during that G20 thing, Antifa was pretty much given free reign

Black block is literally illegal in germany.

Yeah, and so is going around in massive rape gangs.

Well... G20 was somewhere between hilarious and fucking scary 😁

yes

and it was allowed to happen

It was bound to happen the moment they annonced that G20 would be in Hamburg...

exactly, so why didn't they take the necessary precautions?

... and guaranteed when they allowed „welcome to hell“ to happen where it did.

Because olaf scholz is an idiot.

Oh come on lol, you know why it was allowed to happen.

A blind eye is given to Antifa in a lot of cases.

I know exactly what happened and why. Have you seen the videos of the burning cars? One of those was approx 200m from my old Kindergarten. Believe me i know exactly what happened.

You know that feeling if you know what is going to happen and then watch it unfold just as you predicted? That was G20 for me.

yes

So, again, *why didn't the police do anything about it?*

the police did actually

Rather, why *were they not allowed* to do anything about it?

the police were only armed to deal with ~8000 people

not the 100,000 that showed up

Why the fuck would the police only be equipped for 8000 people

That's some serious error in judgement

that even aside, if the police couldn't handle it, why wasn't military backup called

the state is supposed to protect the people, not let 100,000 destroy a city

Again... because olaf scholz is an idiot.

Military backup is not possible.

i refuse to believe that at this point,

too many "idiocy" happens around western politicians

The german laws do not allow for the bundeswehr to act inside of germany.

Even though there were 100,000 protesters, they were not all Antifa, either.

damn those germans and their self-damaging guilt!

well you don't have to strike down 100,000 protesters

but atleast have a strong-arm force around to strike down any that start causing trouble

Scholz wanted G20 to increase his profile and basically prepared for first of may.

There's been too many "errors in judgment" when it comes to Antifa.

Too many high-profile cases of them showing up and wrecking everything.

well thats my point about G20, antifa themselves don't even make a secret of their violent tendencies

the first few times, sure i'll let it pass to ignorance/idiocy

but if it just happens every time, then i'm calling bs

Overall... sure... i‘m kot talking about other incidents... but G20 was really just an idiot mayor that thought he knew better.

and i doubt these politicians live in a bubble so small they don't even notice when their neighboring allies say "Antifa is bad mojo"

Especially if you take into account where they've showed up to speeches, such as Ben Shapiro's talks, where the police were allowed to properly secure the area.

Nothing happened.

but maybe i'm just that faithful in humanity that i actually believe politicians to be smarter than that
