"I have covered Syntagma, the Occupy protests and reported from Tahrir Square. This is different to all of them.
First, it is massive. The sheer numbers dwarf any single episode of civil unrest in Greece.
Second, the breadth of social support - within the urban enclave of Istanbul - is bigger than Greece and closer to Egypt.
"Everyone is here - except the AK party," insists one young woman.
People nod. In Greece, the urban middle class was split. Here the secular middle class are out in force, united across political divisions, to say nothing of football hatreds."

^ they just cleared the square with tear gas.

Are protestors throwing back the tear gas, or, does a tear gas canister sort of redeploy itself after landing? I saw a few in the video where there were no people around, and the canister suddenly spun around and moved.

I keep waiting for the protestors to charge like in Braveheart.

I see stuff like this and always think "on any other day, these cops and the protestors are probably rubbing elbows with each other in bars, clubs, restaurants, etc."
