Protesters clashed with riot police in central London on Wednesday ahead of the G-20 summit, breaking into the heavily guarded Royal Bank of Scotland and smashing its windows. Nearly two dozen people were arrested in multiple clashes.
Some 4,000 anarchists, anti-capitalists, environmentalists and others clogged the streets of London’s financial district for what demonstrators branded “Financial Fool’s Day.” The protests were called ahead of Thursday’s summit of world leaders, who hope to take concrete steps to resolve the global financial crisis that has lashed nations and workers worldwide.

A mom let her 10 year old son walk, in broad daylight, to his soccer practice 1/3 mile away from home. It was a route they’d driven many times before. He’d walked around the neighborhood many times before.
I had to be at the field myself 15 minutes after practice started, so I gave him my cell phone and told him I would be there to check that he made it and sent him off. He got 3 blocks and a police car intercepted him. The police came to my house — after I had left — and spoke with my younger children (who were home with Grandma). They then found me at the soccer field and proceeded to tell me how I could be charged with child endangerment. They said they had gotten “hundreds” of calls to 911 about him walking.
The rampant hysteria that everyone seems to be possessed with today is appalling. While we should ensure the safety of our children, there is no need to be so over-protective that children can no longer be children.

From reddit, you can follow a link to twitter where it’s been revealed by wikileaks that the owner of the domain wikileaks.de has had his home raided.
According to the search protocol the reason for the search is “distribution of pornographic material” and “discovery of evidence”. Police claim the raid was initiated due to Mr. Reppe’s position as the Wikileaks.de domain owner.
Police did not want to give any further information to Mr. Reppe and no contact was made with Wikileaks before the search. It is therefore not totally clear why the search was made, however Wikileaks, in its role as a defender of press freedoms, has published censorship lists for Australia, Thailand, Denmark and other countries that include links to pornographic sites.
