I'm already anxiously awaiting the next pre-arranged American riot.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, stop posting misleading information. You talk about how the media distorts things - well, pal, you're one of the worst offenders.
I completely agree. Nobody takes anything HC475 posts seriously.

I was in the Watts-Compton Riot of 1965, and this was certainly no riot by any means. Just a bunch of stupid kiddies being arrested for acting like children.

Who cares if 200 idiots who don't have a clue show up in Manhattan?

That isn't news.

Anyone who is against these protests is a supporter of the statist quo.
That means you support OUR fascist regime with the likes of Obama and his Wall Street stooges, or the Bush Cabal and his MIC Henchmen.

If you crash Wall Street, the parasites and cockroaches up at the top, that have been showering money via TARP and all other monetizing tricks into the market to prop it up, loose their grip on power and control.


That is, unless some of you like to lick your masters bums on Wall Street if it means they will throw you some more crumbs and make empty promises of returns down the road.

THESE people that run Wall Street are cockroaches and are part of the problem with their globalists agenda's.

The American people no longer matter to them and their agenda.

Just a bit of humor, but something I see a lot in regards to policies implemented by the government.

"We" should have done this, or "We" should have done that.

There is no WE.

It is "they" that call the shots regardless of what the American People want.

Majority of Americans were against the bailouts, but that did not stop them.

It is a big Club, and neither me nor you are in IT.

And you think the fascists government we have had for the past 30 years is working?
I'm all for shrinking government to 5% so that all the parasitic mega corps and banks, will actually have to put on their bootstraps and work in a free market.
Not one where politicians are paid off and contracts are passed, like to the fascists Haliburton etc etc etc
Are where Wall Street cockroaches hop between the public and private sector to help their turdy chums rake even more at the expense of all Americans.

An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent... He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises....

"The job then is getting the people to move, to act, to participate; in short, to develop and harness the necessary power to effectively conflict with the prevailing patterns and change them. When those prominent in the status quo turn and label you an 'agitator' they are completely correct, for that is, in one word, your functionto agitate to the point of conflict."

"Process tells us how. Purpose tells us why. But in reality, it is academic to draw a line between them, they are part of a continuum.... Process is really purpose."

Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals

This is what MSNBC is all about, they will cover it.

There must have been a sale on skinny jeans and wool caps - that would prevent most of them from showing up.

Or Daddy shutting off the credit cards.


It's pretty hard to protest Capitalism when you can't buy a Latte at Starbucks and your iPhone battery runs out!

Seems almost everyone who posts to your OP in your opinion is a troll, when is a light bulb going to go off in that progressive college educated head of yours that people think your riot is more like the Micky Mouse Club gathering for teenagers...

As others have said, Watts was a riot:







Maybe when you grow up you'll understand what a riot really is...
