200,000 people goes in Genua to protest in peace and non violence against Globalization, for different reasons.
About 1,000 criminals decided to cross the line between protest and riot (and I bet they were there with this in theyr mind
)
17,000 policemen lost control of situation, and start beating
everyone , good and bad, killing a guy, and that was "excess of self defence", i think.
Results:
1 dead, lot of policeman wounded, more protestors (sp?) wounded too, lot of them arrested and the media dancing on the grave.
Just for 1.000 amazinhunks.
this is the summary of the "G8 riots"
Digging more...
In that police jeep was a group of young conscripted "Carabinieri" (military police with dutys of civil police), used to push theyr ego and play with theyr guns (remember here a gun is a rare thing), scared to death.
They were non professional policemen, for the first time in an emergency situation.
Before the riots the Black Idiots were leaved by the police alone and uncontested going around the city, destroing everything for 2 hours, and the police reaction started only when this 1.000 amazinhunks reached the mass the pacifists (someone here see a plan in this).
My guesses?
The entire situation was handled in a bad way, the chiefs of the police have made wrong plans.
And the SOB that caused all this (the Black Block) are untouched, no one of them has been arrested, or even beated, they hide in the big crowd and disappear, while the crowd was beaten.
If you are ever been in a manifestation here in Italy, you'll know, when police charge, become uncontrolled, even if you lay on ground with hands on your head, clearly surrendering, they beat you hard while on ground, no way to escape.
Someone suggested in previous posts to use civil way to protest, petition, information voting different governors, this made me laugh...
here in Italy??
All media in the hands of the economic elite (the same that is in the government), with the exception of a couple of newspaper in the hands of the old communist party (LOL), a big number of politic partys all with the same aim (gain power and stole money), if you try a protest the police come quietly in your house and arrest you for wathever reason.
Be real, the only way to be visible here, is to go in the roads and protest.
But violence?
Riots?
This is a bad way, because you become terrorist and your point will be wrong by default.
The genua facts are the demonstration that more and more stupidity is expanding, both side.
p.s.
As for the lighter, there is a photo taken before that one (less blood on ground) where there is'nt the lighter, BTW this is a rule for our police.
