Carlo Giuliani vs. corporate juggernaut

They were part of a convoy of armoured 4wds - the fire extinguisher would have bounced off - at worst left a dent. I've got pictures of the car and the shooting here. If you think you in enough danger to kill someone for throwing somthing in you - while inside what amounts to an armoured personel carrier i question your judgement.

Stupid cops in melbourne? they are using exactly the same tactics over there and in many other similar rallies- blind batten charging, its dangerous and innefective - a good excuse to bash people up. I userstand where the cops are coming from - and targeting cops is not smart but thats no excuse to kill people. There are few situation where i think cops shoudl even have the right to carry firearms. Airtasers, capsician sprays, cattle prods, and things like netguns are more than sufficient for 99% of situations. Firearms shoudl only be used by a teams like ARVs and SWAT who have the full training and dicipline to use them effectively. Its not easy to do, it requires years of specialisted training.

I've done full weapons training (mostly subbys(Uzi, MP5, MP5K, MP5SD) and rifles(AK47, M16) but some pistol) for a couple of reasons (Work in cambodia where you carry arms for security reasons and for paintball licnece) , we were trained to aim for 3 targets depending on the goal, head/center chest for kill or shoulder to disarm. Secnet training i did was partly based on H&K training - the most elite training organisation in weapons use and handeling in the world.

The cop shot him in the head - twice, he clearly wanted to kill him - then BACKED OVER THE BODY. He has been charged with murder for a good reason, this cannot come under self defense.

G8 meeting as slightly different in nature to what i do not like which are WTO meetings - which basicly are closed doors meeting over the richest and the most powerful - without public concent or scrunity our democraticly leaders cut deals with the multibillion dollars dominaters of commerce. This is what is defined as an olicarchy (yes i can't type and yes my spelling, particualry latin, sucks) where power in concentrated amoungst a few.

Well i don't think 100000 peopel are out there for a picnic - they have each some to the same conclusion that somthing is seirously wrong there - and are motivated enough to do somthing about it.

There are many reasons ot fear the future - 3 generation of tech are gonna turn out some pretty scary stuff (although i wouldn't mind some neural implants amoungst other things) and i'm not looking forward to what will probably left of our enviroment but total domination by corperate interests i see as the biggest threat. Blend 1984, some elements of Brave new world and and William Gibson and bingo - welcome to reality 2020.

ANd its hard to spell/type correctly when your tying in free periods in a busy library surroudned by peopel at school.
