    I was going to protest but I heard rumblings that this shit was going to go down days before anything happened, so I abstained

    Being caught up in a riot would not be fun.
    You heard rumblings?

    Cass, every single protest of an international summit turns to a riot. Every single one. Every damn time. It's as predictable as the sun rising.

    Why don't they just video-conference the damn thing.

    Or as someone in the Canadian politics thread said, hold it on cruise ships or a abandoned oil rig in the middle of the ocean where no one can get to it.

    those solutions don't result in a lot of dead anarchistic protesters worried about something that isn't happening and protesting it by destroying shit.

    Because then there'd be some idiot protesters with boats

    and then you can't just tear gas them and beat them over the head with truncheons

    your options are basically 1. shoot them a little 2. shoot them a lot

    To clarify I was going to stick with a group of people

    then I heard that the people I was planning to go with were planning on throwing some bricks "if someone else started it"

    Suddenly I had pressing engagements elsewhere

    So I think the annoying woman that sits behind me was messing with my computer when I was gone.

    I walked away with the desktop up.
    Go on the mail run
    Come back and Outlook is up on my screen.

    Hmmmmmm.

    She's already been caught sending an e-mail from another user's log in. But my boss won't do anything about it because it was reported a day or two later and I wasn't able to catch her.

    Yeah, but to go further: nobody is going to get very upset about a boatload of dickheads ignoring repeated warnings of "stop or we will fire" and getting blown out of the water. Compare with the police beating down anyone in arm's reach.

    That's not a good excuse for someone snooping on my computer though. Especially someone that's not a manager or supervisor, but a co-worker. It's still an invasion of privacy, especially considering the work that I do is supposed to be for my eyes only. I've been sitting at this same desk for over 3 years and I haven't had an issue until this woman showed up.

    My other point of evidence is that these PCs turn off their monitor after 10 minutes and auto lock after 15 minutes of inactivity. I was gone for 20. It was unlocked and the monitor was still on.

    And Duna, I did. Nothing, unfortunately.

    I told my boss if he doesn't do something about it, I will. And if I do, it won't be pretty.

    what you do is, you take a boat, then you go out into the ocean for a while

    after a few days you'll be in the middle of the ocean

    Aroused bull: Oh yes they'd be upset. They'd be so very very upset. Because if they in fact weren't terrorists everyone would say "they shot unarmed protesters!" ignoring the fact that it's like shooting a bear that was charging you to give you a hug
