With all due respect, Constable Chow, shut the fuck up

Yesterday afternoon members of the Anti-Poverty Committee staged a mock "eviction" of double-dipping BC Liberal/VANOC lackey Ken Dobell at his plush downtown Vancouver office. "These are not protesters, these are not activists, they are criminals and that's how they're going to be treated." said Vancouver Police Department Constable David Chow.

Let's go to the replay: APC members posed as floral delivery staff to gain access to the offices of our corporate overlords. How does that differ from a VPD officer posing as a 24 Hours reporter to gain access to APC leader David Cunningham? The protestors harassed and intimidated the poor suckers stupid enough to be wage slaves for B.C.'s capitalist junta, but the VPD gets away with ongoing harrassment and intimidation of the APC, and the Downtown Eastside residents they're speaking up for.

Actually, this page should stop calling the APC protestors and start calling them heroes. B.C.'s labour movement (and our party of choice, the NDP) has failed badly in living up to the motto "An injury to one is an injury to all" when it comes to a Winter Olympics with almost as many fascist overtones as the 1936 Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. They had a lot of closed door meetings, police misconduct, and people disappearing for that one too.

And for those of you media lapdogs scoring at home: it's the Anti-POVERTY Committee. Quit trying to shove the real issues aside with the term "Anti-Olympics". Most people, including this page, like the Olympics, but everybody really hates poverty, so it's obvious what the game is when you refuse to use "Anti-Poverty" in the headline. You know what really pisses this page off? The Ken Dobells and Gordon Campbells of the world using the 2010 Olympics to inflict even more poverty on the most helpless and disenfranchised in our community.
