Description
This picture was shot yesterday during the Blockupy-Demonstration in Frankfurt a.M.. The government of Frankfurt was afraid of violent protesters and banned demonstrations during the last days except saturday. The whole city was in a condition reminiscent of civil war, the city centre was completely sealed, and we had to show our identity card to get to our student hostel because our street was blocked by armed policemen. Meanwhile, the "violent demonstrators" sat near the Main, talked and played music...The demonstration on saturday was also heavily guarded, which did not upset this little protester, who ran around in a carefree manner, observed by a row of policemen...Related content

Great photo! Strange how the children are often the best demonstrators because they don't get locked up or banned. I went to a demonstration with my mother when I was 6 years old. She got put in jail, I got driven home

Anscheinend gab es am 31. März Krawalle bei kapitalismuskritischen Protesten, und die Stadt hatte Angst, dass sich die Ausschreitungen wiederholen...letztendlich ist aber diesmal alles größtenteils friedlich verlaufen und das riesige Polizeiaufgebot sowie die Verbote der Demonstrationen haben sich als grundlose Überreaktion herausgestellt.
