Delta cops got onto the first floor of the immigrants place (Tsamadou 13), they vandalised it, hit people insiide and seriously wounded 1 member breaking a 'window' over him

Skaramanga squat threatened, people asked to support

Lets be serious, this time it was the demonstrators that fucked it up... They torched a bank not knowing that there were people inside, and this ended up dead.

Doors were locked, emergency exit padlocked with metal
Hole was made in the front window, and one 'bottle' thrown in

We live in a system where bank profits are more important than rudimentary safety systems

How do you know it was demonstrators who started the fires? You don't know do you because there is no evidence. For all you know it could have been the police or Golden dawn fascists who started the fire.

Your right, i cant be sure about who started the fire, and i hv way to many years of this to trust the media, but i also know that there are no inocents here, in any side of the barricade and i do know that accidents happen.
What is the problem in admiting you made an error? The death of this people as a result of the use of violent direct action methods does not mean in any way that such methods should not be used by the demonstrators.
We have to learn from our mistakes, and yes sometimes mistakes lead to tragedies.. There is nothing wrong in admiting it and at the same time continuing the fight.
