Who finances these demonstrators?

It seems that all the radical socialistic malcontents in the world have made these economic summit conclaves venues for their sociopathic “conventions,” where they can vent their frustrations collectively over whatever it is that bugs them.

Far Left? How can you be sure? They might be Global Civil Society not to be confused with Civil Society.

AN ORGY OF VIOLENCE AS G-8 APPROACHES
German City Rocked by Violent Riots

At least 146 police were injured and dozens arrested in the northern German city of Rostock on Saturday afternoon during a major protest in the run-up to Wednesday's G-8 summit in the nearby resort town of Heiligendamm.

Protestors and police clashed in the northern German port city of Rostock throughout Saturday afternoon in the run-up to next week's G-8 summit. News agencies reported that 146 police were injured, 25 seriously, in the melee between anarchists and left-wing radicals and the thousands of police amassed at the scene. Police in the city reported the arrests of 49 protesters suspected of violence.

Police fired water cannons on violent activists as protestors torched cars in scenes reminiscent of the mass protests in the suburbs of Paris, France, just over a year and a half ago. By early, evening, however, police reported that calm had been restored in Rostock.

Boy, those Peace Protesters sure are peaceful/s

[four more in O 4]

more of the organized anarchists.

What are they demonstrating against - bad schools that didn’t teach them what an oxymoron is?

About as peaceful as the religion of peace (pieces).

You know, the issues and allegiances get blurred. For example, the demonstrators are characterized as “far left”, yet one of their main issues is anti-globalism. Now I am hardly far-left but I am also anti-globalism (but I don’t generally throw bottles at police).

The solution?

1. Arrest anyone wearing a mask to a demonstration
2. Authorize the Shooting of anyone who picks up / throws a rock
3. Arrest any group of protesters protecting a rock thrower from immediate arrest / being shot while throwing rocks
4. Use water cannon on any crowd with a Molotov cocktail, then arrest them.
5. Authorize the shooting of anyone with a Molotov cocktail.
6. Anyone arrested at a protest gets 30 days hard labor, no exceptions.
7. wrongful death suits against police defending themselves from violent protesters will not be heard.

If you announce these new rules of engagement for police involved in a violent protest, you will get outrage, but peaceful protests.
