Not quite. This weekend a group of idealistic demonstrators attempted to embarrass Friday night headline band U2 over their moves to pay less tax.
Activists in the crowd inflated a 25-foot balloon saying “U Pay Your Tax 2”, planning to float it in front of the stage so that the band, their fans and thousands of TV viewers would get the message. But security guards took control of the balloon, deflated it and took it away. Several protesters were pinned against a fence, and one reported a broken finger. A guard told a photographer: “If you are press, I’ll have you.”
