Berlin: A number of nasty little incidents like the one I reported
yesterday are noted in the Tagesspiegel today as having taken place
on the outskirts of the marathon. The worst seems to be a person
witnessing a uniformed policeman speaking sharply to a Turkish
child "Du Kanakensau, Rostock ist ueberall", you foreign pig, Rostock
is everywhere.

Hoyerswerda: Around 600 persons participated in a non-violent
demonstration one year after the riots in Hoyerswerda began. After
the demonstration about 150 "autonomen", anarchistic youth battled
with police.

Schwerin (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern): Two German youth were hurt when
they were attacked by a group of four refugees. [This is *not*
in response to the poster yesterday ranting about the criminal
refugees. It was reported in the same article which reports on
the violence in general.]

Henningsen (Sachsen-Anhalt): Six fire bombs were tossed on a refugee
shelter here (near Salzwedel).

Eisenberg (Thueringen): Groups of leftist and rightist youth
fought each other here. One Neonazi was hurt, 3 were arrested.

Three young men have been arrested in connection with the
incident involvings the mobbing of a Polish bus.

Gersthofen (Bavaria): Fire bombs were thrown at a shelter [I may 
have included this yesterday.]

Sachsenhausen: Police have ruled out "natural causes" for the
fire that destroyed half of the exhibition at this concentration
camp memorial. They have no clues who might be responsible
for the arson. 500 persons held a silent watch at the gates
and laid down flowers on the first day of the Jewish New Year.
The central Jewish Commission in Germany called the arson a
cause for German shame.

The Berliner Zeitung has a long article about the Thueringer
Thomas Dienel (29), the leader of the ultra right-wing DNP
(Deutsch National Partei). He used to be in the SED, joined
the NPD in disappointment over Kohl and Modrow, found that party
to not be radical enough and founded his own. He massed 2500 youth
in Rudolstadt together on August 15, the birthday of Hitler's 
#2-man, Hess. They played "cat and mouse" with a hopelessly
outnumbered police force. Two weeks later they met in
Saalfeld (the town of Rudolstadt was "closed" to them) and arrested
Dienel on charges of "Volksverhetzung", selling Nazi insignia,
putting two pig's heads in the garden of the synagogue in
Erfurt shortly after the death of Heinz Gallinski (a sign
was left with a saying that more Jews needed to die), and other
activities. From his home in Weimar a security group is
operated that is to have the goal of dividing and conquoring
the "leftist rabble". He is also violently opposed to
Americans and what he calls "parasites", foreigners. The
last sentence notes that the prosecuter's office in Gera is
uncertain if they can charge him with anything.
