Excellent piece of reportage - concurs pretty well with what I saw - I like the way you've backed up each statement with a photo - great if other sections of the media could take a hint

nice work

This really is the best peice of reporting I have seen on Indymedia.ie in a long time. Well done!!!! Big clap on back etc.

thanks for the pics - what really strikes me is the frontline pics by the water cannon and riot police - people dancing and smiling while being sprayed with all this water! crazy images!

It was obviously pretty chill for a lot of the time.

good article
i missed initial part of meeting with cops as was at back chatting with a 65 year old lady from mayo
up with the radical grannies

it was chilled untill the cops let rip when we turned backs and formed arm linked line and walked away from them, that was most unchilled

we can dance more and more- to diffuse tension and make more appealing
ideally everyone would participate in these actions- perhaps scare stories in mainstream worked- its up to us to get message accross about what is the reality

we need more fun non violent creative action
