Germans angry over 'orgy of violence' at Merkel's pre-election G20

[Spike]

Germans expressed anger on Sunday over violence that hit a G20 world leaders' summit in Hamburg, raising awkward questions for Chancellor Angela Merkel less than three months before an election.

About 20,000 police struggled to contain several hundred anti-capitalist militants who torched cars, looted shops and hurled Molotov cocktails and stones during the July 7-8 summit.

Overall, 476 officers suffered injuries ranging from cuts and firework burns to eye damage from laser pointers. Police said on Sunday they had arrested 186 people and took 225 into custody.

German newspapers devoted far more space to pictures of police firing water cannon onto hooded anarchists and other protestors than they did to Merkel's diplomatic balancing act with fellow leaders of major world economies.

I saw where the mayor of NY chose to go to protest the G20 rather than honor his fallen police officer. What a POS!

Meh, that happens wherever the G20 meets. More subdued when the G7 met in Pittsburgh because they knew were weren't going to put up with that ****.

This is what happens when the world begins portraying the slackers in life as victims. Poor Heinrich, or is it Mohammed?

Nothing says "I am Anti-Capitalist" like taking a selfie with a $700 iPhone.
