  Hold on

  Very nice piece,

  i was in rostock for the week and think Michael got it totally right. The vibe was experienced as very positive and constructive all along the alternative summit ánd the protests.
  There was a victorious atmosphere at the campsite, the night of the blockades, right after the provocative policeforce retreated their surrounding of the camp.
  So this is how we get to the violence.

  Police expected it, provoked it, and got it.
  Black Block cleares the way for people to demonstrate in piece, and violence is only a reaction to the denial of the right to speak one's mind. I saw it happen, i saw discipline when it was needed, and i saw them make the peaceful protest possible.On Reflections from the scene of this weekend's G8 protests posted 2 years, 5 months ago 5 Responses
