The RNC demo...

[Ele'ill]

From the videos i've seen on indymedia's TC site it looks like the anti-capitalist bloc was unorganized and over excited. I was hoping for some real strategy this time around and some minor or major disruptions. Maybe there wasn't enough of them to do anything productive but all I saw was people running down the street and tipping over newspaper stands and rolling dumpsters around :huh:. No tire fires, no flaming dumpsters and no unity. Forget about the unarrests, those don't count.

I consider this demo counter-productive for the anti capitalist movement. It looked like a bunch of young hipsters that skipped the planning stage and went right into the iconic 'riot' phase. I have yet to see or hear about the other demos that took place.

I suggest ten thousand protesters pouting and stamping their feet. :)

It's hard to find out what happened with the media blackout being a regular occurrence.

The people there recorded it too..

Sounds like most far left movements. Including this one. I'm sure it's just because the eeeeeeeeeeevil capitalists keep the masses ignorant though.

Yea, thats because they care more about the riot then the politics.
