G8, The antiauthoritarians story: This is How We Do It

12-07-2005 11:07 | G8 2005 | World

From the beginning there was no well-thought-out master plan for
shutting down the G8 Summit at Gleneagles. In fact, some of
us even dubbed the march we were about to embark on "The
Suicide March". At three in the morning, a large group of
militants dressed in black slipped into the darkness of the
night as the first rain of many days dumped down on them.
The air was thick with the eerie presence of a thousand
determined individuals beginning to walk along the deathly
still road. Besides the occasional attempt at a chant the group
was quiet, perhaps reconsidering the slim probability of
success. Five miles and a heavy police presence stretched
before us and our only destination in sight: Motorway 9 (M9).
This motorway was one of the crucial motorways that
delegates and support staff to the G8 Summit expected to
travel down in a few hours.
