Police have released images of 28 "people of interest" as they tighten the net on activists wanted over the G20 protests in Melbourne.

Police from Taskforce Salver are reviewing thousands of hours of video footage and more than 10,000 images of the protests as they hunt alleged offenders.

Images of 28 people, some wearing face scarves, were released today with police calling on the public for help. Iamges were from a variety of sources and quality -including some from mobile phone cameras

Seems there are some blocktards in there, but we mustn't assume anything, innocent till proven guilty.

Anyone at the protest who wasn't violent has my full support. That includes 98% of the protesters, and 95% of the police. While I shed no tears that the police are tracking down blocktards, I wonder whether any kind of investigation into the excessive use of police force at various occasions (especially vicious beating of that poor girl at the museum) is being investigated at all. Seems that when the police do wrong, it's never investigated, as shown by the lack of closure on police violence at the S11 protests and now the violence at these.

The lesson to be learned here is that violence is a pretty shitty tactic and should not be included at all in the "diversity of tactics" mantra. The blockheads have managed to disempower all the other protesters by turning this into a circus looking for the violent radicals. Now the issues of environment, exploitation and the perversion of democracy by capital have been drowned out by smashing cars and hurting people.

Nice work you pathetic shitbags.

Funny that the protest organisers were slagging off the make poverty history campaign for being weak in their speeches and yet they have allowed their own protest to be totally drowned out by the violence of the blocktards (whom they didn't really speak out against in any meaningful way). I would say that despite the middle class guilt ridden aspects of make poverty history it's a made more of a difference than tacitly condoning a bunch of anti-social loons with face masks on to run riot and be violent. Does this violence speak well of what these people would be like after they overthrow the state?

"Seems that when the police do wrong, it's never investigated..."

You mean like when one of them sells drugs?

http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2006/s1768546.htm

Or when one of them drives pissed and crashes his police car?

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/07/1046826530913.html

Or when some of them allegedly bash someone in custody?

Or do you mean when some of them associate with criminals inappropriately?

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21025441-2,00.html

You mean like all of those examples of when police have been investigated for doing the wrong thing?

I see what you mean.

Anyways now you know the game don't play it any longer simple as that.

Best is to go find our space and promote peace.

There space with their rule of law is jail.

Times have also changed and their rule of law as I knew it is not their rule of law as we all know it now, PNAC is running the show didn't you know?

So unless there is more force in what you've got they've got the force.

But of course the ants have the power but where are your ants? Build it and they will come. Find our space next time and protest there and away from their institutions.

They will kill you and they have no mercy and that's it. They are your mortal enemy. Better the devil you know. But now you know how evil they are then think of how many fantastic ideas you can come up with through the back door, if you know what I mean.

It's not always good to stand out in the crowd yelling and screaming.

I will give you a scenario that I learned it goes like this:

Mission Impossible

I am your friend you think. You believe me and I offer you a great deal.

I say to you here is a package that I want you to deliver to my friend. Here is a chopper and a pilot. Please take this to an Island and deliver it to my other friend and I will ensure that you get whatever it is you want?

You say thanks friend and there you are in the chopper flying to the island.

You get to parachute down with the package the instructions for delivery you are told are in the package just press the button and receive the instructions when you land.

On landing you press the button and you get a taped message.

It's from the person who sent you and it says, sorry about this but you're really not my friend I heard you were going to do me out of my inheritance. You scum bag I sent you to your death because I want it all. There is a sniper on the Island and he's going to take you out sooner or later, good by.

Shit what are you going to do?

Most people say I don't know?

I should inform you though that you should duck!

Where did you go wrong?

You're pretty smart?

What about if you don't tell people that you don't like them when you know that they don't like you first?

What does that mean? It means that you don't give your enemy first shot!

If people know that you don't like them then they will shoot you first.

So you've no need to tell people that you don't like them just don't like them. Then you get first shot! Of course you're not trying to kill them but you get first shot at what it is that you're trying to stop them from taking or destroying.

So the protest thing just tells them you don't like them and because they know it and they have unlimited power then they take first shot. Click,they take your picture then they know you're the enemy and they get the second shot, Click the Age newspaper to spoil you so they can take you out with the third shot Click their rule of law and then the fourth shot, Click their gulag and then Click you never get a job or a career ever again. Or if you're mighty unlucky Click someone kills you in prison before you get out.

That's why there is more than one way to skin a cat and better the devil you know. One of them is the police and the other is definitely the Age Newspaper! No buts about it the Age Newspaper is your mortal enemy too!

Of course it's not good to do this with your family or loved ones. But for strangers and authorities and corporate newspapers it is. It could even save your life.

If you tell someone you don't like them then they get first move.

Now how can you get them first without them knowing it? Mmmm

Mission becomes possible and guess what no one knows except you that is if you know how to keep a secret. Remember too that a secret is only a secret if you tell someone.

So if you have a secret don't tell anyone and it will always be a secret.

Happy hunting!

Am I imagining it, but is that a rolled gold fuckwit immediately above?

Remember too that a secret is only a secret if you don't tell anyone. So if you have a secret don't tell anyone and it will always be a secret.

My error!
