I suppose this can go here, went to a counterdemonstration to a PEGIDA (a German acronym for a German-based anti-Muslim group) here in town. There were about 30 nazis and about 200 cops protecting them from about 100/150 counterdemonstrators. Two leftists got arrested (one for throwing a smoke bomb and another because he didn't show ID, which I didn't have with me either, but nobody asked) and a police horse died of heart failure.
Slogan says Geen mens is illegaal (no human is illegal). I'm somewhere behind it. We were walking around a lot trying to outmanoeuvre the cops and making noise to drown them out (they had to abandon their PA at the square where they started out, so it was easy enough to drown them out). There were a lot of cops though, so we weren't very succesful at keeping close. But of course the cops let them yell their slogans at an asylum center.
This is still only part of the counter-demo, there are others in the street to the left.
Ironically a German bus (line-bus to just over the border) got stuck behind the police cordon too.
You know what pisses me off most though? They can't even just be fucking assholes, they have to be pathetic assholes who I actually pity. I got up close to some of them and the one who wasn't too stupid to not shit his pants was telling me 'you've got it wrong' whenI told them they were nazis. He was probably going to tell me how 'the elites' were fucking me over or something. 'The elites' are using you as a pawn, you not-as-stupid-as-your-braindead-friends-nazi. You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes.

Cities are courting amazon to build a new headquarters with some interesting offers... and I thought stadium deals were shitty!
Stupid supermarket rags. Harry is NEVER going to become king. First we have Elizabeth, squatting on the throne of Harold Godwinson. When and if she dies, (Long life and Health to her, [for our British readers]) Kronprinz Karl will become king. If the Chuckster does not predecease Elizabeth. (His real name is Karl von Battenberg und von Saxe-Coburg Gotha). Upon the death of King Karl, William will become king. After William, William's children.
The only way Harry can become king is to raise a rebellion and win.

The thing that's really freaking me out right now is not knowing what they did to my phone. They must've turned it off & on, coz Bluetooth was on when I got it back--but weirdest is I got this when I tried to do banking.
