history of a breakdown

berlin, 13.3.2010, olympic stadium. the soccer team "Hertha Berlin" loses the game, with a lot of bad luck, and is now sure to be out of the league. The Fans get angry and some of them get over the ditch and start running on the field. The destroy some commercial banner and kick over a line of plastic seats. They don't attack people. After less then 5 minutes, heavy policemen come towards the fans, chasing them back to the tribune, where another bunch of policemen already rushes through the people.

German media claim this event as a rush of violence of the fans, brute hooligans, threatening life of anyone around there. Another journalist said, that without the ditch, there would have been 58000 people on the field. Which would have been everyone who was tehere, including families and the fans of the other team.

Just don't trust in what you read everyday in the papers. it's more about opnion, more about gettint papers printed and sold than about being honest and telling the truth in a fair way.

 

it just really annoys me, that's why I post it here. I really should get this in a blog.
