Like many folks curious to know what's going on in the world around them, I spent a huge chunk of time following the Republican National Convention coverage and must say that I'm horribly disappointed in the work of today's Anarchists.
Sure, I saw some unnecessarily brutal action at the hand of the "fascist police" but on the other hand I have to say I'm more appalled that the protesters didn't put up much of a fight. Granted, preparation and anarchy don't exactly go together like peas and carrots but having four years to prepare should be ample time to organize something decent. In all the footage I watched didn't see a single protester who saved up the money for a proper gas mask. Instead, they all took off on their first run since senior year gym class the moment the po-po broke out the tear gas and concussion grenades. Seriously, The Orphans would have done better.
At the very least I thought Critical Mass would have been a shining beacon of civil protest and so did Minneapolis' crack Fox News Team. Check this out:
And here's the only RNC Critical Mass clip I could find:
Really? That's all the MPLS Critical Mass Krew had to offer the one week when the whole world was watching?
For shame.
Even a mid-winter Critical Mass in Nova Scotia is a rowdier event.
