They didn't know how to handle it

Not sure why they moved in so hard when they did, given that they'd let us have the run of the city for so long. Maybe they'd been waiting for instruction from above, maybe they simply didn't have the man power to take on so many and were waiting for the crowd to thin and for an opportunity to split us up. Maybe they started to think that they were in danger of completely losing control:-)
There's always the possibility that they just didn't have a clue what they were doing.
Given all that they did lash out very hard at people who had been entirely peaceful (even if a little bit disobedient!) Hope the injured fella was okay after.

well who would have thought......?

i've never seen such a diverse bunch of people at a demo "ever", people of all ages, from a few months old to war veterans, many races and religions, all under the banner of opposition to this illegal war.
whilst sat on my arse, i kept looking around gawping, i always knew cardiff had it in 'em.
really fantastic night, shame those pesky peeps in the funny yellow jackets have to always spoil people's fun though......
....it's been suggested on the other cardiff related thread that we should plan a similair action next week, i have to agree. time for prep etc, will, i think, be greatly appreciated by many of those concerned....
anyhoo.....
"WELL DONE!!!!!!!!" xxxxxxxxx.
