This morning?

Yes, the night was illumed.

This morning?

Yes, the night was illumed.

Just wondering if these were pics of the protests the first night. Considering how long we saw the lamp post burning at Berkeley, I wondered.

It is scary the determination involved in these protests against the status quo, I agree with that.

Didn´t research all the pics. Fact is that the escalations peaked this night. Many protesters are peaceful but it escalates every few hours. A reporting tv reporter was spat at an hour ago, a protester presented his middle finger.

Over ten thousand protesters congregated to peacefully protest and then a relative handful of those anarchists showed up and caused the trouble. Just like here. Why can't we call them terrorists for using violence to meet their political aims?

Just like here, they are paid for. Ferguson was not a spontaneous protest turned violent. Violence was what was being paid for. Same in Germany.
If they cared about the future of their country, Merkel wouldn't be in charge.

Many of the signs showed just that. Identical to ones here.

That "paid for" excuse doesn't fly with me or anyone who actually takes this seriously. Sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalalalala isn't going to help. You should be paying attention if you really care about what is happening. Saying "Oh, they're paid for" is, as usual, stupidly sticking your head in the sand about the problems they're talking about and the sheer # of people who are obviously unhappy. Even if you give a guy $25 for gas, he's not going to go if he's a conservative.
