USA June 18 2000

On June 18th, a Carnival Against Capitalism took place in Eugene, USA. Billed as a ‘Historic Re-enactment’ of last year’s events, around 300 people protested on the streets. Unlike previous events, there was not a single act of property damage, yet around 600 police, plus SWAT teams, state troopers and sheriffs were called in to clear the streets in any way they wanted.

Several people were arrested, seemingly at random, and one man was shot at point-blank with 5 rubber bullets.
