According to the BBC report I heard at 8:00 this morning there were
riots in Liepzig when 6000 "leftists" went to counter-protest a
nazi-ish group.  They had 4000 cops out in anticipation of this and
they hauling people away like crazy.  It sounded like it got pretty
ugly between the leftists and the cops.  The cops prevented the two
groups from coming in contact.  Don't anything since this AM.
