Blabla
not all good advice

But in doing that there's some advice which goes against all sense of solidarity with other protesters and all direct action guidelines and discussion I've ever come across. Certainly you can ask people to do something, but chasing other protesters into the road to satisfy your vision of what people should be doing, is a tactic more used by the police.
It also attributes a document to Indymedia, which is of course incorrect, though it may have been published through the open newswire.
for reference
if you've got better advice please post it

it was easy to make, i just did it in Word and chose 'save as PDF'
its not perfect, but its only intended to be given to demonstrators up for a ruckus but who have no idea of basic tactics and because of that get beaten up or arrested --- something i saw a lot on the student demos
it depends how you interpret 'chase' doesn't it. maybe i should have changed the that word (which is inherited from the Earth First guide) to something more clearly non-coercive.
moving about inside a crowd is not exactly the same as direct action, its a factor external to the actual action that provides more favourable conditions for it. so your not really sucking in people who don't want to be a part of the kettle breaking (which i would agree is not on)
