German News

 1.  Political polling done over the weekend.....the SPD Party?  They can only get about 23-percent of the public vote, if there were an election now.  CDU?  Three points ahead, and the Greens sitting at 20-percent.  Trend is hurting SPD.

2  Six out of ten European proclaimed too chunky (N-TV article).  I'm pretty sure the EU can pass a law to fix this.  Maybe they can set aside Mondays as a doom/gloom/starve day.  

3.  Mannheim police went to do a ID check on 47-year-old guy in the middle of town....mid-day.  Journalists say the guy went a bit 'nuts'....arguing with the police, and they had to use some physical force.  Guy collapsed on the ground....dying there.

Lot of discussion going on.....what triggered this?  Unknown.

Mental issues?  Well, there is some chatter going on that he might not be all 'there'.  

About a hundred folks gathered in the evening to protest his death.
