Break a McDonald's window, get 300 points. Puncture a Washington D.C.

Anarchist 'Scavenger Hunt' Raises D.C. Police Ire
Sat Sep 21, 3:37 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An online "anarchist scavenger hunt" proposed for 
next week's annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund ( news - web 
sites) and World Bank ( news - web sites) here has raised the ire of 
police, who fear demonstrators could damage property and wreak havoc.

Break a McDonald's window, get 300 points. Puncture a Washington D.C. 
police car tire to win 75 points. Score 400 points for a pie in the face of 
a corporate executive or World Bank delegate.

D.C. Assistant Police Chief Terrance Gainer told a congressional hearing on 
Friday that law authorities were in talks to decide whether planned 
protests were, "so deleterious to security efforts that we ought to take 
proactive action."

Several thousand people are expected to demonstrate outside the IMF and 
World Bank headquarters next weekend.

The Anti-Capitalist Convergence, a D.C.-based anarchist group, is also 
planning a day-long traffic blockade, banner-drops and protests against 
major corporations in the downtown core.

Chuck, the 37 year-old webmaster of the anarchist site www.infoshop.org who 
declined to give his last name, told Reuters his scavenger hunt was meant 
as a joke.

"People were asking for things to do when they come to D.C. We made the 
list to get people thinking, so they don't do the boring, standard stuff," 
he said. "I doubt people will actually keep track of what they do for points."
