With all the hype recently about protests and demonstrations.....I saw where the city of Wiesbaden had a protest Monday evening.
Based on news accounts.....the account goes this way....some folks (around 30)....gathered up near the shopping district just after 6 PM Monday evening. The group quietly walked around for about 90 minutes....not yelling or screaming....just carrying candles.
The police? Based on several accounts I've seen.....they just monitored the protest.
Back in the summer, I personally viewed a pro-refugee protest in Wiesbaden. If you counted the protest crowd, the folks just standing there viewing it, and the police presence.....probably around 75 people. Some speeches were made....flags were waved....police just standing at a distance, and I sat....sipping through a chilled beer at a sidewalk pub on a warm afternoon.
