Honestly nobody knows or was really effected into action by the peaceful protesters last week.

The ones making the biggest noise were the ones that got the attention in Toronto and it was hugely negative.

The Black Bloc ruined any chance for peaceful discourse about the issues that were being protested. the Anti-Capitalist-League (I think thats their official name) stood by and cheered the black bloc and egged them on, and were fine with the destruction of business property. The nutcase cases were documented by the media and others because they were hilarious in their own way. But nobody really got any attention if they were marching for causes based around human rights or poverty issues because the focus was elsewhere.

If the protesters for these issues were smart they would have either self policed themselves, when they saw Black Bloc members trying to blend back in they should have dragged them down and hauled them to the cops, when they saw those idiots wrecking the police car or damaging property they should have done the above. Then the other issues would have gotten some air time and attention.

Violent protesters are either doing it for the thrill of it and in the words of Michael Caine they just want to watch the world burn. But the side effect is that they effectively silence the other protesters.
