On Thursday, nearly 500 protesters clashed with police in Hamburg, Germany, ahead of Friday’s annual G20 summit where President Trump is set to meet face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time. Riot police were forced to deploy water cannons as left-wing protesters used crude objects to destroy property and create chaos.
This isn’t the first time the G20 summit has seen violence and mayhem. Nearly every year, leftists and anarchists from across Europe gather together to protest what they see as an event designed to promote the political elite’s self-interest in free trade, globalization, and capitalism. This year is no different.
