I read about it.

The arrests aren't even mentioned in other news. They only talk about 20.000 participating. I guess ten arrests in a crowd of nearly 20.000 isn't really noteworthy. 0,5 promille, if I'm not mistaken.

It's also Guy Fawkes day. They edited the article by now. Now they speak of 33 arrests, mainly for drugs. Nothing on the masks which don't seem to bother anyone much. It's guy Fawkes after all.

Yeah, they've never had a million participate in any of the marches here. It was a lot worse last year or the year before when it broke out into violence with fireworks and objects being thrown at officers though.

This just in: members of Anonymous react badly to the outside, fresh air, and sunlight.

Looks like it was a fun night out.  I bet the capitalism is working pretty well for the manufacturer of those guy fawkes masks right now.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I can't be the only one who thinks it's funny in a pathetic sort of way when an event billed as a "Million X March" misses that number by a couple orders of magnitude.

Quote:The Million Man March was a gathering en masse of African-American men in Washington, D.C., on October 16, 1995.

I am certain there were not a million people for that either.

Is it just peculiar to me that I find the Guy Fawkes masks just as creepy and off putting as the Burger King ?
