Heard on the news this AM:

Far right wing organizers intended to descend on Brussles Square to protest all things Islam. Local LE appealed to them to not do so because they preferred to focus on investigations related to the recent bombing instead of managing mobs of angry people. The organizers ignored LE and about 500 gathered with anti- Islamic signage and rhetoric which drew crowds of watchers.

Brussels LE quickly responded with water cannons and used water to push back and disburse mobs of protesters and those who came to observe.

Yeah, can't have pissed off natives, only Muslim Invaders get that right. When this thing blows it will be ugly.

Do you people have any sense of comprehension? Do you even listen to the news? Maybe try it before posting about something that you clearly have no idea what you're posting about.

The mayor has condemned this group much more harshly than he has of the enclaves of Muslim neighborhoods who harbor those animal terrorists. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder that effects entire western society.

Water cannon used on anti-immigrant protesters in Brussels | World news | The Guardian

Anti-immigrant demonstrators trample the memorial in Place de la Bourse, Brussels, for victims of last week’s suicide bombings

Riot police fired water cannon at far-right demonstrators who invaded a square in the Belgian capital on Sunday, shouting anti-immigrant slogans at the memorial to the victims of the Brussels attacks.

Approximately 200 men wearing black, some of whom were masked, shouted nationalist and anti-immigrant slogans and made Nazi salutes as they moved in on the Place de la Bourse,

The protestors chanted slogans including “this is our home” as people who had gathered earlier to light candles at the memorial in front of the former Brussels stock exchange shouted back: “No to hatred.”

The Euros created what we uncivilized Americans think of as a real PC mess.

They can wallow in it with smug, progressive, self- satisfaction.

Ravaged, dead bodies and all

Not our problem.
