Hamburg anti-fascists set light to barricades

[FarCenter]

Thousands have taken to the streets in the German city of Hamburg, in a counter-demonstration to a neo-Nazi march. Barricades set up to prevent the far-right parade were set alight by counter demonstrators.

Some 10,000 demonstrators against the far-right flocked to the rally at Hamburg's Rathausplatz, under the banner "Hamburg shows its True Colors."

"We stand together," Mayor of Hamburg Olaf Scholz told the rally, organized by a broad coalition of politicians, political parties, trade unions and social organizations. "We are proud to be a cosmopolitan city."

The counter demonstrators significantly outnumbered participants in the German parade, named The Day of the German Future.

Some 700 neo Nazis took part in the march along a route that was shortened amid instances of violence.

2. I loved Hamburg. We stopped there for a couple of days.....

....... enroute from Berlin to Copenhagen, and I was incredibly surprised by what a great city it was. And indeed a multicultural one. I'm African American, and felt very comfortable there.
Go f**k yourselves, Neo Nazi lowlifes.
