Halifax Anti Free Trade Protest

[AccessSmitty]

2:00 come on black bloc, u can fight non-democratic proposals but please dont hurt Bud the Spud! There fries are fkn awesome!

[AFROMANFAN]

Why exactly can you hear the Needham Hill's old bell-chime in the background when that woman was standing outside the WTC.... Lol...

[warrensavage]

got nothing to do with free trade, its only losers who start trouble

[SkInHoUnD]

Bummer, I guess no one told the Black Bloc that Atlantica is just a fucking IDEA, and NOT a seriously acknowledged economic ideal.

Which is odd because of the staggering brainpower these protesters possess. Collectively they may have the intellect of a 3rd grader with downs syndrome, which is monumental compared to most "i need something to protest" hippies.

Other proposed "ideas" are a trans Atlantic tunnel, an elevator to the moon, and off planet landfills. These "ideas" are imminent.

[SkInHoUnD]

Look these up, they are genuine proposals, and about as likely as an Atlantica economic integration.

But alas, no one informed the Black Bloc, and as a result they got their asses kicked by police protesting something no one really gave a fuck about in the first place.

Shitty way to go.

Next time folks, protest something relevant like diet coke or something.

Maybe then you wont looks like a bunch of uneducated fuck tards.

Free trade:

When a capitalist nation steals resources and calls them imports.

[brianah2201]

you people should look up the way workers at a free trade zone are treated.. there is little information available online but I have heard a speaker directly from a free trade zone.. they work 6am to 10pm and are paid no extra for overtime - they often deal with toxic products that ruin their health, and make about 200 dollars a month to pay for a large familes quite often.. know your subject before you wish death upon people who are standing up for what's right

[alf2mill]

does anyone have any information on a protest on september 22 again the north america union/NWO

if so let me know!

[Kingswat]

anarchist group, ahaha that's a good one. Just because your mad at your parents for getting you to clean your room doesn't mean your an anarchist. The police would have been better off shooting you all where you stood, then you could have admitted to doing something productive in your worthless lives.

[hxcpunkx]

and this must be coming from a rich kid who ask their lil richie mommy and daddy for money. wat the hell do you know about anarchy....just shut up. ans anarchist groups are everywhere. staying in your lil richie house, of course you would never know

[Kingswat]

I deal with people like you all the time, why not go to the commons and stab some elderly woman like your good at.

[hxcpunkx]

what dose that have to do with it?

[fuckedsociety]

umm just a question not critisicm

hanve you done anything with your life that benefits anybody that actually needs help

at least these people were trying to help people not themselves

free trade benefits them but forces others into poverty

almost an equivelent to slave labor

[Stiyl10]

Those idiots have no clue what is going on....free trade had issues for Atlantic Canada? Sure, makes them more revenue in the end. Any excuse for a hand full of idiots to cause problems and then blame the police and the government when they try to maintain control.

Media attention? Sure, it displays how stupid some of these people are.

[baddogtoo]

These little 'protesters' are a bunch of spoiled little babies. They are cowards who have only the intent to smash things - hence the masks. Tey dodn't even understand the issues.

[brightangel23]

You people who have responded have no freaking heart. Behind those mask, they are people. ALot of people i know got hurt. u people have such small minds. oh and what the free trade would mean would make our harbour turn into a ship highway and our roads go to garbage.

[thefunkydiabetic]

the cops should have crushed these hippies' skulls

[TimothyRed1990]

I cant believe anyone would be AGAINST free trade! There are many people in other countries who are not as fortunate as you are, and want to work, compete evenly with the US and Canada. These people will starve to death, so you can keep your precious job. go back to school! get your MCSE!

[marmaloon]

You Anarchist kiddies are not in my clan and never will be. This sums up my feelings about your clan: I don' give a fuck, an I don' give fuck, I don' give fuck an I don' give fuck!

[rnepinak]

Fucking idiots, these morons are anti everything. You can give these unbathed pigs, what they want and they would still protest. I cant wait for another campus shooting, that is the only way to get rid of these anti development morons. And where are the rubber bullets, shit loads of tear gas, dogs and riot cops, that is how you beat these fuckers down. And shoving a cop, last I heard thats assaulting a peace officer.

[rjw25]

lol bikecops

[LustxFilledxEyesx13]

They wear masks because masked men get media attention. We wouldnt be having this argument had they not wore masks and got violent, because it wouldnt have even been covered by the media. Protests in NY on sept 11 reached almost 500000 people but not a peep was made by the media. Nothing.

Brave young men putting thier personal freedoms to the back to fight for your Canada because you wont. Show them some respect.

[easygoing52]

the protesters breaking windowns asnd doing other things is not standing up for anything, I was on the side lines and watched it all unfold, the Police were in their rights to act like they did more then I can say for those assholes protesters.

[raultalbot7]

The only good anarchists are those in jail. They only come to these protests to fight and the police are happy to oblige.

[marmaloon]

Stinking human shitlets, there's a lot of head smashing to be done.

[Lrn2spellpeeps]

To the protester...do you realize that the police are there to make sure no one gets injured and property doesn't get damaged. There not there because they disagree with your cause and want to fight you and get assualted by you!! Get a fkn job or a hobby!!

[sloyvenhaven]

Fuck YOU!! These protestors are more Canadian than you will EVER be! They are standing up to things that ass-heads like you don't even know exist. Ever heard of the SPP? It spells the end of Canada you moron. Just keep bowing to the cops you idiot. Worry about the PROTEST, not the actual ISSUES that make the PEOPLE PROTEST IN THE FIRST PLACE! Take you head out of your ass or move to China with the rest of the commie slaves!

[alf2mill]

are you from halifax..

I need to know if there will be a protest on the sept 22 against north american union .. and nwo

that day there will be world wide protest

[easygoing52]

The ganng in black and masked were out for trouble from the start, i was there to watch it all un fold;

[Eabhathekiwi]

The police do this even when there are laws against it. Masks promote anonymity and egalitarianism. Instead of a "leader" yelling instructions to a protest group via a megaphone, those in the bloc make decisions among themselves. They also protect the identities of those who want to engage in illegal acts and escape to fight another day.

Next time do your own google search on "Why does the black bloc wear masks" and save us all your distractions from the more serious issues.

[Eabhathekiwi]

You people who are so hung up on masks, what's your problem? I think you're missing the point and getting wrapped up in symbols. Masks are a tactic.

Infoshop-dot-org Black Blocs for Dummies - FAQ

Why do black bloc members wear masks?

Anarchists using the black bloc tactic wear masks for many reasons. The main one is the fact that the police videotape activists for their "Red" files.

[easygoing52]

why is the guy on this video that being interview got his face covered, Don't blame the halifax police for wht the protesters cause, i was there on hand seen it all.

[sloyvenhaven]

The police are to be blamed because they are defending a group of people that are trying to destroy Canada's infrastructure. And they will probably succeed too because of citizens like you with your heads up your asses who would rather talk about what protestors DO than look into what they are protesting AGAINST!

[easygoing52]

portesters was masked, cowards, have right to protest.not what took place after, Police my hat goes off to you guys for job well done, David Brush get a real job.

[sloyvenhaven]

You don't know what you are talking about. The protestors wear masks because they don't want their faces in a databse or on a no fly list for protesting. What are police when THEY wear masks? Heroes right? You are brainless. This spp thing spells the end of Canada as we know. Why don't you actually look into what they are protesting?

[easygoing52]

why are you prosters masked. you had a rights to brow test but not what took place after, David Brush, you are so childish when you say it's the only way to make a point to break windows and fight with police, I seen you on Fiday, running not hepling your men at all, you are a coward.

[sloyvenhaven]

They wear masks because they don't want to be put into a database for protesting. Have you heard of a no fly list? Maybe they didn't want to get sprayed in the face with pepper spray.
