Brief thoughts on yesterday's HULK SMASH events.

I really wanted the seeming excess of police in riot gear with fancy new toys and new search and arrest rights to prove to be a giant, super-expensive overreaction. Way to ruin it for everyone, window-smashing, fire-setting, stone-throwing assholes. And way to take all the press away from protesters who actually had valid messages to communicate. Nice work out there today. Real nice.
