1 This isn't going to stop until someone dies.  Perhaps a lot of someones.

2 WOO HOO!  FIRST!

3 And that wasn't a death threat.  Simply the logical end result of the kind of escalation that has been happening.

Because first they say it, then they do it.

4 Surely this calls for some Sex Pistols?

5 Violent protesters should meet violent ends.

6 Given a choice, today... I'd root for the Daleks.

7 When they began whining about how kettling was antidemocratic, they should have just started using live rounds.

8 Notice if you're a union thug who resorts to violence, you're an anarchist who has broken away from the main protest which is peaceful.  That's the take all these reports have adopted.

9 This calls for THE CLASH

10 this is what happens when you take the gumbit crack away, it will happen all around the world as Govts. must face a crisis more then a century in the making as everyone kept kicking the can down the road

11 It was a peaceful protest.  Except for those anarchists that showed up.  But the protesters were peaceful.

12 Hope PM Cameron is calling Scott Walker in Madison for a little Wisconsin style advice.

Wait 'em out but don't quit.  Now that you've started to take Vienna, take Vienna.

13 This is coming out of your allowance.

14 i guess you can only eat so many bangers and mash before you take to the streets

15 Mark Steyn's take on this protest scheduled riot in the sidebar is interesting. Just as useless as the cocksucking vandals are the dumb old bats marching along with the hooligans, steadfastly refusing to acknowledge that their country is broke.

16

It was a peaceful protest.  Except for those anarchists that showed up.  But the protesters were peaceful.

So by that logic, when there is a polite Tea Party protest and some racists show up...

17

We and the Brits need to make it illegal to conceal your face.

This would also have a beneficial effect vis a vis the Muslims. There is no reason why anyone needs to conceal his face. No legal reason, anyway.

18 O/T:   Gerry Ferraro died.  In Boston of all places since she raised her kids in Forest Hills, Queens, New York.

Was doing a little online window shopping and looking and ran across this, it sort of brought a tear to my eye since I was really feeling that people were forgetting about Japan.

"The IKEA world is deeply concerned about the situation in Japan with regard to its co-workers there, as well as the country at large. To date, IKEA Japan has offered its co-workers in the Kanto area around Tokyo (and their immediate family) the option to temporarily and voluntarily relocate to Kansai, as well as other regions. IKEA will cover all costs.

IKEA is also temporarily relocating all co-workers who have been transferred to Japan by IKEA to Hong Kong, where they will continue to work for IKEA"

19 Maybe Obama needs to send in some F-16's and cruise missles to break this up.

20 UK protesters don't care if their country is broke, any more than the WI protesters cared that their state gov't was broke.  Because THEY (the smelly Hitler sign waving hippies) never paid into the system that they bankrupted.  And they never intend to pay in, only take.

21

It was a peaceful protest.  Except for those anarchists that showed up.  But the protesters were peaceful.

Every event is peaceful except for the violent parts.

You rutting moob!

23 I was in London a couple of months ago when the "student protesters" were protesting budget cuts.  As an American, to me it seemed like the Brits lightly-armed at best, always polite police force was barely adequate to keep it from getting out of hand.  I would have turned the hoses are those #$%@ers.  The crowd seemed to be about half Continental agitators and professional protesters.  They trashed monuments and spray painted Nelson's Column -- pretty disgusting show.  This protest looks even worse.

Lesson being lefty protesters are moronic scum no matter what country you're in.

24 Link to the Ikea letter, it goes on, they are really doing a lot.

Yeah I'm surprised there's not a thread on it.......Posted by: YRM

There's not much low-hanging fruit on AoS, so to go head-to-head with the liberal brain trust, you must venture forward and spank some fanny.  Here's my post on Mediaite to fuck with the liberals.

Ferraro said, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color), he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

The liberal intelligentsia, blogosphere, pundits, butt boys, and whining mainstream media moonbats went apoplectic after Ferraro made this comment.

So, Ferraro apologized to those who thought it racially insensitive for her to suggest that Obama wouldn’t be the Democratic front-runner if he were not black. But she then declared: ‘It wasn’t a racist comment. It was a statement of fact’.”

Oh Gerry, you truth telling wonder woman! “It wasn’t a racist comment, it was a statement of fact.” As we revisit her statement, liberal heads will explode because their man-child buffoon in the Oval Office has been exposed as the most incompetent boob ever to occupy the office. Thank you Geraldine Ferraro, and may you rest in peace from all the nonsense generated by the likes of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Streisand, O’Donnell, and a very long list of other socialist/Marxist that are still trying to figure out how to pick up the turd from the clean end?

40 21 Maybe Obama needs to send in some F-16's and cruise missles to break this up. Posted by: izoneguy at March 26, 2011 03:04 PM (83mM1) ... I was just thinking the same thing. That's the Obama Doctrine, right? Support all unions, communists, anarchists, and terrorists (but I repeat myself) in overthrowing their governments?

41 The Guardian actually published tips on how to enjoy the protest (as in participating in it)

42 They are rioting because they know they will get away with it. Every time we have a G-8 conference the same leftists show up to riot and destroy private property.  Some of them get arrested and then immediately turned lose again.

What we need to do is start beating the living shit out of them, throw them in jail and prosecute them for riot and vandalism. And make them do some hard time on a chain gang.

If they do that this shit will cease.

44 The Guardian: Voters back cuts but cool on coalition – poll

45 oh geez, my friend who is studying there said amonia being thrown around and I guess he meant this:  "London protesters throw paint bombs, ammonia-filled light bulbs during budget cuts demonstration" (via twitter breaking news)

46 I suspect the British cops are only arresting people for incorrect recycling or smoking in public places. Rioting, not so much.

47 Hey, it's perfectly peaceful.  Those violent people?  They're not part of the protest.  So they don't count.  Just a bunch of anarchists that showed up.  They were prolly having their own rally.  Just happened to be at the same time.  And in the same location.  But we don't have anything to do with them.

48 Hmm.  The crowd seems mostly white.

49 I am confused, is this now what democracy looks like?

50 "London protesters throw paint bombs, ammonia-filled light bulbs during budget cuts demonstration" Wait just a goddamned minute... are they CFL bulbs? Then the cops might get mad. Mercury is bad for Gaia.

51 Fortnum and Mason!!? That is simply beyond the pale. Shoot them.

52
I say it's time to truncheon the bloody bastards.

53 Would love to see that happen here.  And in proportion to population.  Imagine if something like 5MM to 10MM nasties went wild in WaDC, defacing fed property, statues, monuments, etc.  All in protest against cuts.

Like Madison on steriods, armed with clubs, paintguns, and more.

It would do wonders to turn the vapid independent centrists toward the conservative side, IMHO.

54 Just to clarify, these dickbags aren't anarchists, they're communists. They don't want NO government, because that wouldn't allow them to implement their property redistribution schemes. Hell, why would "anarchists" protest a decrease in government spending? They wouldn't. It's absolute bullshit that every time a group of little bitch commie punks decides to go out and destroy a bunch of property that they, themselves, could never create in a million years, they get labelled as anarchists. They may hate the UK government, but don't be deceived even for a moment that their preference is for anything other than a totalitarian, redistributionist state.

Coming soon to a city near you!!!

I came here hoping for a DOOM post but figured I wouldn't get one Saturday. This'll fill the void nicely though. Thanks. No other news really matters but the DOOM posts. Everything else is just filler until the inevitable.

Here's my DOOM world scenario relevant to the story above.

As to the zombie apocalypse portion of DOOM WORLD, I expect:

-The breakdown of all the major governments that no longer have the dollars to function. With bankruptcy, they lose the ability and authority to govern as the money has dried up.

-This leads to the rise of the smaller, more regional governments. In here, you'll have your productive groups (small urban areas or cities that actually have industries and make things) and your non-productive groups (areas like Detroit where most people are reliant on the government to take care of them.

-The non-productive areas threaten the productive areas for a while until the productive areas are able to build sufficient defences and cut off remaining goods and services. At this point, non-productive members flee their areas, learn to become productive and self-sufficient or get sent packing.

-The non-productive areas get goods and services cut off, go into riot mode, torch everything, continue to go after the well defended productive people and eventually are eliminated.

It's in steps 3 and 4 that Europe saves itself from the Muslims. Unless all of those Muslim no-go zones contain huge tracts of farmland, angry citizens eventually eliminate the Muslim enclaves one by one, either sending them home or killing them off in self defense. I can live with either and will celebrate like a Palestinian on 9/11.

At least that's how I see things in DOOM World.

 

58 Seattle anarchist punks and punketts taking notes so as not to be out done when it's their turn to fill the role as useful idiots on our side of the pond.

59 I was amused by some of the pics at the link on Drudge. One example in particular shows that the photographer watched the thugs break a banks windows, then followed them inside and kept snapping away as they trashed the inside. What ever happened to putting down the camera and doing something to stop this kind of stuff. It appears that the media is now in the business of cheering these idiots on.

60
This downtown disturbance is just so uncivilized and not in the proud tradition of British society.  We must try harder to maintain an equilibrium of peaceful public protest and civility in the great unwashed class.  

61

So by that logic, when there is a polite Tea Party racist protest and some even  more racists show up...

Posted by: Mama AJ at March 26, 2011 03:03 PM

Did you forget the meme?

62 This is why gun ownership is awesome. It's all well and good to throw tables through the windows of banks defended by constables armed with truncheons who don't even really give a shit about what they're defending, but that scenario would change _real_ quick with the presence of a single property owner armed with a fucking rifle on the second floor.

63

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell the expected end result of throwing an ammonia filled light bulb is supposed to be.

How do you get ammonia in the light bulb in the first place?

64 Just to clarify, these dickbags aren't anarchists, they're communists. They don't want NO government, because that wouldn't allow them to implement their property redistribution schemes. Hell, why would "anarchists" protest a decrease in government spending? They wouldn't. It's absolute bullshit that every time a group of little bitch commie punks decides to go out and destroy a bunch of property that they, themselves, could never create in a million years, they get labelled as anarchists.

Excellent point.  Can't be said enough.

65 One of my friends was upset by something he heard.  Some story about a woman who claimed she was held captive and raped for two days by k daffy's forces and she escaped and went straight to a hotel full of journalists.  Apparently the k daffy folks heard she was there and dragged her out but the rumor is that the journalists were hurt trying to help her and prevent them from taking her captive again.  Don't know if it's true but it's going around.

Not in England! If you kill an armed intruder in your home the odds are good that you will go to jail for a very long time. Merely protecting property probably gets you the death penalty.

74 It's really a sad commentary on British society that they tolerate this kind of thing.

75 They're cutting the people who actually work when so much of the indolent British public sit on their fat dole?

76

Young Randy Man? 

Better take a good look at that protest...there's our future, but it'll probably be more violent, as it'll be a three way of lefties vs. righties vs. law enforcement/NG...and real splodey things will not be out of the question (hey, say what you will, but I think Americans are the world's best at throwing down when they finally decide to do it...so far they've been pretty sedate, but when the top does blow off look out!).

77 Shit. /sock.

78 The link I linked from twitter breaking news was sort of a play by play and I just skimmed the article but it seems more than a few police have been very seriously injured.  They interview brits just out for the day who were scared shitless.  (heck don't these people read their papers or hear any news, why the heck would you plan to spend your day in an area where a protest has been scheduled and think everything will be fine?

79 What we need is some kinetic crowd control.  The permanent kind.

80 How do you get ammonia in the light bulb in the first place?
yeah that is a perplexing problem isn't it?
Something lost in translation of English to English perhaps.

81 Britain? What's going on in Britain, The British Open? I could play in The British Open.

82
The cameraman could have intervened with a strong rendition of Kumbaya and a few Twinkies as a bribe.

83 Not in England! If you kill an armed intruder in your home the odds are good that you will go to jail for a very long time.

If I killed an armed intruder I would bury him in the back yard and not tell anyone.  What do you have to lose?

This morning one of my friends said "is it just me or does Kate have that "what the heck am I doing marrying into the royal family look on her face".  We then discussed that her family has the money, probably more, at this point than his.  Then we went on to discuss the godfather scenario where you realize you are marrying the mob and it's too late.  Fascinating discussion for a bunch of lib/dems and me....lol

No way.  The royal family literally owns half of downtown London.  Even if you don't count items like the royal jewels (which they couldn't sell, realistically), the Windsors are by far the wealthiest family in Great Britain.

98 "It was a peaceful protest. Except for those anarchists that showed up. But the protesters were peaceful." Jon Stewart really needs to go over there and hold a "Play Nice" Rally. He can have all those people, who spoke in Tuscon about how we need a "New Tone", give their heartfelt speeches about how it is just SO WRONG to ratchet up the rhetoric. Oh, wait, all those concerned citizens seem to have disappeared since the unions have started shrieking and threatening people.

99 Why is it the "anarchists" always show up when the Left protests? I mean they are anarchists right? Shouldn't they show up for pro-gun rallies too? But they never do. It's really weird. I just can't figure it out.

The BLM can't help themselves, no matter what country they're in.

105 I remember seeing protests in London in 1980. They chanted "Smash NATO! Defend the Soviet Union!" Not much has changed except the $ is all gone.

106 There had better be puppets. It's not real anarchy without puppets.

107 Before this shit happens here, our political representatives ought to be drafting new rules of engagement for our police and other safety officials - person with hidden identity attacking people or property gets a brief warning to cease and uncover his face - if he doesn't comply, all manner of non-lethal force ought to be allowed (required) until compliance is achieved.  I bet that 90% of these assholes would stay away from the shit if they felt certain that they were in for a legal beatdown.

@100: "My .45 ACP is a fine piece of kinetic crowd control equipment, although my Remington 1100 might be a more sensible choice."

.45-70 Government is also a solid crowd control device.  Nothing gets people's attention like shooting doorknobs at them.  Granted, it's basically a howitzer at ranges over about 150 yards, but hey.....

Anyone who's had to use one knows the difference.
The old man said "Never bigger than B Buck."
He said During The Battle of the Bulge when you shot an enemy with 00Buck it barely broke the skin after passing through all clothing but B Buck was stuck in the jacket....on the opposite side of the wound.

111 Would it kill the media to leverage this "drastic" cuts programme to the inevitability of the bonarific bonage that would occur if nothing was done?

It's much worse than that.  The "drastic cuts" aren't cuts at all, just minor reductions in the growth of social programs.  They don't actually constitute "doing something" beyond the symbolic.

112 Geraldine being called a racist wasn't as funny as Bill Clinton, The First Black President, being called racist for merely stating that Jesse Jackson took South Carolina in a previous primary vote. I love it when Political Correctness bullshit bites them in their own butts.

117 The so-called "drastic cuts" introduced by George Osbourne are to the measly sum of Â£80B, or $130B.

118 Well, no they're not Anarchists. The flags are Red & Black - that's Socialist-Anarchy. Basically "smash everything so socialism can take over" & "with no government in charge, the People will 'naturally' form up into Communes"

119 [3b] ... At this point, non-productive members flee their areas, learn to become productive and self-sufficient or get sent packing.

[4] -The non-productive areas get goods and services cut off, go into riot mode, torch everything, continue to go after the well defended productive people and eventually are eliminated.

I'm thinking that we'll see this in Los Angeles and Las Vegas: the state governments failing, the cities losing cash, and a Left-Latino takeover. If you're Asian in these cities, it might be wise to quietly slip away prior to that.

DOOOOOOM

 Socialist-Anarchy

That hurts my brain almost as much as "anti-civilization blog".

124 What?  Socialists and Anarchists became bitter enemies years ago.  The commies realized the anarchists were a threat to their power.  If the Anarchists have gone socialist then they're not anarchists.

125
Well, the media's dilemma is whether to call them communists, anti-government, or anarchists.

They can't label them communists because it makes the Left look bad. They can't call them anti-government because that label is reserved for small-govt conservatives/libertarians.

So they lie and call them anarchists.

In other words he's not going to say anything.

They're not really "anarchists".  Nobody is an anarchist anymore. They're mostly kids 16-22 who know that "Communism" isn't cool, but there's been no murderous dictator who wore the anarchist label, so they can't be tied to the immoral actions of others.

There are plenty of places in the world where you can live in a commune without having much contact at all with governments and capitalism, but they like their running water, electricity and fast transportation.

160

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that severe and violent riots are coming to the U.S.  Just look at the behavior of supposedly rational "professionals" going crazy in Wisconsin upon being asked to kick-in for their own pension and health insurance.

Just wait until the lower social orders get whipped up into a frenzy because they won't get their "free" stuff.

I think storing several months worth of food, a means to cook it and having some firearms would be very prudent.

167 On that same vein, I've always thought that the police should be able to shoot people who throw Molotov cocktails at them, no questions asked.  If throwing a gasoline fire bomb at someone isn't assault with deadly intent, I can't imagine was qualifies.

186 174 - toby

I think that it probably would be deemed permissible for the police to fire on someone who threw a molotov cocktail at them, assuming that they had reason to believe that more might be coming.  That is why I think it is important not just that the law be clarified to make the cops' legal position known, but that literal "rules of engagement" be drafted and announced.  Let these suckers of cock know what is coming; let the citizenry (and future juries) know what is coming; and then shut down the lawsuits against the cops quickly.  I do think that the fear of losing one's job, pension and (possibly) freedom keeps the police from cracking down in situations in which it seems obvious to us that they ought to do so.  These Brit hooligans cannot be mistaken for peaceful protesters.  They wanted to create havoc, destruction, fear and personal injury.  And they wanted immunity from punishment for their actions (thus the face coverings).  Combine those two things and "there oughta be a law" so that society can protect itself.

187 "hey do you guys know what the prez is going to talk about on Monday night? Is this going to be his first "at the oval office desk with the flags behind him" address?" My guess, he's going to try to pretend that he hasn't been confusing, all over the place, and sending mixed messages that change on a daily basis, on this Libya kinetic thing. I'm just praying that he comes up with an even funnier euphemism for "war" than "kinetic action". I'm going to have a bottle ready and take one shot when he uses the word "kinetic" and two shots if he uses the word "war". Oh, and I'll be praying for the poor souls in the military, who must be wondering what the f_ck we're doing.

I mean, what could go wrong? I mean—I mean, when you think about it. And I think it's—I just—I'm just—I don't know why anybody voted for Obama in the primaries. I mean, this is a—this initiative, this no-fly zone, this war, essentially, is a Hillary-McCain concept."

A note about these "anarchists"

These are not the kind of anarchists we think of with the coherent political philosophy of "leave me alone" but rather anarcho-syndicalists.  How can you tell?  The flags-- they are divided diagonally between red and black, and some of them have the names of their worker's organizations on them.

Anarcho-syndicalists want

1) the means of production under the control of the proletariat

2) each particular industry under it's own direction by a board of directors of that proletariat made up of the workers in that specific industry and

3) the fundamental national political unit to be comprised of these boards of directorships.

227 We all know that 95% of our african american brethren are going to vote against their own best interests and  ignore the last 50 years of american history, and the stupid berkeley hippies will always be stupid berkeley hippes, but aside from that... 2012 is up for grabs.

228

232 Well, that would be foolish -- if you're going to go to that extreme and trouble then you might as well just off them and be done with it. 

Stabbing the butcher block is effective and not as wasteful of valuable china/various sundries that cost money as throwing shit...plus it gets the same message across.

Seriously, back to my original comment: I've noticed an all too disturbing tendency coming from all quarters to lump people into groups...usually with some dehumanizing characterizations.  That's not good; not good at all.  You could say it concerns me.

229 2012 is up for grabs. Posted by: tangonine at March 26, 2011 04:44 PM (x3YFz) I agree, and for that reason and others the Left will not forsake Ebola. All their present verbal farting is just that.

230 I don't believe the 95% number.  I believe that as much pressure as white liberals feel to tell people they voted for a hblack person, black people feel even more.  I reckon the number is more like 70%. Black people are just like white people when it comes to social issues.  We all know what cultural suicide looks like.

231 "McCain? How can he pin this on McCain? or, it it more likely that he's trying to say "see hillary is the same as McCain so if she decides to challenge BO for the candidacy, let me remind you, she mccain in drag" Well in fairness, we can hardly blame this on the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, tea baggers now, can we?

the 95% comes from the last election.  95% of black voters cast for Obama.

And if you dig deeper into races where there was an under qualified/INDICTED candidate, e.g. William "refrigerator" Jefferson (86% of the vote), you note that the african american electorate votes for the black man without regard for anything but color.

241 It's fascinating to watch a once-great culture cut its own throat and slowly bleed to death.

242

These aren't anarchists, they're stupid young people with sticks and cans of spray paint

This.  I think we make a mistake when we attribute much in the way of a philosophy to most of these misfits and losers. They are just at the extreme end of what lefty college punks do for fun.  Protest and get high that is.

Oh and the conservative kids are at the football game.

243 Anyone think that the Dear Reader will pull out the 'ol styrofoam columns for his speech on Monday? Or are those reserved exclusively for sermons on mountains? It's nice to see that he's right on top of things and wastes no time in getting his speeches together... after they get at least a week's worth of polls in. Also, it's he due for his bi-annual press conference where he answers 8, prescreened, softball questions and one tough sounding question from Fox or Tapper that was written by the White House staff? Heck, we haven't heard anyone ask, "How is it that you're so consistently awesome? And a follow up, being so awesome must be tiring. How do you manage to have any energy left for your grueling workouts and thankless, 4 hour workdays 3 days each week, especially with only 1 or 2 vacations per month?" since O'Reilly.

Why do we let the least capabile destroy the means of advantage of capitol ?

Almost like they were islamist already.

If you could be any golf club Mr. President, which one would it be?  Seven iron or pitching wedge?

Happy Holidays!

247 "Anarchism" was long ago co-opted by communists, and there are but a handful of people live that could claim the mantle of "Anarchy."

"Anarcho-Syndicalism" is a highly-regimented form of Communism with a  misleading name. The "street anarchists" are just malcontents, nihilists, and unpopular communists.

The MBM uses the term out of ignorance or a desire to protect the left from the consequences of their actions.

Why these wreckers aren't arrested by the hundreds and sentenced to hard labor I'll never know, I can only assume the sympathies of public employees play a part (and, of course, the ACLWLU).

248

I think that it probably would be deemed permissible for the police to fire on someone who threw a molotov cocktail at them, assuming that they had reason to believe that more might be coming.  That is why I think it is important not just that the law be clarified to make the cops' legal position known, but that literal "rules of engagement" be drafted and announced. 

There was a claim made, after Katrina, that Gov. Blanco had given orders to the Nat'l Guard to "shoot to kill" the looters. I can't say I actually believe it, nor am I sure that the Guard would listen. But if you google "katrina blanco 'shoot to kill'", you will see the stories. At the very least, it was a crazy, out of control situation and might be instructive.

249 I was in Oxford Circus and Regent Street from about 6-7:30 PM. Not much action there except for a bunch of idiots in the middle of Oxford Circus displaying why white people can't dance. Demonstrators were 98% white...mostly students as I think the pros were down on Piccadilly causing real problems. Violence from only a handful but that's all it takes. Stupid waste of money and I think that the ones arrested should be sentenced to cleaning every last bit of the tons of waste off the streets. With their tongues.

250 The World is on fire and Obama helped set it.Of all the stupid things to do he goes and jerks off in the middle east. Egypt is pretty much in the hands of the muslim brotherhood, and Libya is not much better. Yeah, moamar is a raving lunatic, but we  at least had him contained somewhat. Mubarak? Yeah he was stealing from his people, but he was attempting to address some of the issues when Barry decided to meddle.I'm sure Obama is proud of himself. On Monday he can act like he is a great military leader. Sick!

251 These aren't anarchists, they're stupid young people with sticks and cans of spray paint. ... We know, but if we call them "anarchists" we can pretend that they have nothing to do with the "peaceful protests of concerned, repressed, an noble citizens". It makes it seem like they are 2 different groups, see? As a bonus, we can blame both the "anarchist's" actions and the need for " peaceful protests" on the evil conservatives. It makes it seem like 2 majorities are against a handful of evil, dictator-like conservatives who are hell bent on torturing everyone to keep their unearned profits.

"Je$$$$ How much more of this cheap-jack bullshit can we be expected to take from that stupid little gunsel? Who gives a fuck if he's lonely and depressed down there in DC? If there were any such thing as true justice in this world, his rancid carcass would be somewhere down around Easter Island right now, in the belly of a hammerhead shark. "

253 PS. The Apple Store on Regent Street had to shut for about 20 mins (that's where I was going) but nothing serious happened.... I guess the crowd still wanted to get their Mac fix after a hard day of demoing...

254 I will be really surprised if he takes questions.  He did an interview with Univision and CNN and was asked the exact same question on Libya. I'm sure they were given a list of Qs they could ask.

255 55 Anarchists are protesting government spending cuts?  Anarchists?

LOL.
The new anarchists are opposed to government in any form, except for those parts that send them their checks.

256 Pikers. We could teach them a thing or two.

261 Mr. President, is it possible for you to keep up this astounding level of awesomeness in your second term, or should voters expect an even greater, unprecedented degree of awesome?

It's never a good idea to alienate people by tarring them with a broad brush based on arbitrary assumptions of the groups you think they should be pigeonholed into

I agree wholeheartedly.  Especially when you're talking to women - they automatically get defensive.  It's as natural to them as shopping and crying.

263 Suspected al-Qaida militants seize town in Yemen

As the political turmoil deepened, there were signs that Islamic militants in the remote reaches of the country were seeking to make gains on the situation. Residents and witnesses in the small town of Jaar in the south said suspected al-Qaida militants moved down from an expanse of mountains on Saturday to seize control there a few weeks after police fled, setting up checkpoints and occupying vacant government buildings.

264 They aren't really anarchists, they are just left wing fellow travelers.

265 There was a claim made, after Katrina, that Gov. Blanco had given orders to the Nat'l Guard to "shoot to kill" the looters.

That used to be the standard prescription, but sadly as a society we've allowed the Oprahs to circumscribe our options.  I don't blame you for not believing it - I don't think anyone believes it any more.

On the other hand, if somebody does get shot there's some legal protection for the guardsmen involved.

266 @262 That's because Apple isn't one of those evil corporations! They're just, like, a bunch of people hanging out in Steve Job's garage who make bitchin' gadgets out of recycled cans and 'green' stuff that saves the environment. And Apple stores aren't really "stores". They're just like coffee shops, but instead of coffee, they got bitchin' gadgets. Gee, man. The way you say it, you make it sound like they are a corporations and make those evil profits and stuff.

If a natural disaster hit, they'd be the first to die from a complete inability to care for themselves.

No, they'd do ok -- because they know how to be jackals, and jackals aren't the first to go.  In fact, jackals do pretty well for themselves.

Old people, little kids, the disabled, the truly good...they're always the first to go when society completely breaks down because they are the defenseless and rely on the kindness of strangers to defend them (and we are already seeing how much kindness strangers are willing to give each other!).  Jackals (no matter what their particular stripe) do well -- better than sheepdogs, better even than the wolves sometimes.

I can't help but hope you're wrong.  Then again, I keep hoping I'll wake up one day and life will be shiny and happy for all (I almost said fair, but thank God it isn't). 

269 These "anarchist" need a little Clockwork Orange reprogramming. Hi ya'll

270 Don't be cracking down too hard on those protesters.  We've already got an air base over there in Britain.  IYKWIMAITYD

271 You know a country that gave us bangers and mash and Right Said Fred should sit the fuck down and shup up. The friggin Beatles were overrated too!

272 I'm sick and tired of the media reporting this exactly the way the rioters want it to be reported. These rentamobs and affluent college kids are having fun donning bandannas and smashing stuff up. That is all. We hardly heard a peep out of them (except on the Iraq war) when Labour was in. We were in London today, but nowhere near this mess.

 It would be great if there were actually cuts for them to be protesting, but hardly. It's mostly the sort of cut that reduces the rate of increased spending.

273 And remember they disarmed the british people to appeease the PC pacisists parlament pansies

274 These rentamobs and affluent college kids are having fun donning bandannas and smashing stuff up.

Hey.  "Anarchists." 

275

My roommate, a large, well-armed cop, once had the opportunity to have a
conversation with a self-proclaimed anarchist across the police barricade. My
roommate said "If you achieve anarchy I'll kill you. Law is the only thing
keeping you alive." The Reed College educated 'anarchist' thought for a moment, turned and left the riot peacefully.

Lone, outlaw bikers are anarchists. These punk are communists.

 

276 127 sorry, couldn't help it.

So... using the impeccable logic of Sir Bedevere, that means anarchists are hobos, right?

277 Lone, outlaw bikers are anarchists.

Don't forget the morbidly obese Internet dumbfucks like DMXRoid. Apparently they're "anarchists" too. And they'll get around to constructing their self-sufficient organized anarchy just as soon as one of them figures out how to mass-produce a reasonable substitute for Cheetos.

278 Bangers and mash looks suspiciously like shit on pus.

279 Well in fairness, we can hardly blame this on the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, tea baggers now, can we?

now you did it....they are going to toss this at the speech writing intern who is the only one who knows how to work the teleprompter and say..."hey can you do something about blaming it on these guys for us?"

280

So was there some kind of Lefty dogwhistle that went off telling them all to riot at the same time? I count the ME riots as part of them mostly because the Leftards see them as fellow travellers and the initial rioting over there was caused by ME versions of Leftards.

So, tell me. It can't just be economics. Why now? What conditions are set? Was the rioting in WI supposed to be larger, and will it be come summer?

This might just be It. The Big Takeover that Jello Biafra used to talk about. Global Action, as they say

Yes. My .45 ACP is a fine piece of kinetic crowd control equipment, although my Remington 1100 might be a more sensible choice.

And I don't want to hear any crap about 00 buck. It's #4 for me

 

Load 3 rounds of 00 followed by 2 rounds of  #4.  If the first two don't do it, you will want the next three!

282 As everyone here and no one in the MBM knows, these people are "anarchists" like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a "Democratic People's Republic."

283 "anarchists" are Communists, without the benefit of daily hygiene.

284 As everyone here and no one in the MBM knows, these people are "anarchists" like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a "Democratic People's Republic."

Indeed.  Real anarchists would applaud govt spending getting slashed to zero, because that would be the end of government.    Supposed Euro "anarchists" have been a stalking horse for the commies for about 90 years now.

John Muir (the guy who wrote the VW repair books) also wrote a book with a quasi-blueprint for a social structure that was pretty close to anarchy.  It's called the Velvet Monkey Wrench.  It was a good read and I agreed with a lot of what he had to say.  Some of his social idead were decidedly outside the box.

285 I live in England. It would have been cheaper and far more cost effective to station snipers to pick off anyone hiding their face. "A man can dream, a man can dream".

286 Alan, I'm surprised the UK government doesn't put patriotic American blogs like this behind a firewall.;-)

That will come at some point, if the regressives get their way.

Interesting, isn't it, that they call themselves "progressive," when they're actually the most reactionary idiots around?

Personal liberty in a nation of free citizens is the Most Radical Idea on the Planet. All this other authoritarian stuff is Old School: tyranny with very bad clothes.

287 anarchists are supposed to be anti-gubmint and now they are protesting because their gubmint benefits are being taken away???

FUCKIN PUSSIES

288 I think I am replying Beverly, despair is the best I can do to describe what we have, gonna take the next job offer overseas, I've had enough of the stupid.

289 Everyone and their mums is packing heat in the country....

290 It's a shame Phil Collins retired before he could pen a song for the Anarchist Rebellion--maybe ABACAB?

291 Things are going to get bad, very bad.  I was doing some reading on the UK and energy.  Big troubles coming.  The UK is now a net importer of oil.  North Sea oil will be gone in 2020.  Many of their coal fired power stations will close because they don't meet some European commission thingy.  Some nuclear power plants will close in a few years too.  It's just all bad.  And if people are protesting now, just wait until the real troubles start  . . . . . . .

292 So, tell me. It can't just be economics. Why now? What conditions are set? Was the rioting in WI supposed to be larger, and will it be come summer?

In a lot of countries it really is economics.  Governments all over the world have been buying off the proles for years with bubble inflated tax revenue.  When the bubble popped, they borrowed.  Now they're just about out of credit headroom.  If the world economy doesn't start booming you're going to see a lot more of this.  In the US, too.

293 Can the A10's GAU-8? be loaded with rubber bullets?
Glow in the dark SuperBall ones at night.

294 Maybe some over optimistic true anarchists thought this demonstration would lead to the collapse of the welfare state and the replacement of the socialist government they have over there if only someone helped push things over the edge. But yeah, >99% of those goobers are clearly not pro anarchy per my American English definition.

295 302 Can the A10's GAU-8? be loaded with rubber bullets?

This ^

People totally underestimate the influence the US has on the world, simply by its very existence. Our current weakness, thanks to President Toonces Hussein O'Mulligan, is encouraging all manner of miscreants to push the envelope in a way they would not have dreamed of with a Reagan or W in the oval office.

Things are going to spiral out of control. American servicemen and women are going to die for no good reason, and whole countries will suffer chaos and violence and destruction, simply because the President of the US is such a feckless swine.

298 Sorry ... too upset to take off my sock.

So, it's the same in Britain as in Wisconsin? The people rioting are the ones who have jobs and benefits, but those benefits are being lowered?

Meanwhile the people with no jobs are not rioting.

Hmmmm...

300 This makes me so sad!  And I do see this in our future, God help us. Fucking cowards.  If they're so righteous in their convictions, why hide their faces?

301

And I just finishing reading "A Long Way Gone" about child soldiers in Sierra Leone in the '90s.  Thinking that kind of crap could never happen in a civilized place.  So wrong.

I've already got some provisions stocked in the basement...I need to get a gun.

302 We all need something, Gem. I need ammunition and a reliable, multi-fuel stove. Its just a matter of squirreling things away.

As far as a gun goes, start with a small (concealable) revolver. I think confiscation of semi-automatic weapons is a real possibility, so I'm thinking the base of any arsenal should be a revolver, bolt action rifle and a double-barreled or pump action shotgun.

303

277 It depresses you, because you know I'm right...and that it is probably coming.

There is one way to avoid the worst of it though:  don't look for happy and shiney to be something you wake up to...that sort of thing only comes out from within; it only takes a few people to change the course of the world, but they have to be willing to drop their fear and do it

304 This isn't going to stop until someone dies.  lingerie wholesale Perhaps a lot of someones

305 Like that old chestnut goes once you get more than 50% on the take you've lost the argument, the majority is simply going to vote themselves to your money.

AmishDude, could be , could be.

No, those numbers come from exit polls from elections.

Turman, so they could still be lies.

308 WOW!  The protests in the UK are almost as bad as Wisconsin.  Why are union goons and spoiled brats so much alike?  I think the cure is some good old fashion ass-kicking.
