A lot of protests took place around the city's centre, around parliament, we did have some violence riot at this time, and it started with protesters throwing Molotov cocktails 1, and the police so responding, things escalated 2 for a while, and the parliament minister is getting attacked by a group of protesters as he was leaving the parliament. This was one of the largest protests that we had in a long time. It's the 7th general strike, so far this year, a lot of angry and a number of others uh, that we have government speak, since this summer. The reason for that seems to be the new labor 3 laws.

I don't think anything was going through my mind except the fact that this guy was sitting ducks, they were lined up like pigeons on the wire and I couldn't leave them without trying to at least divert or somehow or other diffused 12 situation, or just buy some time until Mike Jones, bless his heart, could get there to help us out.

And It is astounding 13, just the scale of this first of all, more than half a billion people, about 1 in 12 people on the planet, of almost half Americans are Facebook accounts, Uh, it's not just the scale, but the depth to which Facebook has affected 14 people's life, uh, I think he had the sense of the kind of change he want to make in the world, and uh, I think he hope the Facebook will get as big as he did.
