Scoop Images: The Battle Of Genoa Day Two
The streets of Genoa are a mess this morning NZ time, strewn with the debris of hours of running battles between thousands of anti-capitalists and thousands of police for much of Friday in Genoa.
During the clashes one protestor was shot dead
and then run over, the incident was caught on camera see…

night fell and the violence subsided more than 100
protestors and police had been seriously injured. Several
vehicles were set alight in the protests, and numerous shop
fronts and roads have been torn apart. The activity on the
streets outside the “red zone” has had an impact on the G8
leaders inside the security cordon who have issued a
statement regretting the death of a protestor, and the
violence. According to reports the agenda of the Summit
has been changed for tomorrow (Saturday local time), and the
subject of whether it is worth holding summits such as this
ever again will be raised. For live coverage see http://italia.indymedia.org/.
