So the official march at the opening of the summit has been cancelled by police.  Itll ruffle feathers but they’re right to.  The pathetic displays of fight starters and troublemakers - sorry, anarchists, sorry, hard-line protesters, sorry, twats.  There have already been outcries of police brutality. How dare they react with force to having concrete blocks and bottles thrown at them! How dare they defend themselves and have such nerve as to want to quell those that want nothing more than to burn riot vans and hurt workers who don’t have the options to work in places other than burger king.

I cannot truly convey my disgust at these anarchist fools.  I loathe capitalism, I hate the fact that we cannot survive without it and despise money for the fact it is money that owns us no matter what we may think.  There may be some question as to whether the peaceful protesters can do anything.  But there is no question that the anarchists are ruining it for everyone.  Many, many of this extreme minority simply want somewhere to vent their human frustrations and aggression.  I don’t like burger king; in fact anyone that knows me knows my views on fast food chains - but what point is there to destroy outlets?  It won’t stop them.  The corporations and bastards that run the companies are the ones that need to be faced.  If you wreck an outlet all you’re going to do is put the people that work there out of pocket for a day - people who may not have the ability to work elsewhere.

Protesters have done wonderful things, attacking police vans simply to get a reaction so they can claim heavy handed tactics, other inspiring actions for the good of the world included wrecking smashing residents cars and of course they’re so dedicated, so unafraid to show authority how much their cause means to them they have to cover their faces like cowards/terrorists/ninjas - no not ninjas, they have honour, and subtlety.

And as I write this I have just read reports that the police have reversed this ruling and allowing the march.  Much as my heart is glad for those who made the march with the intentions of making a difference peacefully, marching to show their support for change in poverty stricken countries without the need to destroy places people work and starting fights with policemen.

Sadly, my head tells me that for all those many people who will be on that march with peace in mind will be looked over by the inevitable morons that will taunt and attack the police, until the police chose to try and detain them, violence will ensue, non-violent protesters will get hurt, and ultimately peace protesters will play right into the anarchists hands as all blame will come down on the police.  Its a shame but much as i want this march to go ahead, I think its too risky for peoples safety.  Buildings will be damaged, children will get hurt, and the police will be the ones who will be accused, they didn’t deal with the vastly outnumbering and organized anarchists, and we are all ready to accuse the police for not being able to deal with that which they could not possibly deal with totally.  They could only make a small difference for the good of the larger majority and get no acknowledgement or satisfaction at what good they have done for others... or am I now talking about the peace protests.
