HAHA It's quite horrible. Obviously it brings you to tears, but in a massive way. Also nose starts expelin lots of crap. You get blind, like putin' your eyes wide open in a bowl of pepper. Your lungs also get damage. It becomes impossible to breath properly, or to breath at all... So you end blind and tearfull, expelin shit from every hole, runnin under a rain of conclussion grenades, and just prayin' to catch a bit of AIR... After the first hour or so, you start gettin accostumed, and it gets a little more suitable... There where "support teams" in the back of the frontline bringin' fresh water, some food, colirium, stones, medical aid and cleanin' your face. So you just gone runin' out of the gas with eyes closed and hands up shoutin' for help, someone was there to take you, clean you, feed you, say somthing nice to you, and there you go again! It was a 5 long hours blockade! |

How nice (of those helpers). Sounds very chaotic. What was the interaction between the police and you guys like? Since that website says, "the end of the blockade was decided by the demonstrators themself - without police pressure", it makes me wonder - why were they firing tear gas in the first place? Did they suddenly stop firing it after a while? |

Well, the demonstration went escorted by cops on all his way to the convention, knowing we wouldn't get there. After some kilometers, the cop line formed and started it all... Our "orders" were to block the road, so that's what we did. They started at a random point, with no provocation. In fact it was so random that lots of old hippie ladys were trapped in the first attack, so we took them out... There was no body to body fight (thank god), so it was more of a we stay here, you stay there. Throw all u have. After seven hours, there was no tactical reason to have the road closed, so we went back to the camping... And about helpers, yeah, it was fuckin' nice. There was also a legal team. Lawyers from all the globe. You went to their tent, and thry gave advice. Also gave you their number (written in your body) in case u got cought... |
