I read on CNN that some kid got himself killed rioting in Genoa. Such a waste to die young being stupid with the Italian police. I've looked at some of the websites of the anarchists, etc. that are behind these riots. Reading between the lines, these guys are following the old Abbie Hoffman dictum of "revolution for the hell of it". They're pushing political ideology that was found defective and mostly abandoned in the late 19th century. I guess these guys are tired of the soccer holligan thing or else are welfare bums with lots of time on their hands. It must be exciting dodging tear gas grenades and slugging it out with underpaid policemen. I'm glad I have a life.
