On the evening of Sat., Dec. 20 - as part of an international day of action, called out by Greek anarchist groups - 200 people took to the streets of San Francisco to protest against police violence, the erosion of public space, and the ridiculous spectacle of consumerism that is the Christmas season. In the subsequent march, five people were arrested.

trying hard to be inspired by your media, but I just can't. Seriously, what ABOUT "the revolution will not be televised"? you are attempting to compete with the supreme organizer of appearances, and the competition itself is embarrassing. Perhaps if you were yourself ever beat down by the police or spent time in jail you would not waste time trying to make heros of the "brave arrestees." Most of those skinny dudes would do better to join a boxing club than to take on the cops on the cops' terms. Please mr. media man, jerk off to something else.
