You see, in all the protests I've been at the vast majority of people are peaceful. Even the controlled movements are not interested in violence. They may not be interested in hearing about 9/11 Truth, but they aren't picking up rocks.
I assume he same is true of Europeans (in fact, I know it's true), and one need only ask CUI BONO?
Whom looks bad (or is being made to look bad) because of violence (in an agenda-pushing, war-promoting, globalist war daily)?
"Europeans rally on May Day in economic crisis; Violent clashes, arrests disrupt some events" by Jenny Barchfield, Associated Press | May 2, 2009
PARIS - Hundreds of thousands of European workers feeling the pinch of the economic crisis rallied at May Day protests yesterday from Moscow to Berlin to Istanbul.
Violence and clashes between police and angry protesters disrupted some events, including in Greece, Germany, and Turkey.
Yeah, I'm angry -- BUT ONLY WITH MY TONGUE!!!!
But overall participation fell short of what many countries' unions had hoped for on May Day, a public holiday in many countries that has long celebrated the social and economic achievements of labor movements.
Yup, RAIN (or more accurately, shit) on the parade, lying MSM (keep reading).
Obviously, this is not a protest the agenda-pushers approve.
Many of the protesters complained about rising unemployment and lost benefits, but few specifics appeared to emerge from the demonstrations about what governments should be doing to fight the global crisis.
Yeah, right, WE HAVE NO IDEAS!!
How about ENDING the FED for starters and RESPECT NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY?
Besides, NO IDEAS are BETTER than GLOBALIST ONES any day!!!!
Turnout.... was many times higher than last year....
Even though overall participation fell short. Whatever, agenda-pushing s***ters!
Police put nationwide turnout at 465,000, while unions said some 1.2 million people took to the streets yesterday. Last year, May Day marches across France drew an estimated 100,000-200,000 people.
Okay, I've had enough of the MSM lying. And ARE YOU LISTENING, America?
Why aren't you out there? The Egyptians, now the Europeans, WTF?
The French rallies followed months of protests and a spate of "boss-nappings," in which workers angry over job cuts held key managers hostage in an attempt to win concessions.
They are lucky they didn't get the Bastille blade!
But all of yesterday's rallies were smaller than March 16 protests, when more than 1 million people across France demanded more government protections against the financial downturn.
I'm just sick of the MSM and their minimization.
"Exasperation is rising. Why should the people pay for a crisis for which they are absolutely not responsible?" said New Anticapitalist Party spokesman Francis Viguie at a march in the southern city of Montpellier.
Well, they shouldn't.
In Italy, union leaders shifted May Day rallies from major cities to the earthquake-stricken town of L'
Spain, which has gone from being one of Europe's strongest economies to having its highest unemployment rate, saw tens of thousands of people demonstrate. Still, participation failed to reach the levels union leaders called for.
Yup, WE GET TENS of THOUSANDS and it is a FAILURE -- from the same paper that crows about handfuls of gays (or illegal immigrants) showing up. They are something else, these agenda-pushing s***-bags!
In Turkey, which only last week declared the international labor day a public holiday, unionists rallied at a previously banned site where dozens died during a May Day demonstration three decades ago. But the event was marred by nearby fighting between riot police and leftists. At least 26 people were detained, the Anatolia news agency reported.
I smell some sort of GLADIO, don't you?
A protest in the German capital turned violent as leftists hurled bottles and burning objects at police. A group of 400 blocked a streetcar line by sitting on the tracks. Police said 28 were detained in Berlin, and 200 in the western city of Dortmund, where far-right demonstrators pitched fireworks and stones at pedestrians and police. In the southern city of Ulm, police turned water cannons on thousands who turned out to demonstrate against a smaller gathering of neo-Nazis.
In neighboring Austria, officials said five people were arrested and more than 20 injured in clashes between protesters and police at a rally in the northern city of Linz, organized by the local branch of the Communist Party.
Greek officers used flash grenades to disperse violent protesters in Athens after attacks on banks and traffic cameras. No arrests or injuries were reported, but transport strikes disrupted bus, train, and ferry services as well as Olympic Airlines flights.
Well, the Greeks have certainly had their experiences with Gladio the last few months -- and BRAVO for the GENERAL STRIKE!!!!
It was the first May Day since the advent of the global financial crisis, and Russia police were out in force as communists and liberals gathered to criticize the government. Moscow police said four leftists were detained after trying to light flares near the Kremlin. Dozens were detained in St. Petersburg.
In Moscow, several thousand communist supporters gathered near a statue of Karl Marx and called for the government to resign, accusing it of ignoring the needs of everyday Russians and mismanaging the economy....
