Protesters Making Noise at the G8 Summit

Protesters Making Noise at the G8 Summit

Demonstrators protesting the upcoming G-8 summit are raising some attention in Germany today. Over 13,000 police were in full force heavily outnumbered by the estimated 30,000 demonstrators in attendence.

CNN reported the usual spin, focusing on the small group of troublemakers who were hurling rocks rather than bringing light to why these people might be there in the first place.

i totally agree - it's difficult when the news is that they were throwing rocks, not that they actually had something to say.
On the flip side, it is frustrating that a group with enough organization to form a protest would risk loosing this exposure on international T.V. by loosing control.
Its sad to me. The usual story is that the leaders of the protests have this great plan that gets scared by a few loose cannons.
Of course - on the flip-flip side.... who knows what actions to place to aggravate the rock hurlers.
