..some had legitimate gripes, but most were disoriented, naive rich kids who needed a city-style ass-kicking...

"To be honest, some of us just do it for fun," said one of my workshop pals.

Just like this no hoper of a reporter.

This type of reporting stinks, chances are that he roused peoples anger, to get a good story out of it.

It didn't work though.
Had he addressed the issues they were protesting about, it might have made a good read.

And a few more waste of space reporters, just looking for the dirt.
When are people going to wake up to the fact, that had it not been for the infiltration of reporters to these demonstrations, most would pass off peacefully.

It is widely known that some elements of the press Pay people to throw a few bricks here and there, make the pictures worth more on the media market.

I attended workshops in preparation for chaos. I marched with them, linked arms with them, chanted, participated in a pagan ritual with witches and stood fast and frightened with them as hundreds of anxious cops in riot gear surrounded us.

I am amazed that an FR thread has gone on for 60 posts and no one has mentioned that one.
