That would have happened anyway, and if something hadn't happened, it's evens something would have been manufactured. Lightbulbs filled with ammonia, anyone?

i) The BBC preferentially covers protests with a little aggro.*
ii) Any decent-sized protest is going to involve a wee bit of aggro at some point from those 'bad elements'. The media will tend to talk about a 'naughty minority', but this implies a 'reasonable majority'.
iii) This gives you the opportunity to put your point across.

Which other forum are you posting on?

Are these the people you said you would support?
Why do you think the far-left hasn't got anywhere? On a good day they manage to smash a few windows, most of the time they sit around on web forums wanking about the last time the did an 'action' or debating obscure political theory.

How would you make a difference then?
I thought Lightbulbs filled with ammonia was a euphemism for bottles of piss.

Not for the first time, I'll have to ask you to not put words in my mouth, thanks all the same.
No, because the specific nature of the attacks on specific businesses that symbolise a wider problem (note how well-targeted much of the vandalism has been) is drawing unwanted attention to those businesses.
What people?

Don't forget those preparing for a massacre in the May elections.

They get about as far as the not so left with less smashed windows. lets all just forget about it - you cant change things people, youre wasting your time.
Yes I'll support anyone who gets made a victim of police mistreatment. The plod seemed pretty laid back about the whole affair from an outsiders point of view. I was arguing with some people saying how stupid May's call for new police powers were though. Typical reactionary shite from the Home Sec.

I thought he said he'd defend peaceful protesters.
Moon you used to be an anarchist. What has amazed me throughout all of your political "journey" is how little empathy you now have for people who used to be your mates ??

Well, assuming that a bright kid from the sticks would need it explained to them, see my post #1272.
Ah ok, cheers for clarifying that for me, I was starting to wonder whether I was actually being charged with aggravated trespass, but tbh the actual naming of the offence sounds less serious so I'll stick to that when talking to my employer
I am thinking of suing the police, legal advice pending of course, if I have a case I will definitely do it and put any compo into a solidarity fund for protestors, as I'm sure everyone else will
no worries. I reckon you'll do absolutely fine out of this. There's so many elements to the offence that haven't been established and proving 'intent' is always a difficult job for the prosecution, plus the video footage you got pretty much everything on your side.
Good luck on the 12th, let us know how it goes.

He's never been an anarchist. Posh kid, playing at rebelling. Always been a liberal.
Fair enough, I have respect for anyone who is prepared to try and change things through the ballot box.

No, the police claimed that lightbulbs filled with ammonia were thrown at them.
Piss contains very little ammonia (about 3% IIRC), so is a lot less harmful than ammonia.

Now there's a surprise. Mythical snooker balls, mythical lightbulbs and now mythical petrol bombs.
What next, mythical zip-guns?
Yea real posh with a single parent working mother. Moon was born with a silver spoon his mouth.
