That lozenge pattern element is not a photograph, but a scan. So it should be to scale. But I pinned...

Aaah.

There's horrible news about an attack on a demonstrating mass of people today in Munich. It was not a demo against the far right, but a protest against too-low wages - and still. A car was driven into the marching people from behind, with several partly badly injured people as a result.

And I would not be surprised at all if the man doing this had been paid, or been promised payment, by the right-wing extremists. Something like that, ten days before elections, when the right-wing party has done their best to fuel hate and fear regarding anybody not having a pure German pedigree? It stinks. To me, it reeks of something behind the bushes here. 

It will be an interesting ten days until the elections now, and I would not be surprised if that flavours all the rest of the debates massively. It's horrible, in so many ways.

So. Excuse me if I will not blog tomorrow, I will be off on a demo (against the far right, because acts like this are still not a reason to make Germany Nazireich 2.0). 

And please keep your fingers crossed for sanity in our land.

I applaud you for doing this. In my country it wasn't obviously enough for anti-idiots demonstrations, so it sneaked in without us realising hoe many would vote for those bigot ideas.
I do hope that you'll stay safe. Reading about weird happenings in your part of the country always make me worry a bit.

Some of the organisers for all sorts of meetings (protests, markets, parades) should be in the local Police Commander's ear, demanding proper barricades be placed around the site of the event and that they be properly manned - not like the ones several weeks ago where the offender just drove around them without interference. Many years ago I was involved with some Police Operation planning and exercises - completely cart before the horse planning, with a large dose of fairy dust make-believe thrown in.

Yeah... though it is kind of nice that this was not thought of as a necessary precaution in Germany before. Because... nothing happened. It's a fairly new thing.
We'll see how things will develop after the elections. Hopefully there will be a comeback of a more peaceful feeling in general.
