See my #26-- I neither kid nor exaggerate about what I mentioned. The local police ran away from about 30 unruly people at a nightclub- I shudder to think what they'd do if faced with even a thousand organized anarchists.

I believe it. But you can bet the elitist attending the G8 have the money to bring in private security by the busload, and will do so.

Sorry to hear you almost had trouble neighbor. If I lived closer, I'd been right over. I know you'd let me use one of your BAR's. ;^)

I do have a spare...

What outsiders don't realize is that there is a "gulf fixed between Brunswick and the Islands"- one that goes beyond the actual distances involved, or the salt marshes lying between.

These protesters might as well stage in Darien or Waycross, for all the nonexistent impact it will have on G-8 on those on the Islands.

To me, they are just self-indulgent pests trying to get attention from the usual suspects in the Jackal Pack Press, and to have their 15 minutes of fame on the TV.

You are right about an abundance of private security- the actual attendees have little to fear; they will be well-guarded.

It's us peons out in the hinterlands who will be annoyed by roadblocks, checkpoints and other manifestations of the Iron Fist inside the velvet glove.
