Lies, Lies, and Molotov Cocktails
by Guy Debord 9:11am Mon Apr 17 '00 |
|
|
Apparently the police are telling reporters most of the people they are arresting this morning had molotov cocktails in their backpacks. Yesterday I only saw one person throwing a molotov cocktail...so it makes me wonder how they'd know this beforehand if 40+ other people weren't using molotov cocktails supposedly in their backpacks. Can we seriously believe they
were able to look through everyone's packpacks and then mark those people for arrest later?
They used the same reason for shutting down the convergence center after first saying there was a gas leak and was therefore a fire hazard. |
