So instead of water they use beer that the breweries would have to otherwise throw away due to the bars being closed during the pandemic. https://www.bild.de/regional/duesseldorf/duesseldorf-regional-politik-und-wirtschaft/baecker-helfen-brauerei-in-der-not-wird-aus-bier-jetzt-brot-75817156.bild.html That's the solidarity you want to see in times like these...

Rucksackfranzose 4,387 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Some stories are too good to be true: in Northeim is a street where the police installed a speed trap a few days ago to control drivers respecting the walking speed limit in said streets. Two days later this trap had taken pictures of 52 pedestrians, who were caught because they were faster than what the police supposed to be walking speed.

But there's been several cases for Police (in UK anyway) where phone footage has been incredibly key and used as valuable evidence as opposed to it just being someone's word against another's. It has genuinely helped in criminal cases. If the person filming hasn't alerted police or some kind of security/official that can help, then yeah they're stupid, but these days it phone/video footage can be crucial.

Take Tommy's example; thats not really something I would give a flying fuck about filming or handing to the police. Thats something that enrages me watching people stand by and do nothing but whip out their camera phones for. If one person stands up to him I would bet more people would think about standing up too. You are right in some cases for sure having things on film help but when thats the first reaction of seemingly nearly everyone these days it drives me nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I do understand and appreciate your point. If I was on the receiving end of that kind of abuse or hatred I'd want to see other people stand up, distract, support, face up to him as well. Some people do have pure fear though when they see someone that enraged or abusive or offensive because they don't know how they'll be seen in that person's eyes. And prefer to stay out of focus or attention of the aggressor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even hold eye contact with my own reflection in the mirror. Just kidding, but I don't think Germans are particularly known for starring? Or maybe I'm in too deep and don't notice it anymore.

Moderator Tommy 12,624 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2021 5 minutes ago, nudge said: to check if you still remember it Most likely not. Erwin Kostedde for the record. 1974. Much earlier than England for example had any black national players. But man, in that film they just showed a documentary from 1957 about single German mothers who had a child from a black man. And the reporter honestly asked the mother, if she wants to send the child to the circus when it's older, or why she simply doesn't give it up to adoption. Different times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
