Hopes that second day of protests would bring us more excitement and more useable work were high but it never happened. The meeting point was a massive car park by the detention centre near Fiumicino Airport. Bit too far from the city centre.
It turns out that programme of this day is to entertain the immigrants behind the concrete wall by playing reggae to them. Obviously the odd cheer from behind the wall was heard as this must had been the first occasion for immigrants to experience such 'an excitement'.
Next thing I hear, in several languages including Italian (obviously), English, French, Spanish, German and Polish, is them activists asking everyone to bring bottles with water. Bottles were be thrown over the massive big concrete wall for detainees to drink. Apparantly they live on a litre of water per person a day.
After all the bottles were thrown, most of them landed before the wall of course, activists decided it was a time to pay a tribute to another of earth's element. Fire. They set on fire a fake video camera they've brought in earlier in a day.
And this was the end of yet another and not were productive nor exciting day.
