(Full article title: German police call for reinforcements and Melania Trump is trapped inside her hotel as streets of Hamburg turned into a warzone with protestors throwing petrol bombs in violent clashes with police)

A police station has been firebombed and cars and buildings set alight in the German city of Hamburg, where world leaders are holding crunch talks today.

Police have called for reinforcements after tens of thousands of protesters descended on Hamburg, causing chaos.

US First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly trapped inside her hotel room and some world leaders were late arriving to the G20 summit because of the protests.

Shocking footage shows smoke billowing from vehicles as the city hosting the G20 summit looked like a warzone.

German police confirmed this morning that the police station had been targeted by 'perpetrators of violence', as thousands of officers flood the streets anticipating violent demonstrations.

It comes after more than 70 people were injured in clashes between riot police and anti-capitalists last night, with a march named 'Welcome to Hell' descending into chaos.

This morning Hamburg police used a water cannon to clear a blockade by protesters ahead of the opening of the summit.

Wiemar German didn’t turn out so well... maybe Merkel thinks
rioting in the streets is a good idea, but Germans should know better...

It's a European thing. Why do you think that European police forces see the need to invest in water cannon and the U.S. police do not?

They call it Kristallnacht II

I just looked up "Kristallnacht". (it's amazing what isn't part of what is taught). It refers to a 1938 situation where Nazis viciously annihilated Jews.

Does using that term refer to the targets of these violent protests have anything to do with a Jewish underpinning to globalist entities? Or is it because it's a vigorous initiative to destroy globalist control and greed?

I don't understand Merkel's game. Why did she ever have G20 in Hamburg? Does she want to create a situation where Germany has an excuse to repress its potentially uncontrollable population?

In my mind, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands (and some others) are OVER as far as Western Civilization as we know it goes. The EU elites are working on taking over as much of Europe as they can force into debt slavery and/or inundate with invaders.

These protest aren't painting a pretty picture of the German vision of the future.

I wish they would stop these get togethers. A simple video conference could accomplish the same and save a boat load of money.

When you think about every single malicious, maladroit, illegal, incompetent, corrupt and asinine stunt that “O” and his cronies pulled-without even a whimper from Republicans - you have to wonder if these infantile Liberals have ANY objectivity at all.

Do Liberals have any conception what Republicans and Conservatives endured, overlooked and tolerated, for 8 long years?

Nothing shocking about it. Like at another hot-bed of leftism in Berkeley Crazifornia, the anarchists got the word that law enforcement are not in large enough numbers and aren’t supported by their “leaders.”

Childless, barren Merkel fomenting the anarchy.

Why would you think that leftists care about how you FEEL and what you OVERLOOKED while they were winning?

All your overlooking and feelings being hurt are a sign of weakness. And they rejoiced!

I think a squadron of B-52s dropping cluster bombs would dispatch that rabble in proper order.

“On the night of 27 July, shortly before midnight, 739 aircraft attacked Hamburg....Operation Gomorrah killed 42,600 people, left 37,000 wounded and caused some one million German civilians to flee the city.” IMO, something of much smaller magnitude is sufficient to rout these bums.

Melania is not the only spouse “trapped” in a hotel room, but we wouldn’t know that the way many are reporting the story.

Right-WE were following the rules.

The Republicans and Conservatives DIDN’T travel abroad trashing the “O” adm; we didn’t launch a 24/7 MSM campaign to discredit and defame him (never mind that the MSM wouldn’t ALLOW that); we DIDN’T burn cars, trash communities, take off work to march and demonstrate, etc.; former Republican Presidents DIDN’T openly and routinely interfere with “O” policies and plans.

So-Right! When you follow the rules...Liberals regard THAT as a weakness!
