Farm Story

I noticed this basic story in the news this morning.

This is a story about a farm, in the north of Germany.....between Koln and Dusseldorf.  Over the weekend, they had a 'protest' adjacent to the farm.  For those who aren't aware....this particular region (near Rommerskirchen) is in the coal region, and open-pit mining has been going on for decades.

What the news media folks say is that that roughly 500 to a 1,000 young people gathered at this site (the farm) and entered into the open-pit mining area over the weekend.  The mess left behind?  Well, that's the bulk of the story.

The farmer was pretty frustrated and angry, and went to social media to comment about the bad behavior.  The cops joined in on his commentary, in total agreement.

All of this was a slam on "Ende Gelande" and the kid-activists involved in the anti-coal weekend episode.

Between rubbish left and the crop damage....the kid-activists have made a bad name for themselves....in the interest of 'saving the Earth'. 

You see the same behavior in the US, and the UK.  There's a lack of respect for property, and continual trend of just dumping garbage where you demonstrate or riot.  The 'respectful-activist' simply doesn't exist.
