  • loool 00:46

  • a bunch of ninjas lol

  • yeah, fuck newspaper boxes

  • Black Bloc girls are sexy.

  • These mothafuckas are crazy as hell.!

  • Silly protesters.. those are not bobsleds.. there isn't even any snow..

  • swedish?

  • How would these protesters feel if there was a special event coming to their home city or town that they can't wait to see and soon a group of people will protest against it.

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck the police.  They're violent, senseless brutes!!!

  • I am glad that these bums only surfaced before the games took place.

    The city got smart. They reserved a lot around East Hastings and said they need it for the closing ceremonies. The protestors, in proetest made this a tent city.

    Undercover cops went around and made sure there was alot of easily obtainable crystal meth so these drug addicts had no reason to leave. We had the best Olympic games in history thanks to the Vancouver police. Good job guys.

  • Defacing public property is a CRIME regardless.

  • can someone verify what streets these were on?

  • God I love to see that the people have some power down there in Canada. here in the usa we just get pushed around all of the time.

    Keep up guys best of wishes from the usa!

  • Also, a nation that has become too scared shitless to practice civil disobedience is not a nation i'd like to live in.

  • PATHETIC! ... They should have had this done on a Wed. All these losers would be in the welfare lineup. They ended up screwing it up for themselves anyhow with their own stupidity ...

  • so people that can see whats going on are on welfare?.....relly

    you should just stick to being glued to your tv watching sports and american idol ,

  • Yea for sure!... Better than giving these losers attention. American Idol sucks though.

  • stupid hippies

  • if you dont have a clue of what they protest about, or you refer to the seemingly unrelated destruction, then i am not sure they are counting on you backing their cause...but who knows, keep on informing yourself.

  • So what exactly was this protest about?? Did someone forget to inform the masses what this was for?? Look around and the only info you find is that there was a protest at the Olympics. Great job guys, I'm sure we will back your cause, if we knew what it was!!

  • haha the youtube agents really don't like this post... hahaha! keep marking it as spam and i will just repost :P

  • Looks like Vancouver police have not reached the SS-Gestapo level of the US "police" forces. US "police" will be mostly Serb and Kosovo Albanian war criminals hired by the Republican party / Bush's "district attorneys". The conservatives in the US seem to think continuing to vote for murderers is the way to go even after close to ten years of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in other countries. Good thing the senate demands Obama continue murdering. Nice Senators. Good choices.

  • MR SHINY SHOES< YOU ARE A SISY!

  • lol, You are observant.

    That axium is becoming so clear. lol.

    msky

  • omfg those r such fags

  • fuck the olympics . Rich snobs making the poor taxpayers pay so they can play

  • omg! i hope ALL of them were arrested! they look so fuking dumb!

  • The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military, and media. Each conference is held under intense security and secrecy.

  • Dumbass protester fucks. This has nothing to do with protesting. It's just ridiculous idiocy.

  • Just a bunch of cowards and criminals hiding behind masks.... These protesters are barley better than pedophiles .

  • the masks and black clothing are to show solidarity and to avoid the cameras of the authorities. the police are the real criminals here.

  • these protesters are losers

    let's be big pussies and hide behind masks

  • Investigate the backgrounds of the ones dressed in all black. Find out whos payroll they are on.

    They get PAID to do this shit.

    Do your research people.

  • @3DWHIZZ

    just telling it like i see it...

    Yep, that's right...provacateurs, so OBVIOUS!

  • How stupid. Do they not know that their tax dollars will now go to fix everything they ruined?

    Such complete insanity!

  • nice one - fight the state, smash capitalism everywhere.

    a las barricadas!

  • For a anti-Poverty committee they seem to be doing a lot of damage that will be costing the city and individuals a lot of money to fix or replace. Do they actually think before they ever do anything?

  • I hope you don't mind that I used your post,kotj101.

    It's just I feel it's important enough to keep it at the top of the page.

  • oh its not mine, but my intention was also the same ;)

  • Protestors make me sick. Does no one realize that instead of "complaining" they could be out doing what's good? For poverty they could fundraise and stuff. And does no one get the Olympic flame is the biggest symbol of peace ? Yeah we have another 20 years until the olypmics are paid off but seriously, they should grow up.

  • Fundraise? Well, first off, most people who take part in these actions run, or take part in a variety of projects that aren't aggressive. Secondly, as should be evident, people who take part in these also want revolution, and the abolition of state and capitalism. Hence, fundraising may alleviate some predicaments but it won't destroy the structural arrangements or the social relations formed from capital and state societies. The Olympic flame represents the spectacle of a statist world.

  • These fucking morons need to act their age, show some respect for the country they are living in and realize that to get yourself out of poverty you have to work hard! I didn't get to $34.00/hour flipping burgers at McDonalds, I stayed in school and got a degree and got a good paying job. If these fucking morons made some mistakes because of their stupidity then that is their fault. They have nobody to be mad at besides themselves.

  • Anarchists again?

  • black blocks with MAYBE 1 or 2 agent provoc.

  • What idiots.

  • Hah Pointless, they won't gain any new supporters doing this.

    Why the fuck would anyone support a bunch of hostile meat-heads, dressed like militants, violently trashing the city you live in.

    You can't garner the support of the public by terrorizing them you dumb fucking chimps

    I bet they thought they were bad ass rebels though.

    Losers

  • anti olympics protests... bashing windows etc.. ???/ i don't get it...

  • educate yourself...read my posts below

  • oh its not that im not educated. It just seems to be a shameful waste.

    Maybe drawing attention to our corrupt monetary system, 911, corrupt government and NAFTA which are the root of the problems we face as a people.

    not sure if i'd call this cointelpro... more like a bunch of uneducated, passionate people with a bunch of misplaced ideals. Of course doing more harm than good, but they are unaware. This is typical of alot of activism these days.

  • of course it only takes a few saboteurs to ruin the legitimacy of the protest, just to clairify that i understand what you are talking about ;)

  • Right on bro...let's label them for what they are....as we know they are'nt protesterss.

  • well they are protesters, its just that they are misguided.

  • No,they are not protesters. They are agent provocateurs (the ones in all black). They get PAID to do this crap. You'll see them at all high level events where there is protest against government. They always wear the same clothing and always do the same kind of crap.

    You are educated but it seems you need to learn more about this sorta thing

    I'm with you...not against you : )

    peace

  • being straight up government paid provocature's is quite a statement to make tho.. Like there was quite a few of em.. And i have a hard time believeing they are all paid. If you have some sort of proof of this, I would like to see it.

  • Proof as in documents?..No, but I have seen this shit sooo many times before. The government just spent $9,000,000,000.oo on the Olypics. I'm pretty sure they could afford a few thousand more.After all, there is no transparency in the Olympic budget. Not to mention the fact that Corporations would gladly support such a group.

  • sure they could afford it. sure special interests will use this to their advantage. But if you " have seen this shit so many times before". Could you provide some good examples. Not just for my piece of mind, but just asmuch for the other people that will look into what you are saying. You have to admit it could genuinely be their own actions as a result of their frustration. When large groups of people are angry shit happens. I could say "smells like agent provocateurs". where is the substance?

  • here's a few for ya.

  • excellent work! that is the proof of the pudding right there! Sry to ask you to put the work in for everyone, everyone should do their own work. i am proud to have had the pleasure of talking with you. peace in wisdom my friend.

  • Thanks Buddy....just doin my part.

    "Peace in wisdom".....so true.

  • sry just to be clear. In my own opinion its does " smell like agent provocateurs" . I do not deny this, as it is a disgraceful demonstration. That is speculation tho.

    Certainly i would like to see conduct of a higher moral standing, but we should be angry aswell, even angry enough to tip a few news paper dispenser's. But during the olympics? Some of the more fundamental issues would warrant such aggression, during such an event. I would hope these aren't real protestors, cause they're idiots

  • Agreed..absolutely

    On the other hand, I completely understand why people legitimately protest the Olympics...peacefully.

  • oh yeah don't let "mrshinyshoes" flame bait you. He's obviously of subpar intellect. just a waste of time.

  • LOL...he tries soo hard to be a good little shillboy...but he really just makes a mess of it. H'e got a long way to go.The new hires usually get started here on YouTube. I know a thing or two about how they work.

  • 3D,

    MrsHinyShoes is getting even more upset.

    Sad old guy.

    But I digress, I'm not much younger,

    lol.

    Peace

  • I obviously got all 3 of you like puppets on a string! Lol. Calm down now mskydolphin!  Calm down! Heh-heh.

  • agreed.

  • It's just wonderful how I got the 3 of you going! I can clearly see that I have succeeded! No soothing words from kotj101 can change that. Yes!!

  • bunch of idiots will find ways to let out their sorry anger on someone else properties and destroy instead of create. Instead of pointing anger at the Olympics, they decided to destroy their city...lame! They think acting violent can bridge human spirit? RETARDS!

  • Those protestors need to get their heads bashed in.

  • Whats the conection to the Counter Intelligence Program? Other than these people are counter intelligent.

  • Peaceful protest is legal right now. If enough of that sort of shit happens at high end events, protesting may soon be declared illegal. Part of a plan to basically introduce (slowly) the need for a "police state" (put bluntly).

    COINTELPRO= Covert Intelligence Program.

    These same types of guys are seen at all high end events where there will be protesters, wearing the same clothing and doing the same kind of things they did here.

  • agent provocateurs

  • Exactly.

  • Google "COINTELPRO"

  • these guys are idiots...why are they even protesting. this is why the government busts up protests.

    these morons give protesting a bad name. retards.

  • Instead of marching, and distroying private property those protestors could have canvased and raised a lot of money themselfs to help thier cause.

    Before you act, think. Idiots.

  • These jerks dressed in black are cointelpro hires, sent there specifically to make the protesters all look bad. Notice that the police did nothing even after these jerks had clearly broken the law.

  • they did'nt arrest any of the jerks wearing bellaclavas. they harassed other protesters that were not part of "that" gang of jerks.

  • whyyyy, whyyy the mail boxes, what diddd they everrr doo to youuuu..

  • they have a right to protest... it'd be un-canadian if we tried to stop them...but its stupid they're destroying ppl's property. what did poor old 24 news do to anyone... that paper is free too -__- what a bunch fo losers

  • haha what a bunch of cowards. Covering their faces. They must really believe in their idiotic cause.

    These protesters are hardly better than pedophiles.

  • stupid ass hippies

  • those biatches are hardcore watch out!

  • @ StudentOfQueens - have been to several events including the foreign Gothenburg, Copenhagen I regret not being in Vancouver. There have also been in my town and I protested. Maybe you do not realize the debt, homeless people, and what it means for the post-Olympic classes weak. But do you care if people do not have the house, you care that the windows of multinational and sport are not destroyed. Boycott the Olympics

    And the law I am an anarchist state, and my first enemy

    (A)

  • Violent behaviour, whether or not it's against people will not make anyone give a rats ass about your cause. There are much more effective ways to get your message across.

    By the way, I ran into a protester who gave me a sheet of paper claiming RBC is the devil, and that the olympics aren't as green as they say.

    This sheet of paper wasn't printed on recycled paper. Hypocrisy at it's finest. Go Canada Go. ;)

  • fucking chugs go home nobody cares about what u have to say

    olympics are here and your not gonna make them stop.... enjoy it, its a once in a life time event..

  • they smashed the windows of the bay? why not aritzia? or holts... not that far away from the bay... and canada post mail box??

    tarnishing valuable messages and concerns in anti-olympic movements...

    generally people aren't happy about the olympics being here because of the economic and social harm it is/ will cause....

    piety acts of vandalism don't properly bring attention to the deficients (arts, education, etc) that will be result of the olympics being hosted in Greater Vancouver

  • Adults acting like children who want to be treated like adults...all of those masked vandals are a waste of space and taxpayer money. Leaches!

  • There are worst clips of those rats chasing down random civilians and pushing around tourists.

  • This makes the legitimate protesters look bad.

    These assholes blew a chance to document how the funding cuts to healthcare, schools, seniors, woman & children abuse centers, legal aid, social housing, help for mentall illness, crisis lines, etc, etc, have hurt the poor & most vunerable people in this province to justify balancing a budget while wasting a obscene amount of money on the olympics. I support the olympics, I just feel it could have been done much cheaper. Remember pride is free.

  • @dumfree254 lol i think you said it a lot better than i did.. thats what i was going for

  • retards

  • Show your faces next time. You ask that your government stand behind its words, then stand behind your own. You ask that your government be responsible for its action but you refuse to be accountable for your own. Next time show your face. But you're afraid. You do illegal things and so you must hide from the law.

  • I agree.. this is stupid.

    I think what they're protesting for is valid (why waste so much money on impressing for the olympics when it could be used in education/healthcare/thehomele­ss but they look like idiots doing this. If they had a peaceful protest it would be so much nicer and would actually make more sense considering what theyre doing it for..

  • I wish they'd opened up the hoses on these people. Also the dogs. Rubber bullets wouldn't have been amiss either. You have no right to trash stuff like that.

  • I respect your right to oppose. I will defend to the death your right to say it. But show your faces motherfuckers! Spineless assholes who'll suck the fat of the profits through social assistance when the games are finished.

  • The cops should just go on a huge beat down to shut those annoying fuckers up, like seriously there bitching about money there costing the city more money by breaking shit

  • Well lookie here it's IDIOTS ON PARADE.

  • Their actions contradict their needs, and being this way wont get you anywhere but a dark cell for a few nights.... honestly if people give themselves the right to crash things when they need more money or development from the government,.... most countries of the world would turn to dust then... they are acting like a "spoilt brat" in a sence... peaceful protesting gets--- messages heard, riots like this get ---punished.

  • But riddle me this; if one does not want development, and one does not want the existence of government does one protest said government out of existence? The actions do not contradict the needs; rather the actions are a small step towards furthering a situation and an understanding.

  • You are both (for misunderstanding) wrong.

    Did you not notice that it was only the ones dressed in black that were being destructive?? They were being fucking PAID to be destructive.

    Google "agent saboteur" and "agent provocateur"

    Educate yourself...then educate others.

  • You are totally wrong. They weren't being paid by anyone. Anybody who takes an aggressive stance is not an "agent." They are wearing black for a variety of reasons and you should educate yourself about that. For one, a lot of this stems, arguably from Situationist theory, and it began in Germany.

  • wake up man.

  • these "hippies" are not peaceful in any way, sure cause more damage which costs your own city money which you'll have to pay for. Seriously these people should be shot.

  • Define hippie....you moron.

  • Yeah... go to hell.

    You can say what you like, but when you start to trash stuff just for the hell of it, you can go to hell. I wish I'd been there... to beat the shit out of those people. Just for the hell of it, you know? Because I'm against what they're protesting against, and therefore I can throw all decorum out the window, right? Is that what you're in favour of?

    No, you just hide behind the law when it suits you and bitch about it when you can't be bothered to contribute.

  • Any excuse to call trouble!!!

  • Lol, wait until the Summer games.....Brazil.....Nuff said!

  • can someone explain what these people are mad about? I don't get it. . .

    any reason to cause shit I guess

  • aww look at all the upper class white kids ..

    send em to ghettos in Detroit

  • What are they mad about now?. Did someone cancel there welfare checks ? Quit your god damn complaining and senseless violence and do something productive....... This is Canada the greatest country in the world, if you dont like it here get the fuck out and cry somewhere else.

  • "This is Canada the greatest country in the world, if you dont like it here get the fuck out..."

    Canada the greatest country? If we throw Canada out of America then what what you do? lol

  • then you would have to learn how to speak proper english.

  • Throw Canada out of America? Get over yourself you self absorbed prick.

  • Canada is not part of the US, so how do you intend to throw it out.

    You're just some snotty nosed little punk ass kid.

    I was going to try and help you wake up by offering you some education..but based on what i see from your numerous posts, I fear it's just not possible.

    You just cant polish a turd!

  • look at the little cowards, i will only tell you this, a group of the good people is going to infiltrate your A.P.C. and bullshit organizations like warrior publications, march along side you until you make that mistake, then we will STOP, STOMP, ARREST YOU, we are tired of your bullshit, your crying, and supporting your welfare asses, if you have brains listen to me good, stop listening to the leaders of these groups, they are the loosers of society trying to find an easy way out, so learn

  • FUCKING LITTLE PUKES, HIDING BEHIND MASKS. I would love to beat the fucking shit out of each and everyone of you pieces of shit.

  • count me in

  • Boy, those Leftist countries sure know how to raise wholesome sweetheart kids.

  • Yeah. We would be a leftist country but here's the problem with that....we have a CONSERVATIVE government.

  • Plus the fact there's probably quite a few Americans in this mess too. Just sayin'....

  • Bullshit. lol, Liberal Canada -- you cracked me up. Thanks.

  • Hi Mom! Just out trashing my country because Socialist-Democracy makes me SOOOO happy.

    Fuck the conservative Americans! They need to all die. Be home soon. :)

  • Gollygosh, these Socialist-Democrat Euro-Commonwealth countries are so neat! I hope the American Democrats make us just like them! :)))

  • Comment removed

  • See my Faves.

    Peace

  • Freeking leftist dirt bags!

    Break out the water cannons & spray the HELL out of them. Then pepper spray'im

    & lock thier ass's up! Damm Fools!

    If you don't like a sporting event? Don't watch it!

  • Little assholes should be shot.

  • they do have a point that the tax money shounld go towards poverty but come on this doesn't fucking help anyone you littel muther fucking pusy faces insted of buying all black clothes and braking a whole lot of shit buy some desent clothes get a hair cut and go get a job at mcdonaled or something....bottom line make some thing out of your life insted of fucking of every one eles great time...piss off

  • stop taxing the people and business will grow and expand

  • How can you claim to be protesting peacefully when you've left a trail of destruction to property behind you? Innocent people who supposedly had nothing to do were arrested and don't blame the police for that, you protesters are to blame because your too much of a fucking coward by covering your face. If you feel so proud of destroying property, show your fucking face.

  • @headlesschicken

    The protesters in black,are not at all protesters. They are called "Agent saboteurs" and "Agent provocateurs"

    Google it

    Educate yourself, then help educate others.

  • you may also want to take a look at what the legit protesters were saying, they defended the actions of those few so if they're not part of the protesters they why back them up? b/c they probably support those actions, they are just as guilty. And now they are trying to pin the violence on the police because they were carrying guns...HELLO, THEY'RE POLICE. I'D BE MORE WORRIED IF THEY DIDN'T.

  • The police were also well within their right, they and the Olympic security contingent moved in to keep the area around the games secure and if that meant they had to be a bit rough, well the damage they caused didn't help the police rethink what they were doing. The choice was obvious.

  • I don't think the police were rough ENOUGH.

    I've seen this exact type of covert protest many times, and the police are ALWAYS far to easy on the destructivet protesters. In some cases, the destructive ones were discovered to BE cops. To me, that explains their leniency.

    The protesters that defend the destruction are probably, really part of the destructive group.

  • Why aren't the store owners shooting these people?

  • @superdoglick we have gunlaws in Canada unlike the USA.

  • you should be protesting against the enslavement tatics of your government.

  • @superdoglick tell me that after the countless murders in the US today.

  • you are an idiot

  • enslavement tactics...Please indulge me on this....

  • you are correct!

  • @tinram

    Unfortunate,but true : )

  • thank you.

  • Anti-poverty protest aaa? So.. explain me... with the material damage they are causing and police salary checks which have to be paid... how exactly are they helping the poor?

  • i can't express how much i love this protesting shit!!!! this is the best entertainment the games has to offer bar none......

  • fuckin stupid people

  • Troublemakers. This would never happen in China. Those protesting weasels would be killed on the spot, which in my opinion would be a good thing. Too bad they did this here. They'd be scared shitless to do this in China, those stupid good-for-nothing protesters. They should stick to doing what they do best---go fuck their mothers instead---they obviously have too much time on their hands. They just want to show off--"Look at me! Look at me!" Self-serving moronic bastards and bitches.

  • Mrshitthead...you are no better than the morons dressed in black....don't think for a second that many of us don't know what you're up to..scumbag shill.

  • Lol----and you're probably one of those little scumbags in the video!  That's why you have such a kiddyish name. Dumb punk. Lol.

  • Better go back to school punk. It's you who needs to be educated. DUH!! Lol!

  • You really should go shill a thread you're more qualified for....like, weather or not the tooth fairy is real.

  • Gee whizz, I think I hit a nerve with you. Lol. I'm probably right guessing you're under 24 years of age. You are so easily annoyed, which indicates a sign of immaturity. Your Mommy obviously never raised you right, and your Daddy should have spanked you more. :P

  • Your powers of observation are critically limited at best.

    I need not bother with you,as most people i'm sure can see what dealing with here......LOL
