On The Massive Violence Against The G20 Summit in Hamburg

Principles First

There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for violent and destructive protests in a civilized society!

If one accepts for a moment the premise that civilization is only a thin veneer hiding an otherwise selfish and brutish nature of humans, then it is even more important to indict and jail violent and destructive protesters as swiftly as possible.

General Observation

Extreme violent and destructive street protests by a minority of militant and fanatical radicals committed in inner cities of Germany is nothing new. Those protests have been observed frequently since the 1960s or so. They don’t occur on a regular schedule, but perhaps more in waves with periods of peace in between.

The Excessive Leniency Of German Law Enforcement & Justice System

The widely used German term for excessive leniency displayed by German law enforcement and the justice system is “Kuschelstrafe” (something like cuddly punishment).

There is a strong and prevailing intellectual mainstream in Germany based dishonesty and self delusion: Criminals are not guilty, but society is; violence and destruction is excused like the end justifies the means and so on.

Who Are The Instigators?

Perhaps, it is not much more than a conspiracy theory of mine, but I suspect that these groups and their leaders receive financing and perhaps even other support from somewhere.

If you were able to follow the money trail and if you consider who would benefit the most from this kind of turmoil, the usual suspects come to mind: rogue country sponsors like Russia, Iran, North Korea or even China.

It is also possible, as suspected in Germany, that major, political parties in Germany are giving support to the organisers of these violent and destructive protesters.

Do Global Summit Meetings In One Location Still Make Sense

It seems, there is an increasing number of citizens who seriously doubt whether such gigantic events are still necessary in our time.

From a purely technological vantage point such meetings could be held like a video teleconference.
