The guerilla party is one thing, and they've happened before.

Having t-shirts printed is a new touch.

But I'm more interested in this:

> A new Facebook page has since been created called "Project Clean-X Haren" to clear up after Friday night's disturbances. It had more than 17,000 "likes" as of Saturday morning.

I'd be fascinated to see a guerilla clean-up crew cleaning the trash, removing graffiti, fixing damage, doing a bit of gardening.

I'm sure like most Facebook initiatives, people "Like" the idea, but probably won't be taking any real action on their own. That's for other people.

Not always the case. The clean up efforts after the london riots last year were quite successful.

This photo [1] is from during the riots but helped to restore my faith in people too.
