I would like to present this thread to report what happened here yesterday which is very "curious"... IMO:
Yesterday, May 1st, is the Italian equivalent of "Labor Day" in the US, and as such, day-long events are ususally organized to "celebrate workers" with marches where groups usually, peacefully parade with banners of all kinds: those proclaiming their "loyalty to this or that organization and, of course, those expressing their complaints of the "system" and such. Usually, there is some kind of street party/concert in the evening to calm the waters and numb the mind back to complacency.
As it were, yesterday was also the grand opening of EXPO Milan 2015 (World/ Universal Fair), located in an area just south of the huge Italian city.
Back in the city, (I just happened to be watching a live feed on the RAINews tv channel) a group of about 300 persons were marching in an organized parade through the center of the city, when an "infiltrated" group left the established roads reserved for the march, and, completely dressed in black with all facial features covered, began spray paining buildings, busting windows with clubs, destroying storefronts, parked cars, throwing fire bombs, rocks, and smoke bombs..... beasts unleashed ( or mind control?)!

The Italian police "were not" prepared for this, as they were mostly just following the crowd and were not positioned to prevent any potential disruption the crowd might do in front of them.. (duh?)
After about 2 hours of complete caos where the police were running around like ants trying to get the group of rioters surrounded, blinded by the smoke bombs as well as their own teargas bombs and smoke from burning cars, buildings and rubbish in the streets.... those rioters shed their clothes like morphing insects, dropping them all over the streets along with their "arms" such as spray paint cans, glass bottles, rocks, bamboo clubs, homemade shields, helmets and gas masks, shoes and backpacks, rubber inflatable rafts used as shields.... all over the roads and sidewalks as obstacles to delay their capture... and most of them did flee without capture. Supposedly, fifteen (15) persons were arrested.

Note that on April 29, it was announced on the news that a group of "Italians/Germans/French citizens" had been arrested as abusively occupying an apartment house in northwest Milan, and bamboo clubs, firebombs and spraycans were siezed... this group was announced as being members of a "NO EXPO" group....

From the messages left on the city's buildings, it appears they call themselves "NO EXPO" anarchics... they even have a FB account....
It was incredible watching the event unfold, and I was "shocked" by how organized these hoolagans were.... hmmmm.
One report stated that these "activists" have nothing to do with "NO EXPO" and are an international group of people who only merge with any "peaceful" event to then explode into violent rioting and distruction.... another "hmmm..."
Here's what the English media is reporting:
