following a surprise:

During this confrontations with the police, 3 French/North African men attacked me from behind in order to steal my digital camera Iwas filming the events. Of course, these guys used the quasi-anarchic conditions during the fight with riot police unites - German ones, Zurich ones and Geneva ones -in order to get these luxerious toys. I wasn't mad at them, just surprisd and understood that they were right. Over a period of time, they followed me and talked to me about the quality of the camera, that they wanted to film me etc.. and told me even what to film. I was thrown on the floor with 3 guys trying to take me out but was able to keep the camera since I had the advantage of holding the camera on a hand strip which was difficult to remove. Somehow the class and racial devide omnipresent in Western Europe expressed themself almost according the writings of Fanon.
