Please explain why someone took enough flammable fuel and glass bottles to
create at least one, if not two or more petrol bombs on a peaceful march.
I'd say he was provoking the police.
Nobody was forced to stand outside the Millbank Tower, shove their way thru
a line of police and then kick the windows in and stand on the top of the
building. The march was going past the building unstopped. Nobody was forced
to spray paint and smash up a police vehicle or to try and turn it over.
Nobody was forced to throw sticks and stones at the police line, but they
did.
From what I can tell a good number of the marchers went out seeking
confrontation and they got it, thus involving many other innocent
protestors. It might have made for great headlines but perhaps the
protestors' next move should be to try peaceful tactics as advocated by
Gandhi et al.
