Athens Ohio Riot
The Athens police responded with the Athens fire department to a fire set in the middle of Palmer Street, mid-block. By 10:05 p.m., the fire was extinguished.
Units moved back to near the Hocking Valley Bank parking lot, and the fire was quickly restarted. At 10:30 p.m., police units moved down the street, and the fire department was able to once again extinguish the fire.
During both extinguishing efforts, persons on packed house and porch roofs and persons in the shadows between buildings were throwing full cans of beer and glass bottles at mounted and foot officers as well as firefighters.
That necessitated the use of full riot gear.
One officer noted that the can of beer that hit him almost knocked the wind out of him despite wearing the protective equipment.
Many other foot and mounted officers were hit by thrown objects, commenting that they couldn’t remember a time when they were hit by so many thrown objects.
Five horses were injured, and a veterinarian was called in to check them.
One horse was injured when it stepped on thrown glass, causing bleeding and the need to withdraw the horse from duty. Other horse injuries were hit between the eyes with a bottle that shattered on impact, hit above eye with a full beer can causing the eye to swell shut, hoof caught in a temporary fence, and cut above the hoof by a breaking, thrown glass bottle.
Over the past several years, the multi-house party on Palmer, commonly referred to as Palmer Fest, has been managed by mature Ohio University students, police said.
Efforts have been made by these residents, in conjunction with meetings organized by Ohio University’s Office of Off-Campus Living, to have a safe and fun Saturday.
These meetings have been attended by many students various agencies, including Ohio University police, Athens police, Athens City Code office, Athens fire department and others.
Students were advised that the police would be called to the party if there were fights/assaults, street blocking, fires or other dangerous activities.
There was one other fire started. It was behind a house on Hocking immediately behind 19 Palmer while safety forces were dealing with the fire on Palmer. Fortunately the owner’s family was able to clear people away and put the fire out.
Many police personnel remain on duty to monitor the community and try to respond to any further attempts to injure persons or damage property. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2LH0hz30nc there have been a lot of college riots

G20 Protest Police Fear Riots
Office workers face chaos next week with swaths of London in security lockdown for the G20 summit and warnings that bankers will be targeted in a series of protests aimed at causing maximum disruption.
Staff in the City are being advised to dress down and postpone non-essential meetings amid fears that they will be forced to run the gauntlet of protesters. Thousands of G20 Meltdown campaign posters show a mannequin wearing a suit being hanged, while an anarchist website has the slogan: "Burn a banker!"
Details of direct action, gleaned from chatter on anarchist websites and meetings attended by the Observer, include a rumoured plan to block the Blackwall Tunnel and cause a security scare on the London Underground by leaving bags unattended on trains. There is also speculation that protesters will drive a tank to the ExCeL conference centre in London's Docklands, where the G20 are meeting, and attempt to harass politicians with wake-up calls to their hotels in the middle of the night. None of the organisers of the peaceful demonstrations say they are aware of any such tactics.
There are growing fears for the safety of people making their way to work on 1 and 2 April. A spokesman for the London Chamber of Commerce said: "Businesses might want to consider asking their staff not to dress in a suit and tie as a lot of the protesters say they're going to target bankers. Staff should check they have their security passes and think about staggering their start and finish times. They might want to postpone for a few days meetings which aren't absolutely necessary."
Transport could also be paralysed as anti-globalisation and climate change groups stage a coordinated series of demonstrations, gathering at railway stations and marching on the Square Mile for what has been dubbed "Financial Fools Day", the biggest public show of anger at bankers since the credit crisis began. They have already been undertaking practice runs and "recces" around the City in recent days.
Anti-capitalism groups believe the recession and spiralling unemployment will encourage an uprising not seen since the poll tax riots, causing embarrassment to Gordon Brown as he hosts world leaders. Chris Knight, of the leading protest group Government of the Dead, warned: "The revolution is coming. This is our time, and I honestly believe that the army, the police, will be so intent on keeping the ExCeL centre they will lose the City of London."
Businesses are braced for losses worth millions of pounds as commuters find themselves unable to reach offices or decide to stay at home. It will be the third major disruption in recent months following the extended Christmas break and the snowfall that wrought havoc.
Campaigners have vowed that "we're going to reclaim the City, thrusting into the very belly of the beast: the Bank of England". On 1 April a coalition of radical and green groups will gather at four major London stations - Moorgate, Liverpool Street, London Bridge and Cannon Street - potentially obstructing thousands of travellers, before marching behind "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" in themed processions to a mass rally outside the bank.
A climate camp - similar to those at Heathrow airport and Kingsnorth power station in Kent - will target the European Climate Exchange at Bishopsgate. The Stop the War campaign will march on the US embassy in Grosvenor Square. Police are also expecting action to block streets, attempts to infiltrate and occupy buildings, and marches heading in several directions simultaneously.
Meanwhile, officers will mount a "ring of steel" around the ExCeL centre where the G20 meets on 2 April. Campaigners are planning to bring a giant ice block to the centre to draw attention to climate change. An "alternative summit", featuring speakers such as Tony Benn, Ken Loach and Ken Livingstone, and public protest will be held nearby.
A police operation involving more than 3,000 extra officers from six forces will cost an estimated £7.2m. Its leader, Commander Bob Broadhurst, said last week that activists are planning in an "unprecedented" way and are determined to "stop the City". He added that groups active in the late Nineties were re-emerging and forming new alliances. They are using technology such as Twitter feeds to mobilise in ways unthinkable only a decade ago.
The London Class War website has a picture of men with fire torches and the headline: "How to keep warm during the credit crunch... Burn a banker!"
The G20 Meltdown alliance insists its intentions are peaceful. It plans to stage carnivalesque parades, and a street party with theatre and samba music. But there are fears that the event could spill over into violence. Ten years ago there was mayhem in London when 4,000 people took part in a protest against Third World debt. A year later, on May Day 2000, the Cenotaph and a statue of Winston Churchill were vandalised.
The business community fears severe ramifications. Stephen Alambritis, a spokesman for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "It's very worrying that business will grind to a standstill and it sends tremors down those who intend to travel or do business. They don't need this disruption to their flow of trade and people going about their daily business."
But Billy Bragg, the singer, who will perform at the rally outside the Bank of England, said: "The City of London has been playing fast and loose with people's pensions and the time for a light touch has passed.
"There will be a lot of people out there for whom this is the first opportunity to express their anger and look for another way of doing things. The anti-globalisation movement last time was doing it in the teeth of a boom. Now capitalism has floundered and people want an alternative to what we've had."
On Saturday, Put People First, a campaign group involving the TUC and 120 other organisations, will hold a separate march and rally in Hyde Park calling on G20 world leaders to ensure decent jobs and public services for all.

Ohio Militia Training
They call themselves the Geauga County Home Guard, the third division of the Ohio Defense Force Home Guard.
What the group printed in these flyers and placed in the mailboxes of residents living on Swine Creek Road isn't exactly instilling confidence. It is scaring some to death.
Middlefield is known for it's old world culture, scenic views and peaceful living.
Lacy Fair, the single mother of Anna and four-year-old Emerald, says her serenity is about to be interrupted by militia training just two doors down.
"I don't want to be a part of this and it's in my neighborhood," Fair said.
Fair and other residents of Swine Creek Road found notices in their mailboxes Tuesday.
They read, on April 17th, armed and uniformed civilians, citizen soldiers will perform military exercises including live fire weapons training.
"You got to be kidding me and what about my kids?" Fair asked.
All this is happening at the home of new neighbor Brandon Drabek, who is also the spokesman to the Ohio Defense Home Guard.
Drabek was not home at the time and declined an on-camera interview.
The Home Guard spokesman says his organization is a militia that is pro-government.
The training is to back up the Ohio National Guard in case of emergency, Drabek said.
For a pro government organization, they are clearly anti-gun control. On Home Guard's website and another linked site, you find plenty of Second Amendment rhetoric.
"They love their guns and I love my kids," Fair said.
Fair and other neighbors are concerned with the images their kids may be subject to during training exercises, but more importantly, the possibility of a stray bullet This means If martial law was declared they would help the National guard The Carroll National Guard unit will train on urban military operations by holding a four-day exercise at Arcadia.
A concerned citizen talks about military exercises in Iowa.
The purpose of the April 2-5 drill will be to gather intelligence, then search for and apprehend a suspected weapons dealer, according to Sgt. Mike Kots, readiness NCO for Alpha Company.
Citizens, law enforcement, media and other supporters will participate.
Troops will spend Thursday, April 2, staging at a forward operations base at Carroll. The next day company leaders will conduct reconnaissance and begin patrolling the streets of Arcadia to identify possible locations of the weapons dealer.
The primary phase will be done Saturday, April 4, when convoys will be deployed from Carroll to Arcadia. Pictures of the arms dealer will be shown in Arcadia, and soldiers will go door to door asking if residents have seen the suspect lets just say april will be a busy month
