This was a peaceful protest that took place Friday afternoon. My hotel was one of the buildings on the right.

This couple got tear-gassed following the attack on the fence Friday afternnon. (See below).

On Friday afternoon, a large section of the fence was attacked by protestors and came down. Riot troops immediately arrived to defend the breached perimter.

Most of the protesors temporaily fled when the cops showed up. But a few stuck around to wave flags and throw things.

A second group of cops then showed up from another direction, clearing away violent protestors with tear gas.

A third detachment of counter-terrorists marches into the area.

More tear gas. We all run away. Counter-terrorists *win*.

A typically idiotic piece of anti-globalization grafitti.
