I want to see what shoes some of the "Anarchists" wear.

@ inoculated Of course they were. That's peanuts, like even less than a fraction of a peanut, to the WTO. They OWN EVERYTHING and get tax payer subsidies to do it.

Funny that less than two years later they attack our country and blame it on terrorists we armed. You know who attacked the World Trade Center. The corporate owned government. This is a battle for our rights and it gets worse all the time.

Thousands and thousands of people were arrested, preemptively, with no charges, nothing. Later on they sued Seattle for suppression of constitutional rights. Everyone who was illegally detained was awarded at least $3,000.

lol im seeing a bunch of hypocrisy in these protesters. they apparently "despise" corporations. where do they get their clothes? corporations. where do they get their gas masks? corporations. where do they get their backpacks? corporations. where do they get their helmets? corporations. who do they give interviews to? corporations. maybe if they actually practice what they preach they would be taken more seriously.

The more i think about it the better peace sounds to me, but I understand the anger and want to smash shit. Peace is a lot more difficult and requires a lot more people to work together, Organise boycots, promote self sufficency, block enterances. when you fight they can villify you and claim to be victims, peace will bring you sympathy.
