The anti-olympic folks are some of the same anti-apec, anti-globalization, and the pro-hockey riot, rent-a-crowd. There is a anarchist agitator group that will use this to disrupt and loot and I do believe these are the people the police are most worried about. How they can be stopped before they act is the dilema in an open society.
Perhaps Srg. Pepper hasn't retired yet?
Your right for the most part, I'm sure there a few sensable folks opposed to the Olympics as well but the majority are anarchists and the same idiots we see on the news protesting the G8 and other such summits. (Notice how they almost always wear masks?)
I have no liking for anarchists, for the most part they are against any sort of organization, especially government, yet they sure seem to enjoy the benifits of what they protest against, they all have ipods and home computers made by sony with an intel inside logo on them, they listen to their punk rock distributed by major record labels and wear designer clothes with anti establishment slogans on them.
Granted they have caused trouble at other events but some of the measures I've heard about are just rediculous in relation to these olympics, we do live in Canada and regardless of the IOC or polliticians free speach still has a place ANYWHERE in our country, weather I agree wiht whats being said or not.
