Wasting the City! A box for a box
There it goes! The Frappant Building in Hamburg Altona is teared down to build a new City Ikea. Wide range and long protest didn't help. People are not only scared that the new massive Ikea-Store in the residential area of Hamburg-Altona will bring way more traffic into the area, but also that Ikea is part of the gentrification that starts with higher rents and ends with residential segregation. At the end of the day..a box will be replaced by an even bigger box.

A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
On April 15th 2009, many frustrated citizens protested the fiscal policy of the current administration. This protest took place in Oceanside Ca.
Also known as complete idiots. We expected there to be more of them this year, especially with the current anti-gay climate, but there were only three of them, when last year there were four.
People protest before the start of a public meeting with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Hearing Board to consider a proposed abatement order requiring Southern California Gas Co. to take various steps to contain and monitor a massive gas leak in Porter Ranch, on January 23, 2016 in Woodland Hills, California. An ongoing methane gas leak at a facility in Southern California — what’s been called “the nation’s biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill” — has officially been declared an emergency by Governor Jerry Brown. Natural gas, or methane, first started leaking from Southern California Gas Co.’s Aliso Canyon storage facility on October 23 last year. Some 2,300 homes have been evacuated in nearby Porter Ranch, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, after residents began experiencing nosebleeds, rashes, headaches and other serious health impacts due to the gas leak and the sulfur-like smell that is blanketing their community.

This protest took place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida June 5th and 6th 2005. Although the protest was inspired by George W. Bush attending the OAS meeting taking place in South Florida, the protesters had many different agendas; some of the protesters were even there in support of Bush.
The Organization of American States (OAS), or, as it is known in the three other official languages, (OEA), is an international organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Its members are the thirty-five independent states of the Americas.
The notion of closer hemispheric union in the American continent was first put forward by Simón Bolívar ("The Liberator") who, at the 1826 Congress of Panama, proposed creating a league of American republics, with a common military, a mutual defense pact, and a supranational parliamentary assembly. This meeting was attended by representatives of Gran Colombia (comprising the modern-day nations of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela), Peru, the United Provinces of Central America, and Mexico, but the grandly titled "Treaty of Union, League, and Perpetual Confederation" was ultimately only ratified by Gran Colombia. Bolívar's dream soon foundered with civil war in Gran Colombia, the disintegration of Central America, and the emergence of national rather than continental outlooks in the newly independent American republics.
A protester during a Nepal Bandh (Strike) on a middle of a road. It was only one man still vehicles were not moving on the road. It was the fear of the flag he was holding not of the man holding it.
Violence started to break out in the Circus, which was triggered when a Police van passed through the crowd. People (mainly Anarchists) started lighting bonfire, throwing quite literally everything (placards, sticks, ice-cream cones, etc.) at the police van and the police that were surrounding (and protecting) the van. Everyone was chanting at that moment

Lunchtime protests in support of rape victims
02 June 2006 17:16
Lunchtime demonstrations were organised around the country today to support victims of child abuse and rape.
The participants included the child victim of Mr A, the middle-aged man who was released from jail last Tuesday after the law under which he was jailed was ruled unconstitutional.
Demonstrations took place in Dublin, Galway, Castlebar, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Tralee, Ennis and Limerick.

Gardaí estimate that 500 people protested outside Leinster House in Dublin city centre. The organisers, however, say about 1,000 took part.
The Rape Crisis Network of Ireland asked each protestor to bring a white flower - symbolising the need to protect the innocence of children.
It asked people who could not get to these venues to bring white flowers to their own area's central courthouse or church.
The network said the ten-minute protest was the idea of a Dublin mother, Monica Roe from Cabinteely.
Ms Roe describes herself as 'mad with anger' at the Government, which she accuses of signalling to all victims that they should not bother reporting child abuse.
The network is also asking participants in Monday's Ladies Mini-Marathon in Dublin to wear a white armband or white flower in support of victims or survivors in what it calls 'these difficult days and into the future'.
Boston police arrest a Korean War veteran at a Veteran's Day service outside City Hall. About 100 people were taken into custody for disrupting the ceremony.

Taipower employees from Taipei County at a protest in front of Taipower Building, which is right across from my office. I stopped by on my way into work. These protests seem to be fairly usual these days -- a few months ago it was a nuclear waste protest, I believe this one was over employee rights and benefits.
