Regardless of your views about anything related to the summit of world leader, here are some good photographs:

smashing windows and vadalizing buildings is cool, but i'll have a boner when a national bank gets expoded.

And Europeans call us violent...

Meh... who cares.

I'll be impressed if they ever get in and start disembowelling the delegates.

In the first picture the cop is getting beat up by a girl!

The second picture is gay because it's staged.

Nice to see the protesters all in their nice clothes, and drinking Carlsberg, with silver chains and brand name sunglasses...

Remember kids, Nike is another name for revolution.

Fuck them. Bunch of hypocritical cunts.

You want to protest about something, take some action that'll actually be effective.

Maybe they're just observers. I went to the FTAA protests as an observer. I mean everybody who discusses/photographs/films these sorts of things has an angle, but what actually goes on? Now I know. I think it was really very worthwhile for me even though I wasn't up on my politics at the time. Humans are amazing creatures.

Wish I could get motivated enough to protest things.

My original post linked about halfway through the pictures, so I fixed the link.

Where I originally saw this people were saying that too, how there were more photographers than protesters and that a lot of people just seem like rich people taking in a fine day of rioting.

Which is what pisses me off about this circus.

Wanna have a go at the money men, do what Nicholas Bolton did.

Background: Big investment bank underwrites a startup toll road company in Brisbane. Cost of the issue is $3 a unit, to be paid in 3 $1 installments. GFC hits, and the unit price plummets to $0.001 a unit. A bunch of small investors snap up huge numbers of the units at $0.001 unaware that they still have to pay 2 installments of $1 each over the next 2 years. This means these investors are up for millions of dollars each.

Nicholas Bolton buys $47k worth of the units, effectively making him the biggest single shareholder in the company, but also with a libaility to pay the next 2 installments costing tens of millions of dollars. He realises that 75% of the company is now owned by small investors who cant possibly make the installment payments.

So what does he do? He tries to get a shareholders meeting together to wind up the company. The investment bank and directors of the company go apeshit, try to take Bolton down through the courts, and lose.

That to me is affirmative action.

>>You want to protest about something, take some action that'll actually be effective.<<

I vote for .50 action. And that's why they are trying so fucking hard to outlaw these babies.
They can stop a cop car from over a mile away or bring down a chopper.

i got my nikes in a free box. and looking like a hipster isn't such a bad disguise. maybe if i bought a black american apperal hoodie people would take my tendancies towards anarchism more seriously? drop dead.

And Europeans call us violent...

I believe Europeans call you dumb and cultureless. Mostly dumb.

See that's ok, because they know the Americans dont care about being called dumb or cultureless.

Call an American weak, and he'll blow the shit out of you.

I'm not sure what kiwis get called, but I'm pretty sure we get called a lot for cluttering up other peoples countries, bars and women
