Chuck (refused to give last name) of Pottstown, Pennsylvania carries an anti-World Trade Organization (WTO) sign while protesting at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle, November 30, 2000. Some 1,000 protestors gathered at the park which was a flashpoint during the 1999 WTO Ministerial Conference where some 50,000 protestors and police clashed resulting with police use of tear gas and mass arrests. Seattle Mayor Paul Schell and new city police chief Gil Kerlikowske vowed to prevent this year the widespread violence and destruction that occurred one year ago today. REUTERS/Anthony P. Bolante
