Protesters scuffle in London's financial heart

Protesters broke several dark tinted windows of a Royal Bank of Scotland building and crawled inside. They also spray-painted the word "thieves" and the anarchist symbol on the side of the building.

In France they are kidnapping their bosses.

http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2009Mar31/ ... ar,00.html
It is the third time in the past few weeks that French workers have seized their bosses to protest job losses stemming from the global economic crisis.

Last week, workers at a 3M plant south of Paris held the company boss for two days, and earlier this month workers at a Sony plant held a similar protest.

Elsewhere in a fresh incident, the mayor of the small town of Pont-Saint-Esprit in southern France was prevented from leaving city hall by townspeople angry over municipal management amid the economic downturn. Phone calls to the mayor's office went unanswered, but the local police confirmed there was a "crisis."

Several hundred workers occupied parts of the Caterpillar plant in Grenoble on Tuesday morning and detained five managers. Police later moved in to clear out the seized areas and the managers were allowed to move freely, said Chrystele Aubert, chief of communication for the regional government.

I wish that anarchists would move to Somalia so they could experience their own vision of paradise.

Then they will realize there is really no such thing as a society that is devoid of certain individuals having power over others - and that the best you can do is have a government bound by laws where all citizens are guaranteed certain rights.

That's all.
