Proper anarchy.

 

I just think it's funny to see the Disney logo being used in conjunction with The Sex Pistols. Biggest sell-out ever?

Interesting one this. Whilst the description of the event is quite accurate (although it was thought to be about 15k bikers) the footage is of something else. It's not even in Germany. Some suggestion that it's Brazilian fascists in a show of support for Bolsonaro.

Well a lot of Brazilian fascists will be descended from Germans I suppose.

There’s a billboard in Portuguese in the background around 12 seconds in, so the opening sequences are definitely not in Germany.   After that, the focus of everyone seems to be on on the kid and the people all look like more German than Brazilian.

I was trying to make out the number plates on the bikes. They don't appear to be German either.

Is it more than one film clip spliced? because after that bit with the Portuguese language sign, the bikers appear to be driving on the left as they go past the kid and Brazil drive on the right. The number plates are a bit of a mixed format. Could be Brazilian, could be Aussie, which drives on the left ?

They're not German plates.

Seems to be part true part hoax video

https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2022/02/fact-check-video-does-not-show-20000-german-bikers-riding-for-boy-with-cancer.html

Did a video uploaded initially on TikTok by user @mihai.off show "20,000" bikers in Germany riding by the house of a 6-year-old boy with cancer? No, that's not true: While the story of a group of bikers riding past the home of a sickly German child to cheer him up is real, the video in this post displays several thousand Brazilian bikers riding alongside their president's motorcade.

Not only does the video in the post show billboards not in German -- the word "soluções" at 0:21 in the video translates to "solutions" in Portuguese -- but a comment below the video reads, "This isn't in Germany, this is in Brazil, that was a bike ride with the president, to support him. Actually, he was leading the ride."

Is that what you really look like?  You and your missus both have serious honkers!   I feel sorry for your kids.   They must be hideous!
