Re: Simple answer

... Essence et Lubrifiants de France? That's an oil company, no? Elf Aquitaine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_Aquitaine

No, sorry.. by ELF I meant Earth Liberation Front.. there's also Earth Liberation Army, among many others. We have a local animal rights group in my small city, I even took a trip w/ them to OTT to protest G.W. while he was down trying to get the Canada's help. After the peaceful protest, I did end up marching with a group of local and not local anarchist. Was a great time Gave cops the finger, got some cool pic.. one guy got his face busted up and I got a pic of that. I also got a black eye from there. It was crazy police in riot gear.. few smoke bombs etc good times!

While with this anarchist group, someone from the start I guess, tossed something at the police.. and then all I hear is "engage!" then all you can see is people running back but that only lasted a few seconds.

This was my first time with any anarchist group march, so I wasn't to sure what I was gonna see. We kicked over two guardrails.. which I was told was common. We were then stopped at the third guardrail.

I'm trying to also get involved with some other local action groups. We have an union group, an local guerrilla gardening group.. few other as well. I think it's very important that I support any local orgs that I can and fit my ideals also (veganism etc).
