``Killers, killers,'' the protesters shouted as police in riot gear and with teargas canisters at the ready kept watch near the central Via del Corso. -clip-
One protester, Carlo Giuliani, 23, was killed by a police bullet when he and other demonstrators assaulted a police van.
TRIBUTE

Last weekend's demonstration in Genoa began with a huge banner reading ``You: G8, Us: 6 million.''
In a tribute to the dead protester, the banner that led the demonstration in Rome read ``You G8, Us: 5,999,999.''
The protesters demanded the resignation of Interior Minister Claudio Scajola, a senior figure in the conservative Forza Italia party led by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The opposition center-left Olive Tree bloc, which lost a general election to Berlusconi last May, has put forward a formal no-confidence motion against Scajola in parliament.

We should learn from the example set by Italian leftists.

CB: Isn't what Yoshie is saying obvious and obviously true ? Here in Detroit there was a protest of the killing and Italian police mob . "Think global and act local" is an old slogan which now seems prophetic.
