I’m just home from Berlin Alexanderplatz and I must say that I have probably seen the most crazy thing in my life.

Namely: several thousand people trying to get into a new store at midnight. There was police and ambulances and dozens of security people who where beginning to get quite aggressive and also lots of people that got frustrated because they wanted to buy cheap stuff.

Some students made fun of the whole situation by chanting “Buying, buying!” and tasteless stuff like “We are the people!”. All in all it was a really uncomfortable situation out there.

I perfectly understand that people don’t have much money these days and that they wanna take advantage of this situation but what I just experienced made me think about the state of humanity really. This was seriously a disturbing experience. People were out there in the middle of the night getting aggressive because they wanted to buy cheap. It wasn’t like anybody’s life would have depended on this.

I uploaded a short video of the incident. Just see for yourself…
