Bumps With Crest Around Them

Stuttgart-21. The escalation of violence.

Protests against the construction of a new railway station in Stuttgart still occur quite peacefully. Citizens of this city are not grandiose plans of builders - were against a variety of organizations and ordinary people.

For those who do not want construction of the station, has his own reasons: firstly, it needs to cut down a significant part of beautiful ancient palace park, it is a very old and valuable trees, about his favorite vacation spot of the townspeople. Secondly, this new tunnels, railroad tracks downtown, construction here at all risky. Third, the project is worth 7-18 billion euros, which is rather strange against the background of a general "savings program, hosted by the Government: the the poorest members of society saves, but the grandiose projects the money is.

On Thursday there was a major clash of protesters with the police. It all began with a demonstration school, which was planned and authorized. It was at this point, work began on the cutting down of trees. Teens tried to hinder the process, police used tear gas and water cannons ... Protestants gathered more and more. Cops thrashed even by children and the elderly ladies. Hundreds of people received injuries requiring medical attention, a few cases, doctors fear for the safety of the injured.

There is no doubt that this boy and other students got a good lesson that day practical political science and sociology.
This is something beyond, this is not a simple application of police batons - Disabled people do.

former trade union activist Sibylle Stamm, 65, is covered with bruises - this elderly police woman was knocked down and kicked him - said that "here comes the civil war."

Well, before the Civil War, perhaps, not yet reached. But we already see that the black-yellow government is ready to use violence against its own citizens - note, not radicals, not politicized, ordinary citizens who do not want some kind of construction in their own city.
