Hamburg citizen: My city is burning for this to happen




https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/6lxfxf/my_city_is_burning_in_order_for_this_to_happen/


The far left in Europe is taking a hit to its reputation by burning a German city. And in a Marie Antoinette/Nero moment, the leaders are all dining and laughing as the city burns.

Assuming facts not in evidence.

Not even a good try.

Is tRump going to order everyone who is smarter than he is to commit suicide? Crap, that'd be 99% of America!

I saw a DU poster earlier today that made think about this, whether or not it was true.

The username had something to do with protesting
They described themselves as well traveled
Had recently passed through Portland's airport; a protest hotspot
Had airport security issues

And the last thing which triggered me 😜

Did not like putting their Rolex in the TSA bin.

They are probably not an anarchist or instigator, but I thought how hard could they be to track if they entered a country which required visas, meaning not the EU if you are coming from the EU. I highly doubt that anarchists and instigators are locals. They travel the world and protest. They means that they are probably being profiled.

A change could to have the G20 in a country with a visa requirement for EU residents.

The next G20's are in Argentina, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

Watch Saudi Arabia.

I would bet on a lot ending up on no fly lists for the rest of their lives after that.

On one of the resistance groups, they were condemning the protesters......for not killing any "pigs" yet. I think that G20 is getting worse before it gets better.
