well put. unfortunately this is not what is happening and on the media
as well on the streets the day after, the "violent protestors" are
being lynced while even the "indignados" are taking positions against
them. the whole movement is splitting against the fake issue of
violence and as Fabi says the crucial discourse around the body looses
focus. Peaceful people look like people without a body and everyone
should look like them.

this is a well trained rethoric and among other things it makes it
even impossible to talk about what is happening, since every position
gets flattened, those who will stand out will have their head chopped
by anti-terror law measures which in Italy have now become the best
argument to be discussed in parlament, where those hypocrits ministers
can finally enact their unanimity condamning the people with a body.

but they are not there to solve the problem.
they are the very root of the problem.

at the lookout for the manifestations of body, in the vast amount of
coverage covering whatever can be covered (but hardly discovering)
I've found this photo sequence of a girl under arrest, resisting and
finally freed from the police by the crowd. this is how i like to
think of bodies. liberation. http://ur1.ca/5f8jd
