A History of Violence

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

There was a mob outside of the Threadneedle Street branch of RBS in London.

They smashed the windows and invaded the building.

The press is referring to them as anti-capitalist protesters.

Rife with apparent contradictions, this situation, an outgrowth of the generic protests of the G20 meeting, is relatively easy to analyse.

The protesters are bored, idle and ill-informed. The police are edgy, ill-informed and have developed a siege mentality.

The outcome was never bound to be good.

This is an example of a "signed-in" comment. I've authenticated to Google using my Gmail account and *The Definite Article* picks it up and tracks me as my Google identity.

I inherit the privacy settings from your identity provider, so if you only want your Google friends to see your name, then only other people who log in to their Google account and are on your Google Friends network will be able to see your name.

We're working on the same thing for Facebook, but there are definitely some issues that I may need Facebook and Six Apart to resolve.
