About 12 years ago there was a Nazi demo with around 200 Nazis here and there was a counter demo with about 3000 participants. The cops tried to separate them and us counter-protesters, but me, my then-girlfriend and 2-3 other friends managed to go around the cops and witnessed a scene where a dozen or so Nazis were encircled by counter-protesters and ****ing savagely kicked and beaten with everything they could grab (stones, planks, some discarded boxes).
Now I can't say I'm particularly sad when a Nazi gets a bit beat up, but the savagery of mob mentality is pretty damn disgusting and scary.
Not taking sides here or anything, just a story I remembered
