[Nettime-bold] day 2 |
From: "chuck reinhardt" <chuckyeo@hotmail.com> To: <reclaimthestreets@listbot.com> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 2:36 PM Subject: day 2 there was a lot of tension this morning as we assembled to parade through town, all several thousand of us. the police attacked the black block in the corso marconi, with tear gas, some went up the corso torino. as we crossed corso buenos aires, we received news the g8 meeting were canceled. the mood changed to joy. the march became a parade, wit music and dancing in the streets. the speeches were by jose bovò and the leader of the de mayo movement. at the end of the speech as we headed home, the black block, with police help, were at it again. we were all teargases as there destruction continued. this time i stuck close to them. i saw them blockade a street, on the corso sardegna, one of the main streets, physically destroy a gas station, set several fires, before the police moved in. as far as i could see, no one was arrested.. same thing about a mile away from the plazza tommase, where they destroyed an atm machine, and set a car on fire. no arrests as i could see, only tear gas, which im getting used to. there are many written reports that the polizi have joined forces with the black block, to discredit the peaceful protest.im here but i don't see or hear or that's going on. is this reported back home? when we arrived back at the media center, it appears the talks are not canceled, but may be moved to a yacht, that way they won't be able to smell the teargas used on the peaceful protesters. all the black block destruction today and yesterday has been a over a mile from the red zone. chuck Reclaim the Streets NYC - http://www.rtsnyc.org _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
