21.7.01: Solidarity with Genova in all mayor European cities

Angela | 20.07.2001 22:21

In all mayor European cities: People meet peacefull to show their anger about the violent incidents in Genova.

The life of a young men has been extinguished. The security forces of BerlusFinis Government have used and abused their power. All over Europe, in all mayor cities: On Saturday afternoon and evening, peaceful Sit-Ins with candels, poster and placards are beeing organised. Meeting point: The local train station.

People are invited to speak in the public what they feel, to show their anger and their sadness but also their respect for the family and friends of the killed young men and the severely wounded girl.

An other world is possible. They can kill our friends, but not our ideas. After Genova, the world will not be the same.

Let it be for non-violence.

I feel incredibly sad while I write. But, please, please, do not overlook that this young man was shot with an oval, metal object poised to be thrown into a vehicle full of Italian police. The policemen who who shot him were certainly intent on saving their comrades from possible anhihilation from, god-knows-what kind of bomb or molotov cocktail. Do not make this into something it is not! We need to look at things as they really are! For everyone's future, please. Instead, can we pledge to insistent, determined but non-violent resistance to the order we want to dissemble?

>do not make it into something it is not

well-trained men of violence (from a state that has pursue a systematic strategy of bombing its own citizens to maintain a "strategy of tension") armed with the best technologies of pacification and control are threatened by hippies with sticks, stones and metal cans. So they shoot to kill.

Let us make of this what it is.

But let us not fall to their level, because we have seen how hard it is to get up once we have fallen.

Instead, let us help the fallen up, and advance.

Oh, and next time? I think we ought to take more body-armour and helmets.  http://www.devo.com/sarin/shieldbook.pdf

And, from looking at what happens every time, police panic if you surround them. Unlike us, they can't cope with it. They lash out with ultraviolence. Try not to surround police: it gets nasty.

good luck, comrades. I have a feeling we're going to need it.
