THE MARK OF DERO*

Paul Holman of the Metropolitan Ambulance Service on the impression made by G20 protesters:

Mr Holman, who has worked at numerous major rallies in Melbourne, including the World Economic Forum protests of 2000, said yesterday's protesters were highly organised and the most violent.

He said three police officers, two suffering bites, were taken to St Vincent's Hospital last night...

I'm just guessing they were taken to hospital to have their immunizations brought up to date.


* For any non-Australian readers, "dero" is slang for derelict.
