Interesting. Unfortunate. Terrible.

You know, they say that we used to have a crime problem and now we have a police problem. This is similar to the Chicago 7 in the 60's, who led a crowd into a park to sleep for the night when the city refused access to the parade route Hoffman had requested. The crowd got violent only when they were denied their right to speech.

If government officials would allow demonstrations to occur, none of this shit would go down.

They were only protesting. Why should they die?

You're a fucking idiot DC. You used to put up somewhat intelligent replies, now you're just trying to piss people off. Give one good reason why protestors should be shot at cops, because they threw rocks ? Why would the cops block their route through the city ?

Oh well, at least 2 pigs died.

"Riot police fired shots into the air to disperse the crowd of protesters, after the demonstration became violent"

"But one of the injured policemen told the French news agency AFP: "They walked up and started to attack us. We went there to protect them and I cannot believe what happened."


You don't attack riot police and expect to not be shot at.

Unfortunately it is just the beginning in most of SE Asia. The forgein manufactures that farmed labor to SE Asia in the 90s economic boom, now expect SE contractors to cut costs.

Look at your own garmets that you are wearing. It is almost next to impossible to escape garmets that are not made in sweat shops.

No one deserved to die, not even the pigs.

People should watch how they riot, the police don't take demostrators nicely. It would require a full revolt to get reall free speech.

Unfortunately, most of my clothing was made in sweat shops. But that was all bought before I became a leftist. I have definitely become quite a radical. Next year I will have no sweatshop made clothes. Most will be vegan too. :biggrin:
