I was at the summit protests, but not consistently near the security perimeter -- I saw the road that was going down pretty fast. People at flashpoints had been asked to disperse an hour before the gas really started flying. "Please leave the area or we will be forced to use methods to make you disperse" is pretty straightforward to me. Here's how a short conversation with someone I met on the bus ride there went. (his name was Matt or some shit I think)
"So they told you all to leave or they'd gas you?"
"Told us twice actually"
"And you stayed after they said this why?"
"We didn't think they'd actually do it."
"People all around you were throwing shit at the fucking fence. What did you expect?"

LOL thats so funny, you trying to convey the summit of the americas in one sound bite that says cops warned people they would be gassed. Again, if you would have been there, you would know why im laughing, because its so absurd. So where do you come from? Are you a young conservative, whats your angle on trying to portray things this way? Come on just for my reading pleasure, its just some little EQemu forum, not alot of people will read it. Because fuck me if im going to beleive you came from Ontario or the US to protest and you just packed your shit up once the police started shitting on the Canadian charter of rights and freedom.
