Chile Police Clash With Summit Knuckleheads Protesters
2004-11-20
More than 25,000 goofs rubes fools simple-minded rustics idiots anarchists protesters marched through downtown Santiago on Friday, demonstrating against common sense Daddy's money an economic summit of Pacific Rim leaders, the attendance of President Bush and the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Protests elsewhere turned violent and dozens were arrested. The march opposing the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit was peaceful, but riot police used water cannons and tear gas earlier to break up an unauthorized demonstration by hundreds of rock-throwing dipshits protesters. The summit, which opens Saturday, has been greeted by four straight days of protests.
The International League of Beauzeaux stages the same show every time they have a similar conference. It's ceasing to be news, unless there's a corpse count...
Bush and leaders from 21 other nations were expected to discuss issues ranging from trade and security to growing corruption. Bush is also expected to seek support to pressure on North Korea to return to nuclear talks. In the face of growing idiocy opposition, security has been heavy with about 4,500 extra police posted on the streets of Santiago and another 1,500 on call should the need arise in the city of 5.5 million. Violence also broke out at a rock concert in a park following the march when a group of about 50 masked anarchists demonstrators hurled rocks at police, overturned benches and tore down traffic signs. One news photographer was hit in the head with rock, but unfortunately was not badly injured. The demonstrators then hurled Molotov cocktails at a car dealership a block away, burning two vehicles, before fleeing. About 130 black-flagged morons protesters were detained, and Deputy Interior Minister Jorge Correa blamed the violence ``on a group of vandals who are the real threat to Chileans' rights to gather peacefully and freely.'' ``The whole weight of law will follow them,'' Correa said. Shortly before Bush arrived in the capital Friday night, a fresh round of protests broke out in Valparaiso, a port city 75 miles north of Santiago. Police used water cannons and tear gas to break up the demonstration, chasing the pinheads protesters and detaining more than 50. Two especially slow-witted demonstrators were injured, none seriously.
They're not "protesters." They're "rioters." They can be controlled by isolating and jugging the ring leaders. The occurences can be cut down by going after the money boyz and the organizers in the same way we should be going after the terror network money boyz and organizers.
Organizers of the Santiago march said 40,000 simpletons protesters took part in the government-authorized event far from the conference center where leaders of 21 Pacific region economies will meet. Police put the number at 25,000. While some automatons protesters said they oppose the APEC summit, which they likened to a rich man's club that does nothing for the poor, much of the unintelligent rage was aimed at Bush and the U.S.-led liberation of war in Iraq. Marchers made faces chanted and rolled their eyes held up posters criticizing the U.S. leader. Some also revealed their true agenda expressed sympathy with the Iraqi terrorists insurgents in Fallujah.
"Kids! Don't fergit to smash the state!"
Bush was to hold one-on-one meetings Saturday with counterparts from China, Japan, South Korea, Russia - all involved in the six-nation talks with North Korea. On Friday, Bush won support from China for a strong U.S. approach toward North Korea. Numerous other bilateral meetings were planned between world leaders, including a key session Sunday between the leaders of Japan and China over a Chinese nuclear submarine's recent intrusion into Japanese waters. At the APEC conference center Friday, business executives, economists and other experts gathered for seminars and informal talks about trade and growing business ties between Asia and Latin America. Trade and foreign ministers from 21 Pacific Rim economies issued a strong show of support for ongoing World Trade Organization talks. They also agreed on new counterterrorism measures aimed at protecting everything from air travel to shipping and food stocks. APEC members also pledged to implement new security measures to tighten access to shoulder-fired missiles, preventing the possibility of terrorists acquiring them and downing civilian jetliners. They also scheduled for development a counterterrorism passenger alert system to make flights safer.

#2  So who finances the SF protestors little junket to Chile, eh, Seafarious. We need to start tracking the money trail. Or at least the FBI should. They are recycling the same people for these protest junkets, it seems to me.

#1  I heard a radio interview from Santiago with a group of kidz from San Francisco. "We just want the world to know that the US is still a divided nation. We still hate George Bush!"

My eyes rolled all the way back into my head.
