German riot police clashed with thousands of protesters in Hamburg on Thursday evening as world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, arrived in the city ahead of Friday's G20 summit. Throughout the afternoon and night, police used water cannons as protesters threw bottles and smoke bombs during the anti-capitalist Welcome to Hell march, which began about 2 miles from where the summit will be held.

    Setting fire to cars and barricades. It's all the fault of the Police....that'll be right !

    The citizens of Hamburg must be sickened with demonstrators taking over their city and trying to wreck it...all in the name of peaceful protests.

    It's OK to destroy someones private car and possessions in the name of protesting against capitalism ?

    @Think
    I hope they are okay too, but I think violent protesters are doing their cause a disservice.

    Visuals for “Hamburg destroyed: G20 protest turns savage with masked rioters smashing all in path”
    ”Responsible are the ones who are often lightly called “activists” and who, in the pretext of a political commitment, give free rein to their criminal energy.”

    I just want to ask,

    If these thugs are allowed to “welcome everybody to hell”, what if a different group practiced the same violence on these anti-capitalist thugs and “welcomed them to hell too”.

    Would these anti-capitalist thugs then say, “well they were just doing to us what we've been doing to everybody else so it's only fair”.

    Or would they cry bloody murder to high hell about how their free speech is now being brutally oppressed?

    “G20 protesters set street fires, loot stores”

    “Twenty-thousand cops aren’t enough to stop violent protests at the G20 summit. Hamburg police called for reinforcement Friday as the city of Altona continues to be ravaged by violent rallies outside the meeting of world leaders.”

    “G20 unrest continues as protesters loot supermarket and riot in street for second night ”

    “City erupts in flames as protesters in second night of horror G20 riots ”

    “76 police officers injured including two helicopter pilots blinded by laser during anti-G20 riots in Hamburg”

    “Parts of Hamburg ablaze as rioters clash with police at G20 summit”

    “G20 protests leave 196 police injured as cars set on fire, stores looted in Hamburg”


    We would expected nothing less of tinkle's daemon spawn.

    This is a difficult one. The right of “peaceful protest” against violent demonstrators .

    The Police want to clear the streets, some youngsters want to fanny around and refuse to go.

    So, water cannons used....better than rubber bullets.

    What people should remember is that there is a chance of Islamic fundamentalists infiltrating the marches. It would be easy to hide some suicide bombers in a large group of people....many with face masks and back packs. The carnage would be total.

    Has anyone asked the citizens of Hamburg if they wanted their lives disrupted and property damaged so that a group of protesters could create mayhem in their city.

    I always hear that it is our right to march in protest but the same right for other citizens to get on with their daily lives is not equally protected.
