Another form of protest is making Sydney police look like idiots – no protest at all.
Here’s that list of predicted APEC rioters in full:
As of yesterday afternoon, APEC-related arrests in Sydney have encompassed 11 members of a comedy troupe, a man who squirted tomato sauce on a pro-US banner and another individual who apparently used bad language.
There’s a peaceful protest planned for today and I’m willing to put good money on it that something kicks off suddenly about 4pm .au time as the thousands of frustrated riot police who were promised a bloody good hippy-kicking by their superiors realise that if they want a riot. they’ll have to start one themselves.
How else will they get a chance to play with their nifty new paramilitary anti-personnel weapons?
(BTW, That’s a fine collection of overeating, beerguzzling jowls they’ve got there. Are they a badge of petty fascist rank or something?)
