What people are saying
Several police patrols responded immediately. At the scene, officers secured the situation and began initial investigations.
I did not know that the song was by a Nazi band. Had I known that the song would trigger such reactions, I would never have played it.
The troublemakers from the right-wing camp were promptly and properly removed! Just stay at home next time!
