Anarchists Invade Melbourne
I just got back from a trip to Western Australia and the first thing I see on the news is that my adopted home city of Melbourne is being trashed by Anarchist thugs:
AT TIMES the Paris end of Collins Street looked more like Paris ‘68. A splinter group of hardcore protesters, their faces masked and wearing white anti-chemical suits, fought an afternoon-long series of guerilla skirmishes with police during yesterday’s anti-G20 demonstration.
They called themselves Arterial Block and by some reports left 30 police battered and bruised, one with a broken wrist. They attacked a police truck near Flinders Lane, pulled down barricades, assaulted a television journalist and graffitied the ANZ bank. They were the ones who Treasurer Peter Costello, locked inside the summit at the Grand Hyatt described as “hard-core militant and violent groups who have organised for violence, trained for violence and engaged in violence against property and police”.
With all this violence you would think a bunch of people were arrested right? Well only four people were in fact arrested:
POLICE have arrested four G20 protesters for assault after they chained themselves to a car near the Victorian parliament in central Melbourne late on Saturday night.
Police said the protesters caused a crowd disturbance near Spring Street and officers were called about 10pm (AEDT).
After protesters scuffled with police, four people were arrested and questioned. One person was drunk, police said.
No charges have been laid.
The arrests follow a day of incidents in Melbourne when streams of anti-globalisation protesters tried to disrupt the two-day G20 summit.
I really can’t stand these thugs that in actuality support no causes they just want to destroy property, harm people, and cause violence.
By the way I will get postings put up of my Western Australia trip as soon as I have time.
