STOP NATO: �NO PASARAN! - HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --------------------------- ListBot Sponsor -------------------------- Start Your Own FREE Email List at http://www.listbot.com/links/joinlb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [It is no secret in Yugoslavia that much of the anti-Milosevic "youth movement" counted on a minority of far-right wing neo-Nazi youths and soccer hooligans as the shock-troops for the more "legitimate" protests of the DOS and OTPOR (whose organizations were filled with these types). This neo-Nazi minority in Serbia even celebrates the quisling occupation figures like Nedic, Ljotic and ZBOR of WWII that did so much to decimate Serbia and her people. Now we find these same thugs, who were lionized by the Western press, showing the new "tolerence" of new and improved YugNoslAviaTO Inc. that has improved its pliancy with the global marketplace on its slick new DOS-operating software. Nonetheless, the article manages to leave out these lines of responsibility for this hate-crime and turn it into yet another reason to "deprogram" the Serbs...] Protesters attack Yugoslav Gay Pride march BELGRADE, June 30 (Reuters) - A Gay Pride march through the centre of the Yugoslav capital Belgrade degenerated into violence on Saturday when activists were attacked by counter-protesters. Police fired several shots in the air to disperse the crowd of attackers who kicked and beat marchers while chanting "Death to Homosexuals!" and the nationalist rallying cry "Serbia!" [hmmm...this is a funny insertion with two purposes: 1) it leaves the impression that those "nationalists" we all know are behind Milosevic were responsible for this display of intolerence, 2) that chanting your countries name is just as big of a hate crime, especially if that country happens to be Serbia, as chanting "Death to Homosexuals" ] Supporters of several Belgrade soccer clubs who have a history of violence announced in advance that they would try to disrupt the march. "It is obvious that we, as a community, have not matured enough [there we go again, B-92 turning this into yet another deficiency of not a few cooks and cranks but an entire society] for such an expression of our, so to speak, oddity...or sexual preferences," Belgrade police chief Bosko Buha told the city's B-92 radio station. The total number of pro- and anti-gay demonstrators amounted to several hundred [obviously from this last line, the whole thing was a minor incident, but it didn't stop the wires from making a comment on the "maturity" of the Serbian and Yugoslavian "communtiy"]. 12:16 06-30-01 ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
