I know this doesn't go with any final fantasy or any techie subject. BUt I need work off my anger. I am really pissed off.
On May 1, 2001, 150 or so Anarchists gathered in Long Beach to make a demonstration. Without making anything disruptive, just blocking traffic, police started attacking the people. They surrounded them, and started shooting them with rubber bullets and hitting them. The scenes were recorded by the news. At the end, 90 or so people were arrested. One of them was my girlfriend. She was set on a $500 bail, and is scheduled to go to court soon. THey were arrested just because they did not have a permit to do that protest. The point is that our rights are going down the drain. One time I was with my girlfriend in the car, when a cop came. I had parked my car in a street (any street) to talk to my girlfriend (this was around 2 am). The cop treated us if we were some kind of menace. He then told us to leave. WE are not even free to park in a public place at 2 am. What is this country comming to!
