Violence breeds violence, police brutality is just not on, shouldn't be!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 3:44pm

Some call for police to stop investigating police, others call for just common decency, when will police be brought into line with the rest of us, and for their sakes too, in being held accountable for behaviour that just makes it too difficult for us to trust in each other?

Occupy Sydney has been present in Martin Place almost
continuously since 15 October 2011. A crucial part of the occupation is open public discussion of issues concerning humanity and the planet. Some of these discussions are organised into a ‘Free School’, held on most Saturday afternoons.

Free School is:

A space for honest, frank and respectful discussion and the
building of solidarity amongst participants

Open for everyone to present or join sessions and workshops

A collective way to address questions about Occupy Sydney's
directions and purposes

Anarchist Vandals salute Lambros Foundas

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 2:45am

In the early hours of the 10th of March, exactly two years since Lambros Foundas was gunned down by uniformed pigs in the street of Athens, some anarchist vandals targeted the Marrickville branch of the Beirut Hellenic Bank.

We sprayed "BURN BANKS" "FOR LAMBROS" "FOR SOCIAL REVOLUTION" on the windows of the bank, put superglue in the ATM card slots and covered the screens with paint.
