You gotta fight.... for your right.... to RI-OT!!

The wake of the "Bronze Soldier Saga" is evident across Tallinn. Windows (mostly of Alkoholipood[s]) have been smashed in a few block radius of Tonismagi Square. The not-so-bright looters were even caught showing off in photos, published by the Estonian press, hoisting their spoils in the air and sporting idiotic grins. To give you some idea of the thoughts of the local shop owners, I snapped this photo while out walking.


Tonismagi Square has been completely renovated in an omage to the beauty of Estonian flora. From a distance this floral pattern resembles an Estonian flag.


These are all that remain of the red carnations that were stuck in the fence around Tonismagi Square to commemerate VE Day (Victory in Europe).
