Hamburg was on fire last weekend, but the majority of people chose a peaceful way to show their protest. One of them was the rave against G20 with the lovely german name "Lieber tanz ich als G20". 25,000 people dancing and protesting against injustice; spreading love to the beat. Now on my blog: www.zielecki.com/blog/g20-protests-lieber-tanz-ich-als-g20

The pic of my son poking his head through an otter head hole, with the private bits of the otter next to him pixelated has been removed from Explore in the infinite wisdom of Flickr reacting to the censorship issues involving our friends from Germany, Singapore, Korea and China. Ah well, so it goes...

“On the evening of May 4, 1886, a tragedy of international significance unfolded in Chicago’s Haymarket produce district. An outdoor meeting had been hastily organized by anarchist activists to protest the violent death of workers during a labor lockout the previous day in another area of the city.
Spectators gathered in the street as speakers addressed political, social and labor issues from atop a freight wagon from the adjacent factory. When approximately 175 policemen approached with an order to disperse the meeting, a dynamite bomb was thrown into their ranks.
The identity and affiliation of the person who threw the bomb have never been determined; this anonymous act had many victims. From the blast and panic that followed, seven policemen and at least four civilian bystanders lost their lives, but the victims of the incident were not limited to those who died as a direct result of the bombing. In the aftermath, those who organized and spoke at the meeting – and others who held unpopular political viewpoints – were arrested, unfairly tried and, in some cases, sentenced to death even though none could be tied to the bombing itself.
Meeting organizers George Engel and Adolf Fisher along with speakers August Spies and Albert Parsons were put to death by hanging. Activist Louis Lingg died violently in jail prior to his scheduled execution. Meeting speaker Samuel Fielden, and activists Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab were sentenced to prison, but later pardoned in 1893 bu Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld, citing the injustices of their trial.
Over the years, the site of the Haymarket bombing has become a powerful symbol for a diverse cross-section of people, ideals and movements. Its significance touches on the issues of free speech, the right of public assembly, organized labor, the fight for the eight hour work day, law enforcement, justice, anarchy and the right of every human being to pursue an equitable and prosperous life. For all, it is a poignant lesson in the rewards and consequences inherent in such human pursuits..”
The rally and march were in protest of a federal appeals court ruling earlier this week that Kamehameha Schools' practice of giving admissions preference to students of Hawaiian blood violates federal civil rights laws, first passed in 1866, barring private institutions from discriminating on the basis of race. -Honolulu Advertiser
Gorgeous protesters taking part in Somaliland demo, London, 22.02.2012.
Surprisingly, there is a video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxJHNsH3yeU on youtube related to this event .
This was the recent anti lockdown protest on Saturday. It was reported about twenty people were arrested including Piers Corbyn, Jeremy’s brother.
There were about a dozen of police mounted horses, 15-20 police vans and approximately 200 police officers handling a small group of protesters.
As I was about to call it a day suddenly there was a commotion. Police officers rushed to the scene from all corners. This was wrestling with police officers on the ground shouting in pain. Four police officers held him to the ground. There were about a dozen officers forming a couple of rings including a police mounted horse.
This man was held down for sometime before he was carried away which I will post the photo later.
The protesters and people who were enjoying the park at Speakers’ Corner were dispersed. This is actually a place for people to air their views. Perhaps, it has hit the nerve somewhere.....🤔💭

I am protesting. I am wearing this Just Because demo to protest time zones. I read that Fameshed was opening at noon. Where I live it is now 1pm. Yes, I could have realized that it's noon SLT, but I am still going to protest time zones. I think with some clever scripting it should be possible for those in the eastern US to get in early and get our shopping done. Come on scripters, make this happen! In the meantime, I'm wearing a demo until (checks watch) 3pm.

In a small village on National Highway 1, very near the Line of Control, between Drass and Kargil the villagers were in the middle of a sit down protest.
The reason for this was that they had been stopped from farming on the land behind their village as it was too close to the LIne of Control and therefore rather dangerous. They were not happy so they just all sat down on the highway, the main link between Srinagar and Leh. An official was summoned all the way from Srinagar, many hours away.
We were all stuck there until he arrived with his entourage. He talked to the villagers and within 10 minutes they all got up and let the traffic through.

Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
Protests for education reform to be held in fifteen Hungarian towns

This is my little protest of the current issue affecting Flickr users. This week I noticed I was not seeing all of my contacts' recent uploads, nor were they seeing mine. I notified Flickr staff who said it is a known problem and the engineers are working on a long-term fix. They also said they didn't know how long it would take. Good grief, sharing photos is the heart and soul of Flickr!
They were able to "rebuild" my Activity Feed so it is currently showing my contacts' uploads. Fingers crossed it stays that way and they can fix the site-wide problem ASAP.
ETA: I'm still not getting all of the new uploads in my Activity Feed. I'm having to go look individually. : (

Watching protesters infront of Harrow Central Mosque in the distance.
Stop the Islamisation of Europe called for a demonstration outside Harrow Mosque in North West London to coincide with evening prayers on Friday September 11th. The protest was also being promoted by the English Defence League who have repeatedly clashed with Muslims and Anti-fascists in recent months. A counter demonstration was called by Unite Against Fascism.
About 1000 counter demonstrators gathered to protect the Mosque during the afternoon. Police ordered Stop the Islamisation of Europe to call of the protest to prevent violence.
A small group (less than 20) of English Defence League protesters were chased from the area by the counter demonstrators and were escorted away by the Police.
Frustrated elements of the crowd then turned on the Police resulting in a few skirmishes with bottles, stones and firecrackers being thrown. Other sections of the protesters eventually restrained these elements and by about 7.30 in the evening the crowd had started to disperse.
There were 10 arrests reported.

The We're Here! gang is protesting today.
I did actually have the last piece of chocolate from the package I'm holing up IN my mouth...but you'll just have to take my word for it.

She was sitting on the music truck, illuminated by a giant disco ball in the back. Glitter in her hair, beat in her heart - she was going with the flow. The day turned into night and the first protest march against G20 ended like the rest should have been - in peace.
Since the election of president elect Trump a 'post-it protest' has been created by concerned commuters.
One man and his flag - anti-immigration protestors pass a counter demonstration by pro-immigration protestors in Dublin, separated by riot police.
Leaving work, I spotted this protest in the rain by teachers against the education cuts imposed by the Government. Education is important because from that all else flows. It was once said of Thatcher that she put a price on everything and valued nothing. It seems we are back in those days. I support the protest
