4. I think your post is confusing

Many of these photos have been around for awhile. In fact, I used a lot of them in this Quicktime movie.

Are you perhaps soliciting photos of Miami to ADD to the gallery? :shrug:

[bpilgrim]

7. I attended one of the protests as an observer, I left dissalusioned

I really think that a signifigant percentage of the protesters were hurting there own cause. I had some conversations with a couple union leaders that I had met previously and they agreed with me.

The huge number of people with the anti-war signs reenforced the notion that the protesters were non-free-thinking leftists.

[onebigbadwulf]

9. Huh?

Who else would protest besides leftists?

[Bombtrack]

10. Many if not most union/pro-regulation Americans are centrists

And many people who lean-left, yet aren't on the amgry/hard-left(which all too commonly is the leftist equivolent of the dittohead) would realize that at at an anti-free trade protest you protest free trade, not a seperate foreign policy issue.

[Aidoneus]

13. do you recognize that the two issues are interconnected?

.

[Bombtrack]

14. about as much as gun-control and abortion are

FTAA and the occupation of Iraq are both foreign policy isssues technicaclly but one is based on labor and trade policy and the other military and national security.

[Aidoneus]

17. with the same tendencies at work in both

I assume you disagree with that as well..

[Bombtrack]

22. I don't know what you mean

sorry

Dumbass.

Police State anyone?:hurts:

[Mika]

18. Then you will love this one

Who's streets?

[INTELBYTES]

19. Does it look to you like they are enjoying this?

What are these cops thinking? I can't believe they would follow this regime orders to commit violence against our own people. :wtf:

[Mika]

23. I know these people weren't enjoying it

[Military Brat]

21. Why do I suddenly have that Village People song in my head?

The Village People dressed in riot uniforms. Check out that loser on the far left.

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a.
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

[Mika]

20. For the tragic anniversary

The Miami PD honoring JFK's memory

[INTELBYTES]

34. From what I understand some of these kids got SHOT! No joke.

We had a caller on the Guy James Show that described a kid on his bus who, when they got back on the bus to return to Naples, told them that he simply raised his arms into a "Y" and they shot him. The caller said that the kid had been shot THREE times, once in the cheek, and was in bad shape.

30. this happened in california too

the bay area. we are not immune, no one is immune. :scared:

[aeon flux]

31. The South

Is the least protest-friendly part of the country I imagine. Hardcore Rethug territory down there. Southern cops go to extremes to intimidate protestors. I'm surprised they didn't kill anyone.

Those protestors got balls.
