That being said - I wouldnt mind them using live ammo vs these guys since Im 100% sure its the same guys traveling around the world looking for a fight. I think theyve been trying hard enough and its time for them to give them a beating. as far as I'm concerned, all the security has it coming at an event like this. They put giant goons on the front lines with clubs and riot gear and say "feel free swing the club at anyone who gets within striking distance" They provoke people, and the real trouble makers never get caught. I didn't see anybody in black hoodies get arrested on tv, but I did see protesters getting hit and punched. Useless, all the those cops are useless goons who only aggravate the situation. Hell, I'd torch a cop car too if I was there. | ||

However keep in mind that our dollars pay for the tanks, helicopters and all sorts of goodies that make the manufacturers rich, and all because the upper-level government decides there's a "good reason" to go to war. I think the idea behind the vandalism is flawed, and it's really just a petty crime. It also shifts attention to negative aspects of people instead of the idea that "we the people matter". It's not an economics summit. This isn't WTO or IMF. These are finance people. It's stuff like currency reform and interest rates. | ||

As far as currncy manipulation though, yea these are the guys who win in the inflation war. When inflation happens, the banks win and every one loses. Also 0% interest rate with the goal of indebting the entire nation. | ||

People demonstrate these meetings because the leaders invited are inextricably linked to backwards or unfair policies at home and abroad. Globalization good, exploitation bad.

It's like everyone from every philosophy showed up. Also keep in mind that anarchists, communists, socialists, and all-around pissed off people attend all sorts of events with the intent of upping the ante and trying to steal the spotlight for their cause, despite the presence of many peaceful individuals and groups with very valid complaints. I assure you (from my experience with demonstrations in the USA), the "anarchists" are in a very radical minority, although they are loudest and love intimidating the police. It's also worth mentioning that police are known to incite violence through infiltrators in demonstrations. I was at one march and some guy was like, "hey let's throw stuff at the police" and everyone was like "lol gtfo cop!" and he ran off. | ||

If I saw people was dismantling my city Id figure it was time to act! But everyone is just standing there with their stupid cameras and watching it go on. By the way, If you went out there with a rifle, took a few shots and rand I think you chances of getting away with it should be decent considering everyone is masked and you would dissappear in the masses quite fast? | ||

Fuck, I wish they had used rubber bullets on that crowd. "Do you think it's funny to mock our First Amendment rights? It's in The Constitution!" What does that even mean? "Remember Kent State" Really? | ||

They do that so that if the protesters attack first, then they look bad on whatever little news coverage they were going to receive and can't claim they were "peacefully" demonstrating. Peace activists use civil disobedience techniques and show restraint, anarchists try to get away with as much chaos as possible without getting arrested - both groups typically show up to the same demonstrations... Second, it gives the police an excuse to retaliate and clear things up / make arrests / not just stand there and get ridiculed all day. Police really want to use their clubs. I'm serious, they are dying to crack some skulls. | ||

The mounties have been intimidating leaders and members of anarchist groups in Ontario for several weeks now leading up to this. At their homes, their work places, and even stalking them out when they go grocery shopping and etc. It's kinda lols. | ||

The motivation for the protests is not something that is easily explained in one forum post, especially to a normal person on a gaming forum. Although these are really inflammatory and have some bullshit in them, they capture the spirit and main ideas behind this protest in an entertaining fashion. I highly recommend watching it. starts at 4 minutes 20 seconds | ||
