bombs and shields

One of the best places to get news online is bombsandshields.
Here are some recent gems plucked from the site:

*Briana Waters, 30, of Berkeley, California was indicted on charges from the May 2001 fire that destroyed the University of Washington Center for Horticulture building, whish was claimed by the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).

*An estimated one thousand anarchists and other anti-fascist protesters, wearing motorcycle helmets and armed with iron bars, clashed with police outside the offices of a right-wing fascist group.

*Hundreds of Brazillian protesters, armed with handguns, gasoline bombs, sticks and stones, laid waste to the lobby of the headquarters of the Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (CEMIG) electric company while demonstrating against debt.

*More than 1,000 ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews flooded the streets of their New York neighborhood in a spontaneous demonstration against police brutality and harassment.
They held the streets for 4 hours, lit bonfires, injured police, and smashed windows on police cars.
