I know this will come as a shock to you, but those 3rd world people are also protesting globalism at these g8 and g20 meetings, too.

They're also protesting the G8 because of the G8's record of environmental negligence and destruction, and a ton of other things. They may also be protesting because of past acts of violence and corruption by the police at G8 meetings.

You could, of course, just look this all up.
