"Protesters on tarmac raise security issues at UK airport" by Raphael G. Satter, Associated Press | December 9, 2008
LONDON - Environmental protesters cut through the perimeter fence at Britain's third-largest airport yesterday and occupied the tarmac, forcing cancellation of more than 50 flights and raising questions about the vulnerability of airports.
Two waves of protesters arrived at Stansted Airport before dawn. The first group used an old firetruck to provide cover as they cut the perimeter fence with bolt cutters so a second group could run through the gap. The protesters then chained themselves together and erected a barrier around themselves.
It took nearly five hours to clear the tarmac. Police arrested 57 people. "If they can do it, I'm sure there would be nothing to stop terrorists," said Terry Purton, 61, a passenger whose flight to Bratislava was delayed. The action [was] meant to protest a possible second runway at Stansted and escalating carbon emissions....

"Greek youths riot to protest killing; 3d day of clashes since shooting of teen by police" by Anthee Carassava, New York Times | December 9, 2008
ATHENS - Violence by youths angry over the killing of a teenager by the police raged across Greece for a third day yesterday as thousands of police officers failed to contain some of the worst rioting in recent years.
The COVER STORY LIE is IN PLACE!!!
A march through downtown Athens turned violent, as protesters threw concrete slabs, rocks, and flaming gasoline bombs at the officers and smashed storefronts. A government Christmas tree along their path was set on fire. Rioting also intensified in the country's second largest city, Salonika, and spread to Trikala, a city in the agricultural heartland.
I notice the MSM SOFT-SELLING the attacks on GLOBALIST and GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS!!! (Blog author just shaking his head at the lying)
Schools were shut in Athens, the capital, and high school and university students spilled onto the streets, leading to scattered violence throughout the day. But the evening demonstration, which had attracted thousands and was organized by the Communist Party, was accompanied by some of the worst of the violence of the past several days.
A-HA!!! Related: Operation Gladio
Violence and AGENT PROVOCATEURS go HAND in HAND!!!!!
A strip of five-star hotels was ransacked, including the Grande Bretagne, where a life-size scene of "The Nutcracker" was knocked down, and the Athens Plaza, where a guard said guests had to be evacuated.
Because a KID was KILLED by the COPS?
Something is a STINKIN', MSM!
The rioting began Saturday, shortly after a 15-year-old was fatally shot in what the police said was a confrontation with a mob. The government has charged one police officer with premeditated manslaughter in the case and another as an accomplice.
Senior security officials said they had put the country's 45,000-member police force on alert in one of the biggest security mobilizations since Athens was host to the 2004 Summer Olympics. Panayiotis Stathis, a spokesman for the Athens police, said security forces were "trying to control the situation" while using restraint in putting down any protests.
All over one dead kid?
As night fell yesterday, rioters were barricaded at two university campuses in the capital. The Greek police and military have not been permitted to enter college campuses since 1973, when tanks quashed a student uprising at Athens Polytechnic, leading to at least 22 civilian deaths.
Panagiotis Sotiris, 38, a spokesman for Uniting Anti-Capitalist Left, a coalition of leftist groups that helped take over the Athens Law School yesterday, told Reuters that the violence was connected not only to the killing, "but is a struggle to overthrow the government's policy."
"We are experiencing moments of a great social revolution," he said.
You hear that, Amurkn? Well, quit slurping that MSM scitte!!!
In Athens, some 15,000 police officers fanned out across the city, the authorities said. Rebel youths and anarchists threw rocks at officers in riot gear and shouted anti-establishment slogans as the police countered with rounds of tear gas. Workers who returned to their jobs yesterday expressed anger at the damage, which has destroyed department stores, banks and scores of cars.
"What happened with the teenager was terrible," said Marina Christodoulou, a teller at a bank destroyed by rioters. "But watching these rebellious youths tear down the town without an inkling of a response from the police makes the authorities look like cowards."
That's how you know they are provocateurs; not with the PEOPLE!
And why would rioters TEAR APART a BANK over a KID'S DEATH at the hand of POLICE?
--more--"
So even when the papers cover protests, they are DISTORTED and DAMNABLE LIES!!!!
Un-frikkin'-real!!!!!
