Dangerous *Not nice word for gay men* strikes again

I think he's actually worse than CSD.

CSD?

UPDATE 37: Rioters assault BuzzFeed reporter after threatening him and claiming that filming “puts people in danger.”

[HeroHog]

Austin Braun From Jim Dalrymple, reporter overseeing protests: "Our reporter on the scene is @blakersdozen. We’re trying to determine what happened. Hearing he’s ok."

[Hawkmoon]

Maybe in some circumstances police should have automatic weapons ...


So the dainty little "protestors" have engaged in wholesale destruction of property, trespass, assault, arson, interference with a police officer, and bank robbery (which is a federal felony). All over what one gay guy might say that they don't want to hear. My bet is that nobody will be arrested or charged, and the university won't expel anyone. And that's the problem -- the aw-thaw-rih-tays are teaching these vermin that actions don't bear consequences ... and actions should bear consequences.

Whatever happened to 'If you can't do the time, don't do the crime"?

[HeroHog]

Flame throwers, detcord, claymores, whatever it takes.

Trashing a Starbucks now!

I guess those 10,000 refugees will have to sweep up broken glass.

I'm getting to the point where I think a few nice instances of EXTREME police brutality -- delivered with saps, truncheons, and PR-24s -- is most appropriate.

Throw a rock, get beaten until you piss red for a month.

I've gotten to the point where I really doing care if some of these aholes are severely injured or even killed. Wages of protest, as far as I'm concerned. If you're this invested, you must be willing to die for your cause. No problem.

I am to that point as well.  Now if the protest is truly peaceful and they have the necessary permits, I am all for people exercising their 1st Amendment right, but riots and violence need an equal or greater response.

YESSSSSS
They've begun to eat their own!

Newsweek article is sympathetic to the rioters:  http://www.newsweek.com/milo-yiannopoulos-berkeley-protests-greet-right-wing-provocateur-551461

Bingo.

[RoadKingLarry]

I don't know how many TV shows I've seen where they show all these neat, non-lethal riot control crap. The super slippery slimey stuff they can spray all over crowds of rioters, the vomit inducing sound cannon. Rubber bullets, bean bag projectiles and tear gas get far to little use.

As for the arsonists and looters, just *expletive deleted*ing shoot them.

Especially considering:

In the evening, a small group dressed in black and in hooded sweatshirts used metal barricades to break windows, threw smoke bombs and flares, used a diesel generator to start a large bonfire outside the building.

If the police themselves say this was a small group, then why are you not just surrounding and arresting them? When you're outnumbered, I can understand hanging back, but when the rioters are outnumbered, stop them. By whatever means necessary (I understand that the cops there might have wanted to do that, but may have been prevented by their administration).

I would hope they at least use witnesses and traffic cams to try and track down the rioters who pulled an innocent person out of their vehicle and beat the crap out of them in a case of mistaken identity. The high schoolers involved should be tried as adults. I'm all for giving youth a break for youthful indiscretions, but this was violent crime. Sorry, you've lost your chance. Permanent criminal record and I hope it ruins your life.

Because it was a small group, but the police are well aware that if they intervened against the small group, the rest of the "protesters" would move to protect the "small group".

Because the "protesters" are there for cover.

[Perd Hapley]

What would happen if a group decided to wage war on the U.S. by staging "protest" riots night after night, in multiple cities, breaking and burning stuff in a different part of town each night?

How long would it take for the government to finally respond with appropriate measures?


And yes, I realize the "what if" is superfluous.

[K Frame]

In some cities, there never would be a response other than city leaders saying "First Amendment must be protected over threat to property/life/etc."

In other cities hopefully there would be some scrambled hippy brains seeing the light of day.

I'm way past that point. Wear a mask to a protest, get shot. The people in black are most likely getting paid to destroy property, attack people and intimidate people over political views and incite riots. They literally are terrorists.

A few years ago one of the violent little douchebags was shot and killed in Italy after he tried to assault a police officer with a fire extinguisher.

Ah, here we go. In 2001. Wow, didn't think it was that long ago...

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/21/world/genoa-summit-meeting-overview-italian-protester-killed-police-genoa-meeting.html

Typical responses from the leaders of some of the European states.


"It was not clear today why the riot police were armed with live ammunition."

Why? Because violent aholes who were very likely trying to injure/kill the police officers.

If the police went in as a group with speed and violence, the other protestors would do nothing but pull back.  The problem is they rarely do anything of the kind.  This is all a product of liberal urban leadership in the major cities.  

I am actually waiting for the story of the concealed handgun holder who gets pulled from his car and shoots a bunch of people.  Or who is confronted by a mob and empties his gun into them.  Maybe the location of these things is why that we don't see that story.

In DC, a line of cops drove a group of anarchists into what can be best described as a blind canyon of buildings and a larger force of cops and paddy wagons on the other end.They never saw it coming until it was too late, many are facing up to 10 years in federal prison.

Flanked and put down hard and fast.  Can't believe they responded appropriately in Portland, of all the lefty holes.

Couple of nice throws there.  Shift the center off the base on contact and then let them drop, rather than fighting to get them to the ground.  Sensei would approve.
