Police reports 300 injured in G8 clashes

The police were attacked, according to the police. Funny how they're always the ones attacked, even though they have the shields, armor, clubs, rubber bullets, water cannons, and tear gas. Never been in a demonstration where the demonstrators attacked the police, but I've been in a few where the police attacked the demonstration.

Speaking of which, the city of Ft. Lauderdale was successfully sued for attempting to use illegal measures to prevent demonstrations at the OAS meeting two years back (you may remember my thread where I was accosted by the police and interrogated for the crime of wearing black). Our group, the Broward AntiWar Coalition is among several groups getting some money: $1,600. Not a lot, but it will help fund some activities.

Meanwhile, the city of Miami and the MPD are in deep doo doo in the lawsuit against the excessive police violence during the FTAA rallies.

According to attac too.

According to our papers as well. I guess the fascist media has once again spun the truth and the peace loving equality soldiers with black hoods and masks were there to just have a peaceful demo.

Crack their heads open adn kill their leaders. Now.

The sad thing about this story is that the hoolies moved the focus onto rioting and injuries and away from the unconscionably way globalization is being implimented.

If I were a greedy, self-centered capitalist whose only interest is maximizing short-term profits and passing the costs onto society, I'd love those guys.

Have football hooligans moved into the communist fighting squads now that banning orders have been put around?

They should have just poison gassed the protesters. Then it would have been a meeting to remember plus we'd have fewer whiny idiots blathering nonsense.

Whiny is probably not exactly the way to describe the black block.
But I take you'd like to see the peacful protesters gassed (for being whiny)...

Some - most are still on the fascist side of the idiot line though.

In Copenhagen what happened there was at least a direct emotional response to a determined provocation aimed at the left community. What happened now was just a riot for the purpose of rioting.

Lol at che, it is very common for these leftists anti globalization guys to destroy shops, not only of McDonals or citibank and that kind (which for them represents yankee imperialism), but also of common people, they always leave a trail of destruction and others injured, molotov bombs all that stuff.

Y'see, this is teh True Evil of these rioters. No one is discussing the shortcomings of the way globalization is being implimented, how it's leading to pollution and oppression of working people. Instead, they're talking about these @holes calling them anti-globalization guys and tarnishing the entire movement.

If I were an evil greedy monopolist, I would hire those guys...

Nothing harms the anti-globalist cause more than those guys....
