Anti-Fascist demonstration

There was an anti-fascist demonstration today to mark the murder of SILVIO MEIER at the hands of neo-nazi's in Freidrichshain 15 years ago. The Police presence was astounding, and on numerous occasions we saw the cops going through the crowd in small numbers to try and start the crowd resisting to provoke a pretext for mass arrests. All in all, this wasn't a demonstration built for ordinary people to see or come along too; amongst the thousands of people that turned out for it only a handful were dressed in any colour other than black, and as the demo weaved its way through the heart of counter culture towards the party street Revaler Stasse, it remained far away from the eyes of the working population. Noticeably absent was any discussion about the anti-Muslim and anti-Turkish racism which is most certainly the biggest problem in the area, and the presence of Israeli flags in light of this was a worrying sign. In the end, the leaflet was more promising than its outcome; this couldn't really be called an anti-racist demo.
