Reykjavík protestors protect the police, put a halt to violent rabble rousers

At approximately 2:00 AM on January 22. 2009, things looked like they were boiling over as a minor group of unruly protesters (amidst the huge group of peaceful ones) started gathering bricks from the sidewalk and throwing them at the riot squad. Fortunately sense reigned supreme, as a crowd of peaceful protesters formed a human shield in front of the police, called for silence and asked for the protest to be kept peaceful.

Mætum öll. Mætum eftir vinnu. Mætum fyrir vinnu

Mótmælum stanslaust þangað til ríkisstjórnin fer frá, stjórn Seðlabankans fer frá, stjórnendur FME fara frá. Og kosningar ákveðnar strax.

Mótmælum dag og nótt þangað til ríkisstjórnin fellur.

Og reisum nýtt lýðveldi.

Mótmælum öll til sigurs. Mótmælum öll fyrir börnin. Mótmælum öll fyrir réttlætið. Mótmælum öll fyrir Ísland.

Stundin er komin.
