I think this is about as aggressive as Europeans can get these days. I guess that's how they plan to deal with terrorists. Surrender to them or paint them from a distance.
I'm not saying the WTO are terrorists, or that true gunplay would have been preferred. Just pointing out that this response is as silly and flaccid as Old Europe's anti-terror policies.

Try that with Alan Greenspan, or George Bush and see what happens. I doubt those paint ball idiots would live through it.

Not funny. Could have put his eye out. Those P. balls leave serious welts through clothing...

Violent leftists strike again.
Anybody notice that all of the wounded and dead politicians in recent times have been killed/maimed/wounded by violent leftists? (LePen, Fortuyn, et. al.)
The only leftwingers that I can think of that were knocked off, were whacked by the Clintons.

World Bank President James Wolfensohn (L) covered with green paint, I don't see much paint on the guy to the left, but the guy on the right sure got nailed!

Reminds me of the time Anita Bryant caught a banana creme pie in the face during one of her pro-family, anti gay speeches in Des Moines.

Agree. And the one guy looks like he got nailed on the side of the head. I'd arrest them for assault, same as if they were throwing rocks at them.
I've been paintballing a couple of times and the two-inch diameter bruises are painful and fascinating in their coloration!

These globalization guys are the same looney leftists that we have in our country. They are ETA, PETA, and all the other enviro wackos all rolled into one.
They should be arrested and throwed in jail. I don't think this is ONE BIT FUNNY!
To: cajungirl
Wonder who provides security. Moot point now. You can bet they won't be providing it next time.
