My kind of shopping spree

(from The Guardian)

A group of 200 leftwing protesters wearing balaclavas, carnival masks and bandanas over their faces, went on a “proletariat shopping spree” in a Rome hypermarket at the weekend, carrying off goods and handing them out.

They swarmed into the Panorama hypermarket on the outskirts of the Italian capital on Saturday shouting “free shopping for all.”

After failing to negotiate a 70% discount with the supermarket’s manager, the group barged loaded trolleys past cashiers and distributed the goods to a crowd outside.

Police chose not to intervene but later claimed to have identified 87 members of the group, who now face legal action.
