RTS - Asthma Attack.

He collapsed a few minutes before this, as the crowd started to run around the corner away from the police. I saw his friends stop to pick him up so I moved with the crowd, when I returned it appeared that the police were dragging him across the footpath, and they proceeded to search him as his friends were shouting "He's an asthmatic!" ... perhaps they were looking for his Ventolin puffer? That's not a regular first aid recovery position, anyways ... he appeared to have recovered before the ambulance arrived. I don't know what happened to him after that.

31st of August, 2005 - the protest against the Forbes Global C.E.O. Conference continued with various smaller actions the day after the opening of the conference. About a hundred people gathered at Town Hall for a Reclaim The Streets protest, with numbers doubling as it moved around town and visited a couple of satellite protests. Reclaim The Streets is a collective which tries to promote alternatives to car and oil dependence by taking to the streets with sound systems for a street party. The party did not happen this day.
