There are some demonstrations, where I can show my face,
where I don't need to mask it, where its just not necessary.
I think it's up to every person,
to decide whether to mask their face or not.
I like it that many people showed strength and resisted
the masking prohibition in such a demonstration,
because the repression of the system is getting stronger and stronger
the freedom of opinion is more and more restricted and
there are more and more repressive measures taken in the run up
When I see that people get preemptively arrested and given a control order
then I see that the system has hard core repressive elements
And when you join such a demo with a masked face I find it totally justified.
I also wouldn't like to be filmed at certain actions.
If I should still take part in the G8 resistance for example
I wouldn't let myself be carried to the front with my face showing.
I think it's a right to be able to mask your face
because the police are masked as well
and also there we don't see who is bashing us
And also they are not prohibited to mask their face
and don't even give their ID number
When I saw just now that hundreds of police showed up
with [riot] helmets from the very beginning
then it is clear to me that this is a provocation
In any case it appears to me that it was clearly prepared that they put a car there
so that people will be drawn in by it and the police have an excuse to move in
And that fits into the general approach here
