I went to, Korea in 1988. I seen a protest. About twelve a$$holes and a bunch of onlookers durring lunch hour. There was the media making the onlookers look like part of the protest. Incidently there was more media than protesters.

Look how far away from the fence he is. This guy is posing for pictures. He's not throwing at anyone. This is all Bullchips.....these Photogs should be locked up.Good point. Even Mumia-Cong slackers would realize that it's a bad idea to throw rocks at the Mexican police if there's any chance of hitting them.

In the 1980s my sister was stationed in Germany.
Every couple of days, on the other side of the wall, buses would load up and come across to where she was, unload and put up a protest against the US.
They'd eat their box lunch, 'protest' some more, and head home. you have to wonder what the protestors valued that guaranteed they'd get back on the bus.
In this country the media (I worked for ABC) made it look like the whole friggin' continent was trying to get rid of us.
The wheel has turned, their time is up...

Oh, that's not the good one. There's a much better picture out there where Che's eyes are lazy and unfocused. One eye looks norht and the other is looking southeast. A very sober look is on the socialist messiah's face too. Sweet shot. Should be over the crib of every red diaper baby as a reminder of what a bad life comes to.

Clearly staged photoReally bad acting by the moonbat, too. Would that make him a "ham-ass" terrorist?

There is no better example than this of how the media incite and enable violent protests ... ... all over the world. Yes. "Complicit" is what I'd call them.

Yeah, but that's not the one, there is one really
definitive picture of a rock thrower and ten or so cameramen

Wasn't Che murdered by Castro's henchmen or something? An icepick through the head or was that Trotsky? I know communists are well known for their bare knuckles in-fighting.

OCTOBER 9, 1967: Early in the morning, the unit receives the order to execute Guevara and the other prisoners. Lt. PTrez asks Guevara if he wishes anything before his execution. Guevara replies that he only wishes to "die with a full stomach." PTrez asks him if he is a "materialist" and Guevara answers only "perhaps." When Sgt. Terran (the executioner) enters the room, Guevara stands up with his hands tied and states, "I know what you have come for I am ready." Terran tells him to be seated and leaves the room for a few moments. While Terran was outside, Sgt. Huacka enters another small house, where "Willy" was being held, and shoots him. When Terran comes back, Guevara stands up and refuses to be seated saying: "I will remain standing for this." Terran gets angry and tells Guevara to be seated again. Finally, Guevara tells him: "Know this now, you are killing a man." Terran fires his M2 Carbine and kills him. (Dept. of Defense Intelligence Information Report - 11/28/67).

I would not be suprised if the guy protesting was an ABC journalist testing the security at the WTO meeting.

When we had the WTO protests here in Seattle, a kid climbed up on the sign at Niketown and was trying to kick it down with his shoe. The news cameras caught him doing this and focused in on the brand he was wearing.
Yep. You guessed it.

Look at the protestor's feet. The rocks are lined up.
What a joke of a photo.
The organized media IS the problem.
