Protest

Just caught the anti-war protest outside the US consulate in Sydney. There were around 60 in attendance plus 20 cops. The Protest Warriors were around the corner. Apparently there was a minor scuffle. The organiser called them idiots. It was raining and all over in 10 mins flat. I'll post a video after work. via Moblog

UPDATE : Here's the video which opens in Quicktime. It's the usual stuff, WHATDA WE WANT ?...BUSH OUT NOW !...WHATDA WE GET ?...FOUR MORE YEARS ! Or something like that. Actually the supporting speech was more of a lame admission of how pathetic the rally really was, with the organiser exhorting the demonstrators, 'We've got to rebuild the anti-war movement in this country and get back to the streets in our tens and thousands . It's no use 8 of us sitting around a room...', oh dear.

Interesting that anti-war protesters should have such aggressive slogans ...

You have to fight for peace.

There's many ways to fight, "smashing" is just one. The pen is mightier than the sword.
