BLACK BLOC NOT SURPRISING (letter to the editor by Dennis Ryan)

Re: anatomy of the G20: what went wrong


Any analysis of the G20 summit seems to paint the Black Bloc somewhere between anarchists and thugs.
But, in reality, it's much worse:
these are young people who have lost faith in present day government and economy. AND WHO CAN BLAME THEM?

Remember the sub-prime fiasco, the greed that prompted it, the financial institutions that fell with too many innocent victims, the massive bailout by taxpayers, further insulted by the bonuses that were paid out?

ARE WE SURPRISED THAT A GROUP LIKE THE BLACK BLOC EXISTS?
I'm not.

AMEN, DENNIS!
