...never really happens. Instead, there are sudden fence-cutting attempts: Run to the fence with wire cutters, make a few snips and then get back before the uniforms arrive with Mace and clubs. If you're sophisticated, you work in teams--someone holds a tarp against the fence to keep off the Mace, while you cut through it and the fence with bolt snippers. The police don't like the scattered skirmishes--they are caged, turning around to make sure no one is doing anything on the other side, turning their night sticks and batons over and over in their...

...rumors are kind of boring. People have been arrested, and some have been injured, but you know it's really all over. Sure there will be action tomorrow--a march and a rally and some meetings and a little Mace, and some independent fence-cutting.
