By Michael Leidig in Vienna
AUSTRIA has given police permission to shoot protesters if violence gets out of hand at an economic summit in Salzburg this weekend.
Major Rudolf Gollia, a senior adviser to the Interior Minister, said: "We don't want a repeat of what happened in Gothenburg but we will use guns if we have to." Three demonstrators were shot and wounded by police in the Swedish city during anti-capitalist protests at the European Union summit this month.

Imagine the uproar if an anarchist or socialist publication did an article saying "Protestors warn police: we will shoot you if you use violence"
But then again, it's the story of modern democracy: One dollar, one vote.
