Anti-capitalism protesters have brought havoc to central Geneva during a demonstration against the World Trade Organisation.
They burned cars and faced up to riot police in a zone near the central bus station of the Swiss town.
They also smashed the windows of shops, bank and cafés.
The violent protesters were a fringe minority on an otherwise peaceful march of some 2000 people ahead of a three day conference of the World Trade Organisation which starts on Monday.
They accuse the WTO of not doing enough to tackle climate change, claiming it is a mouthpiece for the interests of multinational corporations.
Chances are, they got there by riding a capitalist car, plane, or bicycle, wear clothes made by a capitalist clothier, and eat food grown by capitalist farmers,ranchers and grocers, and see no irony whatsoever.
Why should these zealots be so angry about capitalism. Most likely none of these yobs never had a job in the first place.
Oh yeah, that’s why.(welfare cases...)
“fringe minority” Total BS Just like the SS were a Fringe minority in WWII.
The media report it this way to deflect criticism away from the organizers. I can guarantee you that the leaders/organizers of these so-called peaceful protests are well aware of the individuals who plan on being violent and destructive, they approve of the violence and destruction and would be disappointed if it didn’t occur it. Without the violence, the disrtruction their protests have no real impact and get much less publicity.
In reality there is no such thing as a peaceful left wing demonstration, they always turn violent because that’s what the organizers want.
Just an excuse to burn stuff. They have nothing else to do.
Probably the children of wealthy capitalists who are feeling guilty they can coast through life on daddy's dough.
“Chances are, they got there by riding a capitalist car, plane, or bicycle, wear clothes made by a capitalist clothier, and eat food grown by capitalist farmers,ranchers and grocers, and see no irony whatsoever.”
It’s entirely phony and done by paid actors on the take from international Communism.
Karl Marx coined the term “Capitalism” for “Free Enterprise”, the beneficial engine of prosperity.
And do we feel sorry for the liberals in Europe for this ? Booo Hoo Hooo.. cry me a river.
Looks like the same crowd that flew in to the 1999 WTO meeting and trashed Seattle. They are on someone’s payroll to be able to jet around like that. These misfits need to be jailed for a long time.
SEIU International?
... and coordinate their attacks using cell phones and telco infrastructure manufactured by those filthy capitalists.
I don't know, I'm guessing. But it takes serious coin to globetrot wherever the WTO decides to have its far-flung meetings (usually it's to a locale where all the committee members haven't visited before)
I’m not to sure these WTO folks are capitalist. I actually am beginning to not like them much also.... funny thing.
Store bought hammers and mallets are a bit of a giveaway, no?
Are reporters really this in bed with the leftists? They cannot even report the truth in front of them. Didn’t they look at the photos before writing the story?
We need to revert the color “RED” back to the liberals next election cycle.
Conservatives were dupes to even fall for the whole Red thing.
You cannot state this publicly enough times.
That Obama and his cronies sit in the WH today is a testament that a majority of the American people have forgotten the origins of prosperity.
They think the political class (takers) are the origin and that wealth is created by legislation.
How did the protesters get there? What were they wearing? What did they eat? Where do they live and what do they live in? Do they have jobs? Where does their sustenance come from if unemployed? Just asking the questions they are ashamed to answer, morons.
Look at the anarchists who disrupted the Republican convention in Minneapolis last year. They did the same things as these thugs. The same things have also happened in Seattle and other cities.
Not only does it happen on city streets but you will find it on college campuses where these leftist punks will disrupt and cause riots whenever there is some speaker that they do not agree with. When Tom Tancredo spoke at a southern university, he was not allowed to present his case. The radical punks threw rocks through windows and did everything possible to disrupt and stop Mr. Tancredo from exercising his first amendment rights. Some weeks after the riot what happened to the rioters? Nothing happened! They were not sentenced to prison. One of the rioters was a young woman whose father is a Hollywood bigwig. They got off scott free.
This is all planned from the beginning. The left does not do anything unless they have there leftist politicians and judges in place. You never see these riots in conservative communities because the police would kick butt and the judges would throw the punks in jail. But all of the anarchist riots that we see whether in this country or others are orchestrated so that the punks can cause damage and get off without doing any jail time. There is something called judge shopping which means that they have some leftist judges in the targeted areas who will give the punks a slap on the wrist.
There have been attacks on patriotic Americans peacefully speaking their minds. Flag burning punks assault these peaceful people, even elderly people while the police stand back watching the whole thing without doing anything to help the innocent. These are the orders that the police are given by the political leaders that is why it is safe to say that all of these anarchist/communist actions have political protection. The punks act with impunity knowing that they will not be thrown in jail for months with hardened criminals. If they got some jail time they would not be acting like they do.
If you want to get some insight how this works just look at the way the SEIU attacked people at the town hall meetings. They did not do this on their own, the democratic party ordered them to do it. The communist/anarchist rioters are no different, they too are given their marching orders by the leftist politicians.
