The Capital and the May Day Riots | People & Politics<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“On May 1, the whole of Germany’s eyes will be on the district of Kreuzberg, traditionally the center of the annual May Day riots. This year, left-wing activists have threatened violence in response to planned Neo-Nazi demonstrations, and the police are concerned the clashes might even result in deaths. Politicians are alarmed by the rise in left-wing violence, and sociologists are at a loss to explain what’s behind it.”<\/p>\n

In the event, 7,000 police protected neo-Nazis and property on the Day, and something like<\/a> 500 disobedients were arrested (in Berlin and Hamburg). On a spotterly note, I could swear that the voice of Police Union rep Konrad Freiberg is Wallace Shawn, also known for his participation in readings<\/a> from Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States<\/em>.<\/p>\n
