When the OAS was here in 2000 it was a big deal with tonnes of police and thousands of filthy white hippie trash. We got to roam around with OPP partners in packs of 16, and had a great time. The one time I actually talked to a kid, it was painfully apparent that he had no idea why he was there. But he new for a damn certainty "NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE". He couldn't even define what the NO JUSTICE part meant, was not sure about the NO PEACE, and generally came off like you would imagine.
If you get one of these dinks alone in a discussion, the easiest way to shut them up is ask them for solutions. They don't usually have much more that a few paragraphs of rhetoric. If you happen upon one of the leaders, they have a few extra Noam Chomsky quotes, and they usually will bail pretty quickly, since you will obviously be displaying yourself as part of the capitalist oil-for-blood war mongering machine and can't be reasoned with.
Okay, so when is the next hippie rally and where? We should go, tag up for some pints, then grab some parachute pants and Grateful Dead t-shirts and go be a pain in the ***. Maybe make some signs like on the ProtestWarrior site. It would be a blast! Then hang back and watch the local PD break some skulls keep the protest orderly, then go for a few more pints.
Plan?
