This was from a guy in the Army who met a German woman and stayed. He got a job in public works. At the time he was on some sort of disability so he had to order food by 8 PM in order to stay in the bar (Country Western place). The Germans are exact about that sort of thing.
So the story goes that works were being done on the streets shadowed by the wall. Tools are left there because... Germany. The bars spill out and someone picks up a axe or something and someone says "F it" and starts hammering. Others join in. The police aren't sure what to do and time makes it hard to do anything. The hammering continues.
One person is an crime, 10 people are an incident, 20 people are a mob.
It continued on through the night. World leaders decided overnight.. let it go.
Anyway that's the way I heard it.
