They probably were saving it up for a while.

It troubles me when I see people do stupid shit like that and cause the anti side to be seen as a 'bunch of asshat protestors' when there is a valid arguement to their side. One asshole protestor doesn't mean them all, right guys?
As long as they stand by and tolerate the "asshole in the midst" among them, yeah, it does in my book.

The day the rest of the protestors turn around and start beating the crap outta the guy with the bucket, I'll start listening to their arguments. Until then, they're just one guy with a bucket and a bunch of folks with a guy with a bucket.

I don't know about this case, but other WTO protests were made up of many groups and individuals. I've wondered some times if the violent ones weren't planted to discredit the rest. When a lot of protesters are covering an entire city, you can be sure the media will be where the violent ones are. At least the media where the violent ones are will get on the air.:confused:

if those protesters don't know what they're protesting, then how many of those cops do you think don't know what they're protecting??

Perplexed
 
OK, this has got me puzzled. Why would anyone collect, gather, buy, or otherwise obtain a bucket of liquid shit? Much less fling the thing. I mean when I clean out the lizard cage and the goat pens we're talking boots and gloves and assorted other gear. That's to gross for words. Hope the flinger had to get a tetnus shot. :vomit: :vomit:

Welcome to the Cellar cynic.:D
At the WTO meetings there are almost as many agendas as there are protesters. The WTO pisses off a lot of people for a lot of reasons.
The cops on the other hand don't have to know anything but their orders and the law. Well, maybe just their orders.:rolleyes:
