In February 2001, Robbie Williams was attacked and thrown off stage in front of thousands of people in Germany

Hi.

In February 2001, Robbie Williams was attacked and thrown off stage in front of thousands of people in Germany.

He was performing at the Stuttgart's Schleyerhalle stadium in Stuttgart, when out of nowhere a man came rushing behind him and pushed him off the stage. A police spokesperson stated:

A 20-year-old man managed to get from the auditorium into the backstage area of the Schleyerhalle at around 10.05pm last night. He got onto the stage while Robbie Williams was singing, ran at him from behind and pushed him in the back. Robbie Williams did not see him coming, as he was concentrating on the song and the audience, and he fell from the stage into the security area, a drop of around 1.60 metres (5ft 3in). A member of the band - the guitarist - tried to seize the attacker and, in the struggle, the attacker too fell into the security area, where he was held by security staff. Robbie Williams climbed back onto the stage and was able to carry on without a break. He was only lightly injured and did not require the attention of a doctor before continuing the concert. The man was arrested and taken to a doctor. He appears to have psychiatric problems. No trace of alcohol or drugs was found and he did not have a weapon.

The man attacked him because he thought he was a clone of Robbie and not the real singer. Here's the video of the incident:

Carolee Schneemann (* 1939), who was awarded the Golden Lion 2017 of the Biennale di Venezia, went down in art history as a pioneer of performance art.

This week marks the 211th anniversary of The German Coast Rebellion.

On January 8, 1811, enslaved men and women from St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James parishes rose up and walked downriver toward New Orleans. They were armed with few rifles, sabers, machetes, fire-hardened oak sticks, or simply with their tools. After killing two of their enslavers and causing considerable damage to the plantations where they were forced to labor, they participants were stopped only two days later after a battle against the local militia backed by Federal troops. The insurrection started on the property of Manuel Andry, then the head of the local militia of St. John parish. The 1811 revolt had several leaders from various origins, some of them born in Africa. The main leader was Charles Deslondes, a Mulatto born on the plantation of Widow Jean-Baptiste Deslondes. The trial of the participants took place from January 13 to January 15. The judgments were rendered without appeal and death sentences were pronounced. The sentenced called for  each of the c...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
