well that post ought to get ya some trolls. enjoy.

PS what's a "nelly frenzy?"

I have an equation that could solve the demonstrator's problems:

Not dispersing when ordered to do so + throwing rocks and bottles at police = possibly getting smacked with a baton.

This should answer all questions and concerns. If you find yourself nursing bumps and bruises from any demonstrations, please reflect back upon your actions and decide whether you failed to leave the area or chose to throw objects at police.

If you did either of these things... shut your mouth and take some tylenol.

Thank you

People are quick to criticise the actions of others, expecially the actions of police officers in hostile situations. Just look at past demonstrations and demonstrations as a whole. During a large scale demonstration, "demonstrators" present some sort of a threat to public safety personnel. There is no need for a large gathering of people in a public place. It disrupts traffic, business and inflames other people of the community, who may oppose the mission statement of the demonstrators. Don't want your ass kicked, stay at home.

Yeah, Tom! People have no right to gather in public if the police say so. Kick their populist asses!

waitaminnut R. Scott. was that link there before? anyhoo... now i get it. thanks.

boingboing.net has some excellent coverage of this as well... have a look.

PS told ya so.

Stay at home? Shut up? DON'T GATHER? It doesn't surprise me that this kind of responses are being received from OC residents regarding the MacArthur Park issue. Just stay at home and don't you dare complain about your inequality as a human being and as a citizen of this world. Who cares if you are proud of living in the United States and pay taxes and still don't get any respect as a person, just stay home and shut up. Really? Is that what you would do if such was the case? Look me in the eye (screen) and tell me that you would take that shit from a society that claims that democracy is the way to go, yet asks you to stay at home and not to complain.

fuck the police!!anarchy
