Smelly Hippies, Commies, and Anarchists Stinking Up Denver

[roo_ster]

It seems the protesters jumped the gun and began protesting before any of the DNC festivities kicked off, yesterday.

The following link has a lot of images & observations:

As is usual for the type, personal hygiene is not a top priority:


Where there are protesters, there are counter-protesters:

Until the DNC leaves, I'm staying the hell out of Denver! I am NOT getting stuck in that kind of area right now.

How about this one?



Or this?

Need Revolution and Communism Eh?  Lets say I revolt against protests.  With my 20 year old towncar doing 60+ mph into them.  Then we can all share the napalm I shoot out of the toy on the back of it.  Remember, I'm giving everyone an equal share, therefore I can do no wrong!  After all, its what they want!

What's up with this AR he's holding? Marked for rubber bullets/pepper ball shots only? Mag is the oddest I've seen...

[grislyatoms]

Looks like the usual collection of clowns and asshats.

That's a paintball gun dressed up to have the same controls as an AR-15.

No, it is not the soldier that has given us the freedom of speech.

1. Freedom of speech is not given, it is innate in all men.

2. It is a 'community organizer' called Sam Adams and a politician called James Madison that brought us the Revolution and the Bill of Rights. Washington's role was comparatively minor.

3. I don't see how you can learn about these people's 'hygiene' from the picture. If anything, it's probably that the JBTs wearing all that black in that weather smell just as bad if not worse.

You're drifting to the other side in your views and what you choose to condemn and excuse. I hope you see that.

"The other side"?

Do they have cookies?

Yep. I do wonder how these seemingly professional demonstrators/rioters (there are such a thing over here) support themselves? Leeching off parents? Welfare? Although I understood that these photos were taken on a Sunday, who wants to bet we'll see the same faces in the crowd of hippies flocking the streets during this week?

I guess the people in the second picture of MW's post failed Irony in high school English.......

I was thinking somewhat along the same lines, although my actual thought was "I bet all the fast food joints in town are short staffed."

Most of the 'professional protesters' I know work in the IT sector, study in college, or write for Israel's various newspapers (and if that doesn't raise concerns about bias, I don't know what the hell does).

It doesn't take much of an income to support these types.  Cheap food, ratty clothing, couch-surfing, and the like are all they require.  Maybe a little spare cash weed and cheap beer, or maybe those necessities can be mooched off of others.

Going out on a limb here, but I would bet a dollar to a dime if you asked any one of those folks (in the first picture) who the Secretary of State or Speaker of the House is, they will draw a blank.

Noisy, rabble-rousing attention whores.

Do those folks in the first picture appear to be willing to engage in a debate?

Contrast that first picture with the second picture.  

[MicroBalrog]

I don't think guys who are calling their opponents moonbats are engaging in a debate either.

I never met an American hippy, but I found their German counterparts rather well informed. The people, however, who just live day to day, and seem to just care about being normal are ridiculously underinformed. Fortunately, they often don't vote (or always for the same party without re-considering it)

I've worked in the "IT sector" for the past 12yrs and have yet to run into those types.  Maybe they worked for dot bombs, hence their abundance of free time...

I like the "Defend Denver" t-shirt.  It has a gun on it.

It's like Spike Lee's "Defend Brooklyn" t-shirt but in Denver.  How ironic.

There are few leftist in the IT world where I work, but most are God fearing and gun owning computer nerds.

I think I saw some of the protestors here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmndlzkDXuA

I didn't say there weren't any leftists or even smelly hippies, but I never ran into any professional protester types.  All of the leftists and smelly hippies (L&SH) were too busy adding to the tax base so the leeches, protesters, and other non-producers could continue their activities uninterrupted.

Most of the "smelly hippy" types were old school smelly hippies, who were coding in Cobol before MB was a gleam in his daddy's eye.

You really thing Ghoul-boy (punk kid with ripped jeans in first picture) would work in a fast food joint? "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT MCDONALD'S ARE PART OF TEH EVIL EMPIRE AND THAT THEY EXPLOIT THE WORKERS, PEOPLE IN THE THIRD WORLD, INUITS, GHETTO THUGS AND KITTENS?!?!?!?!?!?"
