That guy behind car's windshield is Mr Hassan, Egyptian citizen living in Kalisz, Poland with his Polish wife and three children. Hassan has just ended his 2-week strike, he started earlier to protest racism-driven violence towards foreigners in Poland. He's just a honestly living guy, repairing old computers for much less you would call a decent pay. But still, one day him, his wife and children where violently attacked by a few drunken fellows, who would hit the poor man's car with bottles shattering the right arm window as well as outcrying things like "Go away you Arab scum [freely translated]" . Hassan got so much pissed off and freightened for his family, he decided to go on a 2-week strike in front of Kalisz city hall. 

Interesting, how the whole affair ended. The perpetrators have actually called Hassan's wife and asked if they could meet the man and his family to apologize for what they had done. All of them met in Hassan's house, where the Egyptian solemnly forgave all the misdeeds "for I have been also many times mistaken" - he explained. The video footage of evidence was then sent to the Kalisz mayor Pęcherz (pol. - Bladder) to substantiate the whole matter properly settled. Mr Bladder promised to process Hassan's citizenship request application in a speedy manner.

Hassan decided to cease his strike and went back home. But many non-Polish citizens are still feeling intimidated by People who barely know how to respect their own culture, let alone a foreign one.
