Video of British Protesters smashing cars...NOT at the union protests
The Guardian just posted this video of protesters attacking but this is NOT at the union demonstration but nearby. I'm sure the right wing press will show just these clips to make the unions look bad!

1. They've really been emphasizing the violence on
M$NBComcast. I think it's time to write letters.

2. The Union crews
kept themselves to themselves in the park. Our tv news here hase been making the distinction between them and the anarchists since lunchtime.

3. as the story says............
Violence flared away from the rally when a group of hundreds of activists, not connected with the union protest, clashed with police. They set off fireworks, threw paint and attacked shops in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Piccadilly.

Topshop and HSBC had their windows smashed, while paint and glass bottles were thrown at a Royal Bank of Scotland branch.

Covering their faces with scarves, they fought with police and disrupted traffic, throwing lightbulbs filled with ammonia at officers and lighting a fire.
