One Riot Cop Per Protester at G8 Meeting
June 6th, 2007Via: Guardian:
A multinational coalition of protesters will today begin their bid to physically prevent world leaders from gathering at the G8 summit despite widespread criticism of violent tactics during growing demonstrations in Germany.
Water cannons, riot vans and 16,000 police officers – one per protester – last night fanned out around the Baltic resort of Heiligendamm to end the protests.
More than 1,000 people were injured on Saturday in Rostock, the nearest city, in some of the most violent protests seen in postwar Germany. The authorities are desperate to avoid a repeat of the violence that marred the 2001 G8 in Genoa, where a student was shot dead by police.

There is an obvious lesson to be learned here. If it takes so many storm troopers to “defend” the statists of the G8 then its clearly an unholy sham. But, of course, we already knew that. Only a compliant media with its ignorant boot-licking audience continue to perpetuate the delusional notion that these “leaders” are doing some grand thing for the little people. As if.
this won’t end well, but we will not likely hear of it until after the g8 breaks and the lights are out. “several unidentified people discovered XXXXXX and hospitalized were determined to be protestors with last weeks g8 conference”.
cynical? me? noooooooo……… =P
EAT $h!t AND DIE
Watch this amazing 2 minute video of former US soldiers reenacting life on Baghdad streets for the double latte beach-goers of Santa Monica.
They seem *really* interested in what happens in the world and who dies to defend their ‘freedom’ to consume $h!t.
