what do we want? eventual change! when do we want it? someday!
I went to this street medic training where we did protest scenarios, some people acting as protesters, others cops, and others medics. I was a protester during the last scenario, which was supposed to be black bloc/Miami/crazy intense protest-y. our chant was "what do we want? SCENE POINTS! what do we want? MYSPACE FRIENDS! what do we want? TO BE TOUGH GUYS!"
the "cops" had a hard time attacking us because they kept laughing.
a friend of mine has an idea wherein about a third of the protesters go up to the line of cops and say things like, "you know, this is ridiculous, isn't it? there are so many more important things you guys could be doing, so much bigger shit to worry about than a handful of anarchists, you know? don't you think this is distracting you from the real threats?"
...at which point the rest of the protesters, in full zombie outfit, stumble forth from the mist. "see? THERE'S MORE IMPORTANT SHIT TO WORRY ABOUT! THE FUCKING UNDEAD ARE HERE!"
p.s. sorry you're not as content in new york as you'd hoped to be...
