So, a couple of nights ago, here in the region I live....in Kronberg (15 km NE of Wiesbaden)....an area known for fairly wealthy folks who work in Frankfurt.....we had this 'attack' on a car dealership.
A group of thugs....cops suggest maybe 10....came in and damaged 40 Aston Martins, Jaguars, and Land Rovers. Cost of the damage? It's going up into the 500,000 Euro range. Some even say that the cars can't be repaired, and they will all be totaled-out (so more than a million Euro).
The group of gentlemen?
Cops say that a group has claimed responsibility....calling itself "Stones in the Gears".
Their view? They desire to destroy luxury cars....as part of their action on climate control and global warming.
This kinda worries the cops because the big Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) is scheduled in roughly 3 weeks (12 to 22 Sep).
There's at least one other group talking of a demonstration on the IAA Show, and this might require more security than you'd normally expect.
Anti-capitalists? Well.....it kinda looks that way. Will the cops label them as left-wing? I doubt it.
Some folks have commented that things around Germany look a bit like 1968 in Frankfurt.....when demonstrations and riots were common, with various themes being played out.
