Look, I'm not a huge fan of the Gx summits, but let's not bullshit ourselves. It's a bunch of whackos and anarchists who are fucking TRAINED by their respective organizations on how to provoke things into a riot, so the police and government looks evil and mean on TV. You want to protest? Fine, get a permit like everyone else, and don't get all pissy and provocative with the police when they come and do their job. If this happens in every single city that these summits are held in, and the only variable that remains consistent is the people who are protesting, I'm going to go ahead and pin the shenanigans on them. Fuck the whole lot of attention whores.

Also, yeah...if I'm driving around in Iraq or Douchbagistan, I wouldn't want to have anything less than a Ma Deuce in my vicinity. Try getting violent around me with one of those things, I'll liberate the shit out of you.

And then go to Ft. Leavenworth for the rest of my life.

The OP's rant sounds like something straight out of the Socialist Worker.




I don't suppose these hooded, masked rioters had anything to do with the outcome, did they?

Quote :

"A black bloc is a tactic for protests and marches, whereby participants wear black clothing, ski masks and motorcycle helmets with padding, steel-toed boots and often carrying their own shields and truncheons. The clothing is used to avoid being identified by authorities, and to theoretically appear as one large mass, promote solidarity, and create a clear revolutionary presence. The tactic was developed in the 1980s by anti-nuclear activist autonomists. Black blocs gained broader media attention outside Europe during the 1999 anti-WTO demonstrations, when a black bloc damaged property of GAP, Starbucks, Old Navy, and other retail locations in downtown Seattle."

"The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided that there is sufficient evidence to charge Police Sergeant Delroy Smellie with the offence of assault by beating of Nicola Fisher," a CPS spokesman said."

"Prosecutors are still considering whether to charge another officer with manslaughter over Tomlinson's death."
