First, way up in far NE Germany on Saturday night....at Anklam (a town of 14,000)....at a facility that's mostly for sports events and rented affairs, all 'hell' broke loose.
The facility (the Volkshaus) was supposed to be rented for a disco event. What the cops say is that a fight or two started up, and the cops were called. In the end, 30-plus cops were required to establish the peace.
The center of this mess? Roughly 200 guests of the disco who'd formed up into two fighting groups.
Injuries? Well, enough to require an ambulance or two.....nothing to extent that lives were at risk.
So what triggered this? If you look over local reporting....they tend to all point at excessive alcohol use by the guests. People simply reached the point of being out of control.
If you look around Germany over the past decade, a lot of the fest operations and private large parties have gone to hiring professional bouncer groups/private security.....to throw problem-people out when required. Based on various accounts, this disco party had marginal security, and the cops were the last resort to handle mass brawls.
The second story? Another drunken fight started up in Dusseldorf, at a Turkish hookah bar. In this small fight....a couple of guys were fairly wounded, and their 'friends' took them over to the university hospital in the local area.
There.....the 'friends' quickly wanted to take charge of the emergency room, and cops had to be called in this case. The 'friends'? Well....cops now say that this was a crime clan group, and the hospital staff reached a point of being in fear for their lives. So cops were called.
This is an ongoing story that emergency room crews talk about in metropolitan German cities....with gangs delivering their friends, and expecting treatment to be accelerated if you show some knives and weapons.
