"Scenes like in a civil war", Morgen Post

Hamburg is a beautiful city and because of that I spend all of my young life in this town.
All of this time I never experienced such a rampage as this one.

There is essentially a 24/7 reporting about the protests in Hamburg and this is all what the extremists had dreamed for. 

  • In one of the richest streets in Hamburg violent protestors lighted 30 cars on fire in one night! (unimaginable how many cars totally in Hamburg)
  • On the first day (even before the summit began) 150 police man where injured 
  • Protest ban is active since a few hours

This Chaotic situation is goodly exampled in the frontal filmed (may god be with him) video, a major Hamburger Paper commented this video with "Szences like in a civil war: here burns the Elbchaussee in Hamburg".
This Video is locally viral because many of us know this street from a walk to the river or the drive home from work.

There is a ton of footage on the internet from the protests, but back to my point: The whole concentration of media reports focuses on the violent folks even though these are maybe 10% of the people on the street. Every hour they remind their viewers of that, but as we are honest, no one talks about what the citizens of the city and the world think about this summit. 

The tactics of extremists are very easy:

  • more burning cars and injured police = more attention for protestors
  • more attention for protestors = more doubts about G20

    As their proceed is easy it is ineffective. If you want to hear more about this summit  and see private footage please leave a like :)
    This is my first Steemit post btw so critics are welcome.
