    Seriously what are your sources? I've been reading through Nachrichten aus Politik, Kultur, Wirtschaft und Sport - Süddeutsche.de, not a whisper!

      49 alcohol poisonings
      7 Maß glass smashings (against people that is, and they're ******* heavy)
      1 policeman in hospital
      1 person caught wanking in a beer tent

      Worse than all the football matches in Germany over the weekend (200+ games)
      I see the problem. It's September.

        Apart from swiss nazis and very drunken aussies I don't remember it being that bad, seeing police with guns was more worrying when I've been there

        And that was from the tourist areas, most of the beer tents seem to be for german business men, and you've got more chance of Merkel invading Poland than seeing a fight there

            That's always been my experience however I tend to leave it until the last week when the Italians arrive, they love it when I've got the bambino. Mamma Mia!
