by the way not Berlin

  • @glennirish well maybe a more passive stance can win out when trying to diffuse a hostile situation,typical english you say.another insult thrown from a people who start wars and can never seam to win them.typical german i say

  • the british police a real pussys just look at berfast riots they just stand there and take it,typical english

  • @1276epr That's why I kind of envy the US in those regards. Police here should be allowed to be harder. Look in the US, they have LRAD or tear gas (they use it more).

    Got nothing against demonstrations but today...it mostly (depending on topic / initiators) ends in violence. Alcohol plays a big role too. The background then is borderline political at best. It's really sad.

    Before things get out of hand, police should become harder. It's like cancer, a threat to democracy.

  • @ausssiepride that's what I am wondering. As much absurd chaos and crime as we have here in the States---armed robberies, shootings, murders, assaults---this type of street mob rule would never be tolerated here. It would never happen here, at least not since the 1960s, or if it did, it would not be allowed to re-occur.

    FUCK THE POLICE
