 I think that if people were to actually do that, it would be a bad image for 
anarchists and all the protesters. Remember what happened at Seattle. People 
fought back in self-defense and the media still painted the picture of "nasty 
anarchists." So, I think that measures should be taken to avoid another 
Seattle. For that will be just another opportunity for the media to reinforce 
the images of "nasty anarchists."
