‘A certain troll’…ha-ha!

Not normally in favour of the weird elitism exercised by places such as Berghain, but their refusal to admit him is to be hugely applauded!

With regard to the fireworks, as an exile from the UK, well, I simply do not get it. It is utter madness here. Apparently, it’s a central to east European problem, or so I’ve been told by some friends who originate from some of those said places, but I’ve never experienced anything like it anywhere else in the world. Complete madness, and, it goes without saying, needless!

Ban them!

When people love something, despite a number of dopes/goons/violent types/hooligans, a ban might be a Schritt too far. It's certainly worth a crackdown, a clampdown, and then proceed as necessary.

But how to clamp/crack down without a blanket?

Ha, I read that electric cars gave IC ones a run for their money in early 20C but were banned (in the US) because they were too quiet and might hurt someone. Wonder if it was actually protectionism if the Germans were way ahead in that tech, or whether that was too early for people to bother shipping cars between continents.
