Interesting read.

It's sad because neither of the people involved in the incident are originally from Germany.

In two weeks I'll be in Dresden for a few days on vacation.

The German Government doesn't put up with the Neos. While I was living in East Germany a battalion sized element marched through town one day to demonstrate. The Police response looked like a small scale military invasion. There was a helicopter, armored cars with water cannons, and more K-9 teams with large German Shepherds than I have ever seen in my life. The Polizei like using dogs. It was actually a little amusing because there were a number of counter demonstrators, mostly young punk rockers and goths, who began throwing cobblestones and beer bottles at the Neos. I was riding on the Strassenbahn when it was unable to proceed and had to dismount right in the middle of the affair.
