It seems that a vehicle goes up in flames almost nightly in the German capital, often at the hands of left-wing radicals. But the attack on early Saturday morning was not arson. Nor was the perpetrator a leftist. Instead, police found British rocker Pete Doherty on the scene — and took him into custody for throwing his beer glass at a car and breaking out its back window."

Met with boos and badfingers, Doherty "moved on to the next song but his manager pulled him off after his fourth song. 'After that, we could no longer guarantee his safety,'" said the program manager for the station broadcasting the show. I guess it's not exactly irony that singing a song associated with genocide might provoke violent rage in those who condemn it, but it's something... something there ought to be a German word for.
