daily parallel

There haven't been so many of them these days, i'll describe some.

When i was at the flea-market on the 3rd of june, a conservative man with a grey full beard said "may the force be with you" ("möge die Macht mit dir sein") when passing me. A stiff taunt. He knows what this had to say. He was in companion of a black dressed woman (wife), he was wearing an orderly white shirt and black pants, as they are worn with a suit, and in contrast to this, paying tribute to the location, a washed-out looking pale pink summerly jacket.
When i arrived home a man walked down the street who focused on his walking style, straigth upper body, consistent movement, wide steps, somewhat overdone. He was wearing a black and red striped sweatshirt, brown flared pants, black beanie, and he had a shoulder bag like me, maybe the same. I had adjusted the belt-length, and he had his, matching mine.
He was kind of i'm-more-left-than-you catwalk model.
When i was at a petrol station in the evening, a leftie dressed in black, sleeveless shirt, came in, agressively walking, but controlled, relaxed arms, straigth body. He impressed me with his decidedness, don't get in his way. To make it sure.
7 of them that day, or 10 with companions and a comment( 2 3/4h).

When i was at the shopping centre in the inner city at the 4th, there have been some black people near it, who seemed to be from them. But they didn't do anything special, it was just as if there would be a mechanic behind it, that droppes them here to ensure the contingent. The first three on my way to the centre, all dark black bald males, also much the same expression, then two medium dark ones, maybe brother and sister, who passed me within the rotatory door. When i was sitting outside and drank a coffee, there was a dark black man with big rastas talking to a smaller older bald white one, then a dark black one with normally grown hair passed on a bicycle when they had moved on, at all it seemed a clockwork behind it, also with the expressions of some. Exept an expressly foot-shuffling person this was all that day (about 1 1/4h).

When i was sitting in the near park in the morning of the 5th, reading, two jogger passed me, one said :" he didn't know it" ("das kennt er gar nicht"). Then i left the park when two ppeople started thai-chi practice, i didn't want to wait till they show what gesture they have for me this time.
The next time i was outside, on the next bigger street, an athletic man, maybe a martial artist, stopped in front of three women, before i passed them. He explained to them :" he doesn't need this" ("das hat er nicht nötig").
Later when i passed some people one said "yes, there someone has been beaten up" ("da wurde mal einer zusammengekloppt"). Next of them was an older woman who exhaled when i passed her, as it is done in exercises.
A man on a bicycle passed me, he was wearing gloves of greyish-blue colour, as two masked demonstrators shown on a photography i had linked in a online discussion-forum did (i picked it up from an online-newspaper, because it seemed they were doing an exercise while throwing, moving their arms exactly the same, the one behind made really a shadow of the one in front).
The next time i was outside i passed an orderly dressed man who said "just beat him/them up" ("einfach in die frsse hauen") into his cellphone. Well-kept haircut, orderly short-sleeved shirt.
When i was at a petrol-station at nigth, a guy wearing a new black t-shirt with a big white star on it passed.
He looked athletically, hair and clothing well-kept.
When i passed the near bank an athletically all black-dressed leftie entered, antifa.
6 of them within 3h, with companions about twice this.

In the morning of the 6th i passed a guy dressed in black, autonom-style, who walked in a conspicious consistend shuffling way, cool. He had his hood on, beneath a peaked cap, all black, looked new.
When i was outside at noon i passed a sniffer near home, a postman walking towards his bus.
At the afternoon i passed a sniffer at the near park. He was sitting on a bank, a gaunt man, black sunglasses, dressed worn black clothing, pale whtish peaked cap, his yellow old steel bicycle leaned against the bank.
He had a liter of juice in his hand, watched me, waiting till i passed to make his noise. He looked like someone who was experienced powdering his nose.
And later when i had left the near supermarket a sniffer passed, a woman, with her child, both on bicycles.
4 (6) within nearly 3h.

When i was on my way to the near baker in the morning of the 7th i passed two sniffers. The first was a blonde man, looked like a surfer. The second was one of three workers( about where the postman was day before), unloading a car, he repeated the discrete noise.
I took a trip to the eastside with my bicycle, on my way back i wanted to drink a coffee at the pedestrian zone at the beach.
When i entered an icecream-cafe two soldiers, wearing camouflage uniforms and brigth red berets passed me.
Inside there were two persons sitting at a desk, especially the one big style. He taunted me " boy( junge), your hair is too long. Reeeally short ". He sounded drunk. I ignored him. The coffe would be 2,20€ there, too expensive, i could buy somewhere else. Short time later i passed a group of brigth red berets, walking in the direction of the previous.
The leader, a greyhaired man with moustache, signalized me that i would get too close, to ensure i knew that he wouldn't step to the side. They were walking in formation, they were on duty, the authority was with them.
Could have been military police (Feldjäger), who had to catch a drunken soldier. When they need that many for one the drunk would usually be an elite soldier.
It would make a funny coincidence, because it has just been reported that military police supported regular police, watching the streets bacause of g8. Wich was against the law.
Later when i passed some people sitting at a beach a younger woman loudly taunted "there he is ! He did sooo much for us !".
When i was outside in the evening a man came towards me, he had a darker complexion, was wearing saturated red( darker than the berets) upper cothing and black pants. While he looked into my eyes he sweept along his nose with his finger, then, continuing this move, gripped his upper lip between finger and thumb and stretched it, still looking into my eyes.
Without companions 6 of them( at all, including soldiers 20 or so), within than 6-7h.

On the 8th a nosetoucher at the park, a dark black man on a bicycle. Later in the park a discrete sniffer, a jogging girl, a young teenager dressed in black jogging clothing.
When i was outside at the afternoon at the near market/parking place i passed a man who was standing on the pavement, as if he would be officiallly there for lookout. He had darker complexion, tattooed lower arms, looked like lag.
Not much further there was an overweigthed rocker, "germany"(in english) printed with white letters on his black t-shirt, standing in front of an old woman, dressed with orange upper clothing. He was holding a red rosary in his hand, presenting it to her, close to her face.
The next time i was outside i passed someone dressed adequate to the rocker (no "gemany", just colours:dirty punky style), he was wearing earphones. Next of them was an orderly dressed sniffer, an athletic man, maybe 20 years, white newish looking white sweatshirt. He had something in his hand, when i passed him he made a clicking sound with it.
4 (10) within 4h or so.

Today on my way to the market i passed a sniffer, an older couple on bicycles, wearing spick&span white shirts, she did the noise, he looked at me. Near the market i passed an older gaunt man, dressed with a saturated basic-blue t-shirt, short shorts, he talked to himself "egypt, lebabon, israel, worldwar, that's what it is about", and then "you, worldwar".
On my way back before i turned in the street here an athletic man in his 20ies passed me. When he was next to me he touched his face and, as if this was a signal to himself or already part of it, leaned his upper body forward and started to run, smooth and consistent silent movement, keeping his sligthly cowering posture. He was wearing a red t-shirt, of the same saturation as the blue one of the old man before, and black shorts, maybe same as the old man.
Up to now three of them within 40min.

The situation with the neighbour in the flat above me is less intense in the last weeks than it was the most time. But still there.
