Views on the G20 Summit and Subsequent Riots

K. Well. Let's put it out there.

Both sides were at fault.

The rioters were mainly anarchist kids who think that anarchy is superior to any forms of government. Which, I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with. Anarchy is just as stupid as any other form of government, and in many ways worse. Most of the kids who protested seemed to fall under three categories.

First: the aforementioned stupid anarchist kids.

Second: Spoiled conservative kids who watch too much FOX news and believe that Obama is a tool of the evil jesuit lawmakers and lucifer himself. These guys really piss me off, more than the punkers.

Third: The bystanders, as shown in this video. These are the ones I sympathize with, as often they were clumped in with the protesters.

And then there were the cops, who, as the G20 was an international event, were put under direct command of the Secret Service and did not hesitate to tear gas and sound cannon the protesters. Fun fact: this is the first time in US history that sound cannons have been used to suppress a crowd. Typically they are placed on commercial yachts to deter pirates.

Can't really say who's the bad guy here. The protesters are kinda stupid, yeah, but the police overreacted and were far too violent. Or were they? After all, the protesters did riot and stuff... I don't know. It's a tough position for both sides.
