Anti-WTOers, strange coalition of rightniks and leftniks. Sort of like the y2k gang.

Seattle declares Civil Emergency, sets 7/p curfew, calls in troops. Clinton due to arrive tomorrow. And the whole world is watching.

a 31-day PREVIEW, folks, while everything's still up & purrrrrrrring.

According to the local news for the last 3 days, Klinton arrives tonight (don't know the time) at Boeing Field. Maybe he better spend the night on the plane.

The Seattle police are using rubber and plastic bullets on the protesters, news says street is littered with them. Tear gas canisters have hit people, don't know about injuries yet.

There is also specific news that the vandals are NOT the regular demonstrators, they are here specifically to cause mayhem, they are joined by local gangs that are 'tagging' the buildings downtown. This reflects badly on the peaceful demonstrators, but some news stations are making the distinction!

Seattle is declared a civil emergency, 300 State Patrol officers are joining Seattle police, as well as 2 units of the National Guard, due here in the morning. This is unbelievable, and yet, it sets the stage for everything I know is possible to happen with Y2K.
