I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

There were all kinds of crazy riots yesterday Hamburg and Berlin. I don't live in either of the two cities so I didn't see it. A classmate of mine René lives nearby the epicenter in Hamburg and was scared to leave his apartment. Cars were overturned and set aflame, rocks thrown, windows smashed, teargas shot, water cannons fired, protesters beaten, yada yada yada. There were some viable and serious protests and demonstrations but the headlines were mostly dominated by the assholes causing trouble. Apparently this has been going on in Germany since 1987 and there hasn't been a peaceful Mayday in those two cities since. WTF? The fuzz in America wouldn't put up with that shite at all. I suspect that this type of rage will manifest itself soon enough though in America cause people are pissed-off. I am suprised it hasn't happened already.
