Week 163 with #SaturdaysForSatoshi.
📍Cologne
The "Disarm Rheinmetall" camp is in the city since Tuesday and yesterday they organized for a big anti-war, anti-militarization rally through the city.
As I did last year, I positioned myself along the planned route of the demonstration in eyesight of the Volksbank.
I chose a prominent spot on top of a landmark, which gave me a great view over the area and where I would be seen by all passersby’s.
Unfortunately, as last year, I didn’t make my calculations with the cops, who had aggressively attacked the demonstration last year and held 400 people in a cauldron for 12h.
I was pretty sure that the rally would never arrive at my place when I saw two water cannons drive by in high speed, followed by 20 vans stacked with stormtroopers.
But since the street was closed and the city was aware that something big was happening, many people became curious and took pictures of the Statue of Liberty sitting on top of a landmark with a sign.
Although hundreds of cop cars passed me in yesterday’s action, no one bothered to heckle me.
That’s a win. The revolution is boring.
And most of the time it happens where you least expect it.
