Barista, Barista - Antifascista!
How a german police officer created a fantastic claim and it went viral
@dingens
During a fight between a group of nazis who attacked a group of refugees who were legaly demonstrating in the town Güstrow, somewhere between Hamburg and Berlin, some people tried to protect the refugees while the local police avoided to do anything because they didn’t had the resources to protect the legal demonstration.
Lead singer Monchi from the famous punk band Feine Sahne Fischfilet and two others where accused for violating people by throwing chairs after being attacked the same way.
(Not)surprisingly the trial against the attacking nazis were dismissed while the court continued with the trial against the antifascists. During the hearing a witnessing police officer was asked what he heard the antifas calling during the riot, he answered:
I don’t speak spanish (sic), but it sounded like.. „Barista, Barista - Antifascista!“
Because of the conflicting testimonies by the witnessing cops the trial against Monchi and the others had also been dismissed and they left the court without being charged.

Certainly this went viral also with the german specialty coffee community and soon it was transformed into different designs in the typical antifa colors. Licensed under the free public domain license (except for nazis!) its now intensely used to produce stickers, t-shirts and stuff.
The briiance of this claim has potential to go globally viral..
