Rubbed Out Around the Corner

Living in Berlin for a couple of years back in the day, I learned a good bit of the German language. Sadly, it's faded over the years, but one of my favorite expressions was um die Ecke bringen. It means to get rid of someone, as in to rub them out (like a cigarette) as we might say in English. The expression has a certain Cold War vibe, and may be coming back into relevance, who knows for sure what lies around the corner?

Tasting notes: Leica R9, 35 mm Summicron (version 2), Lomography Berlin 400, Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta.
