Berlin · Politics / Baader-Meinhof Group

The organisation known as the Movement 2 June, which would become allied to the RAF, is named after the anti-Shah protest in Berlin. Participates in the seminal Berlin protest where a young pacifist named Benno Ohnesorg is killed. After the protest goes to the local SDS office and screams hysterically, "this fascist state means to kill us all! Violence is the only way to answer violence!"
