No. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone gives a shit. Rightwing, leftwing, all they give a shit about is their own selfish blatherings.
As for G20…
It’s been all over the news that a group of anarchists (remember our dear friend, SmashTheState*?) engaged in a violent demonstration, consisting of breaking windows, overturning trashcans, throwing bottles and rocks, IIRC.
Earlier on the news today, several other protestors (the peaceful ones) were harmed by said “anarchists”, when they were throwing rocks. Last week, there was some major vandalism done to Pittsburgh police cars.
Protesters clash with police throughout day, night Yes, throwing a bicycle at the cops is the right way to go about it!
Comparing oneself to the Tiananmen Square protestors?
Fortunately, however, the majority were peaceful
Look: I am not saying, “Oh, those evil liberals, how DARE they go and disrespect the police!” But, this is my home. And it really, REALLY pisses me off to see people destroying other’s property – they’re not getting their message out. They’re hurting the people working for a living, and costing them a lot of time and money, just to be jackasses. And in the end, quite a few DID get hurt in the cross fire. We’re just lucky it wasn’t as bad as London.
For those who do live here, have you seen this? (I signed myself). I’m NOT trying to push a campaign, mods, I just found it relevant.
Leftwing, rightwing, fuck it. I don’t care WHAT you’re protesting. I don’t care if it’s “tastes great!” “Less filling!” Just don’t be an asshole about it!
*I only bring him up because these peoples’ actions remind me of the HIS descriptions of what HE and his so-called “Pandhandler’s Union” used to do.
