Direct Action

2008-10-13

In the early hours of Saturday November 8th [2008] I paid a visit to the Royal Bank on Cook St. in Victoria, BC. The locks were glued, ATMs were disabled and painted, and anti-2010 and anarchist slogans were painted on the property.

On Saturday November 22 [2008], the RBC on cook st. in victoria BC was attacked. We smashed a window and shut off the gas to the building. This was done because RBC is a major sponsor of the 2010 games.

Three windows were broken at the McDonald’s at Gordon and Wellington streets late Thursday or early yesterday, Guelph Police said last night.

Damage from that and graffiti on the building is estimated at $5,000.

On Saturday the 13th December [2008] a group of anarchists smashed the windows of the RBC at Hastings and Nanaimo. We took the slogan from Greece “SOLIDARITY MEANS ATTACK” to heart.
