God damn, people in Vancouver are idiots...
Vancouver protest turns violent
Anti-Olympic protesters are clashing with police on the streets of Vancouver on the first full day of the 2010 Winter Games. As tensions escalate, police have taken out what looks like machine guns.
Vancouver Police say a group of more than 200 masked protesters have amassed in the downtown core, kicking and vandalizing cars and businesses. Lions Gate Bridge has been shut down in both directions.
Organizer Harsha Walia says there were several hundred protesters gathered in the downtown and witnesses say the windows of the HBC Olympic superstore were smashed.
Riot police in bright yellow vests moved in to break up the protest, and bicycle police have formed a line across one of the main streets in the downtown, and aerial cameras showed officers arresting some protesters.
The protesters, shouting obscenities and dressed in black, are marching up Georgia Street, pushing over mail boxes and newspaper boxes. At least one woman has been taken away by police.
The protesters appear to have abandoned all pretense of promoting any political agenda. A hooded protester determined to provoke the police fell down. As police moved in to hand cuff him, he pulled out a camera and started taking photos of the police. Police finally mobilized with batons and hard helmets.
A group of around 75 protesters broke off and turned down a side street. But they appeared lost and unsure what to do. Their lead drummer started up again. But the energy appeared to slip away. They began chanting "Our streets" but the chant quickly died down.
A bystander shouted out a comment. Four men in black tuques and black masks jumped on him. Other marchers pulled them off and they continued on their way. No police were around.
A group of 30 are now marching through the West End, after police picked off several stragglers. Some protesters dressed in black are slipping in alley ways and taking off their black clothes, stuffing them into knapsacks.
Representatives of the International Olympic Committee and Vancouver organizers jointly told a news conference they support protest as long as it is not violent.
"Where we draw the line and where I suspect Canadians draw the line is when people get violent," Mark Adams of the IOC told a daily briefing.
"The demonstrations I would characterize as being minor and dealt with properly," Mr. Adams told the briefing.
Renee Smith-Valaade of VANOC said organizers had confidence in current security plans.
Of the response to date, she said: "It has been swift and decisive and done in a way to respect those who would like to protest in a peaceful way.""The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
