#2 Don't you love those nice ~~schizo potheads~~ ~~spoiled white middle-class kids~~ ~~drifters~~ anarchists?

I mean, they're very lively, even juiced-up, one might say.

#3 The Oz blogs have lots of pix and commentary.

Apparently the anarchists brought in a lot of reinforcements from New Zealand and Europe.

#4 Apparently the anarchists brought in a lot of reinforcements from New Zealand and Europe

One french law enforcement official spoke of "riots tourists" (touristes émeutiers), IE a large number (3000, I think) of semi-professional or fully professional "activists" specialized in violence, who travels from one summit to an another. Think "black bloc", for the most hyped.
They're supported by the "mainstream antiglobo left", which give them aid and comfort, and tacitly condone their use of violence.

#5 Pathetic laws, eh? These would be the pathetic laws that keep the police from beating the crap out of you and leaving your dead carcass in a dumpster.

The "we are non-violent, but I refuse to condemn violence" bit is amusing but somewhat contradictory. To condemn violence is to take a moral position and we all know how yucky and judgemental that is. Ghandi should come back and kick their protesting asses.

#6 Coat this ass with pig blood then drop him in the water around the Barrier Reef. The feeding frenzy would last around 45-60 seconds. Problem resolved.

So you're expecting just the jellyfish and snakes to show up?

#9 Trying to get my head around the concept of the anarchists all showing up at the same time....its almost as if they had some sort of organization. oxymoron detector keeps cutting out....

#10 What the world needs is a counter-anarchist group to go to these "meetings" and beat the crap out of the anarchists. I believe the fun would end about the third time this happened. Something like this happened when the group met at the Broadmoor here in Colorado Springs (the only five-star hotel in the region). A group of folks decided they'd riot, until they saw about 400 heavily-muscled guys with short clubs that the Broadmoor had hired to "keep the piece". That's spelled correctly. The Broadmoor wasn't going to let any group of unwashed mess up THEIR venue! Seems to have worked.

#13 semi-professional or fully professional "activists" specialized in violence, who travels from one summit to an another.

Anyone else get the impression that these shits need a special no-fly list all their own?

#14 I like that idea, Zenster - works for me. In time, I'm thinking you'll prolly evolve it to a no-land, or land-really-hard, list, lol.

#15 I'm good with a "fly" rule, just a "no-safe landing" auxiliary rule

Shhhhh, .com, give it some time. Frank's on it. I trust his engineering skills to come up with a way for them to fly some really unfriendly skies.
