You Deserve a Brick Today
7th June 2020
The BLM protests about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis are convulsing Western Europe, just as they are the UK, Canada, Australia, and the USA.
Today in Düsseldorf a supply of cobblestones was placed conveniently near the demonstration site in a construction area where the street had been opened up. The situation provides the paranoid mind with ample food for speculation about how the projectiles came to be placed exactly where they would be sorely needed by the “anti-fascists” later in the day. The directive to open up the street would have to come from at least the level of the municipal government. Who ordered it? Did he or she know the ultimate disposition of the cobblestones?
The thing is, the same convenient placement of bricks and cobbles has been observed and photographed in Berlin, Bremen, Cologne, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Mainz, Mannheim, Wiesbaden, and other German cities.
