Banks, police stations and cars attacked
by Uri Gordon Friday December 14, 2001 at 02:20 PM

Symbolic attacks continue in D14 demo * 4 banks, 2 police stations and 3 Mercedes cars smashed * Secret police still present

The Black Bloc in the D14 demo is continuing to initiate action against property. Eye witnesses confirm that 4 banks, 2 police stations and " Mercedes cars have been smashed. NO local shops, civillians or other demonstrators were harmed. Black Bloc-ers attack these selected targets as symbols of capitalism and oppression.
Police have not responded to these events, possibly in an attempt to raise the tension before repression begins.
Additionally, secret police dressed in street clothes are still among the crowd in large numbers, giving the lie to the mayuors promise that this would not happen.

Black Bloc is not within the D14 Demo, but at the end of the demonstration.

Boycot Black Bloc

"The Black Bloc in the D14 demo is continuing to initiate action against property"

Who are these idiots? Little children that obviously don't make a difference between going to a football match and demo's, as long as they can destroy. One word: pathetic.
Don't they understand that it is exactly this kind of behaviour that governments want to see, in order to stigmatise the whole movement as a bunch of destroying criminals.
Get a life, bunch of loosers!
Boycot black block: nothing but posers!

Mercedes is a very very popular car with the turkish and morocan immigrants who live in the Bockstael neighbourhood.
Symbol of oppression???

Capitalism
by Jürgie Friday December 14, 2001 at 02:56 PM

Not the idea of property or an economic system founded in possession is wrong, but a system that renders possession the privilege of a small elite.
One of the most destructive traits of rough capitalism is that destruction of products has a positive effect on the economy. Therefore, the actions of the Black Bloc have a positive effect on the economy, making rich people richer and poor people poorer.

If you want to react against the acceleration of economic production, just buy one car and try to drive it for the rest of your life. Use your "old" computer and buy one GSM every twenty years.

Sincerely,

Jürgie.

Fair play to the Black Bloc - all the time people are talking about 'smashing capitalism', 'destroying the system', etc. Now that the Bloc are actually GOING AND FUCKING DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, whiny little shits (including an array of liberal anti-globalisation heads) get on their back calling them idiots, children etc..

Dont talk the talk unless you're willing to walk the walk. Good luck to the Bloc. Heads down, fists out, go. Burn a bank down to the ground for all of us, fuck it over good and proper. We've all wanted to do it. ARM YOUR DESIRES.

The police lie

The police lie, they do it all the time, you cannot trust them, you can negotiate very very rarely, I personnaly still do not understand people's sense of 'injustice' about the police lying. That is their job!! They will never ever serve our interests, don't fucking talk to the bastards!
