lol look what happened to my store. yes, those are feces (some guy carried a bag of it around??)

Last night was nuts. I'll upload my own pictures if any of them turn out later.

American Apparel is notorious for using LA-based factories to produce all of its clothes so this doesn't even make sense, thanks rioters for sending a clear message!

Just so everyone is clear: the protesters (for the most part) weren't involved in smashing stuff, that was a separate group of people who also showed up so they could hide behind the anonymity and blend into the crowds of the, uh, peaceful protesters. Most of the trouble was caused by police telling people not to do things and then the people doing those things to antagonize the police (not a great idea when they have riot shields and riot batons).

Pretty much what we have here in the G20 is a confluence of assholes from all over the place and from all economic backgrounds doing various dickheads things because most people are jerkoffs

edit: I live in the city and while I am smart enough to figure out what they're protesting I honestly have no idea what the protesters are actually protesting (like, specifically) because 100% of the media coverage I have seen has been about a) cops arresting people or b) rioters doing shit. Thanks again mass media

edit2: I also don't care enough to do any sort of research due to a rare brain condition

The protests are about anything that people feel about protesting. I saw people protesting women's rights, falun gong, seal hunts, anti-globalization ... anything really.

Here's some more photos if you're interested

The AA was smashed by a group of dumb anarchists that took the event as an opportunity to fuck up anything they could. They smashed the window, took the mannequins, smashed a pizza store's window and then threw feces everywhere.

Most people that I saw last night were peaceful, it was great running from riot police on mdma though. The girls i was with were handing out flowers to the cops and they were mostly nice about it and put it in their vests. I don't agree with the g20 but some of the protests were really fucking stupid, especially burning police cars. I have a feeling all of my photos are going to turn out awful - i only brought a film camera and it was raining and dark when I took photos.

The feces doesn't make sense to me. I don't care who you are or what side your on, even an anarchist should know better than lowering themselves to the level of a fucking chimpanzee.
