This will either make you sad, angry, or shocked, but chances are, you will react to it.

[pepperbear]

It's like some film about a future dystopia, except the future is now, and it isn't a movie.

from the VA women's rights protest.

[Dawson Leery]

1. The uniform in all it's "glory".

[stevedeshazer]

2. I'm going with sad.

The shocked and angry part is right behind.

What is wrong with these people?

[snappyturtle]

3. This photo and the hundreds like them that we've

seen at the Repub convention in St. Paul, the Occupy protests etc, I want to
know: What in the hell are these protectors of the public so fearful of that
they have to don the end of times gear? In this case, a small child with a
doll?

[47of74]

4. Attention Government of Virginia

Fuck you.

[bakpakr]

5. Nothing surprises me anymore

If this doesn't demonstrate we now live in a police state nothing will.

Can anyone see any name tags on the uniforms? If there are none present then they are in violation of the law and people need to speak to that issue. We need to start to hold them accountable.

[wendylaroux]

6. wow just wow

unbelievable and horrible.

i guess this is what a protest will bring out from now on.

[brewens]

7. Do you remember during the Waco hearings how the Republicans

focused on the ATF agents raiding the compound, during the first arrest attempt wearing the "Darth Vader" helemts? This while serving a legitimate arrest warrent involving a well armed and dangerous group. You see these cops in full riot gear against peaceful protestors, armed to the teeth and in some cases violently assauting them. Where is the outrage from the media?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

33. nailed it.

this is what sets my hair on fire.

I noticed, logging on, stupid ass Yahoo's pro-rethug spin. Emphasizing the anal-cyst's apology, and all words minimizing the damage to women. Also, disinformationally wording Sandra Fluke's demand that insurance cover birth control as, "wanting free birth control".

[peacebird]

8. Sad. Virginia has sunk so low. I thought Mackaka boy was our lowpoint... Seems not.

[Avalux]

9. I'm going with hope.

Yes, it's bad, and we're fast falling into a society that may be beyond repair. But.....that little girl standing there with her doll, oblivious to what's behind her.....she is hope.

[niyad]

10. all of the above, and pure fury that this country has sunk so low.

[Canuckistanian]

11. What are they expecting, women with baseball bats?

Do they even have a friggen' CLUE how this looks?

[woo me with science]

12. Bookmarking.

I don't recognize this country anymore. This is not a red versus blue issue anymore. We are being assaulted and our liberties stripped from us by the one percent via both parties.


Occupy now, because they are putting structures into place to prevent occupation later. It has never been more important.

[Cerridwen]

13. Angry. But, thank you for bringing this picture here.

I 'borrowed' the picture for another thread. I hope you don't mind.

I think it's time we 'outed' those obvious 'terrorists' and 'anti-american' protesters such as the little girl in the picture. /sad sarcasm

[FirstLight]

14. i am not seeing a picture

is it just me?

[ProfessionalLeftist]

15. . . .

[MarianJack]

16. That little girl may be very dangerous!

If she smiled at me my heart might just melt!

K&R!

PEACE!

[athenasatanjesus]

20. Maybe she is one of those "gifted"children from the Xavier Mansion.

Did you ever think about that?

[MarianJack]

22. A much of a super hero fan as I am,...

...I'm ashamed to say I didn't. I guess that's a big to me!

PEACE!

[The Straight Story]

27. True, she could be a christian & home schooled (in which case, the picture make some happy here)

[MarianJack]

28. She could be, but...

...respecting a woman's right to decide what to do about her own healthreally isn't something that is high on the fundie's priority list now, is it?

Acting like a bunch of soft headed schmucks is.

PEACE!

[nadine_mn]

17. Clearly they are afraid she might try to sell Girl SCout cookies

Be afraid...be very afraid.

[provis99]

18. here the police are from a different camera angle:

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. Verily.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Shocking. I could never had imagined this response to a woman's rights protest.

Just what is going on in this country?

[Zalatix]

21. De-fund the police gangs. NOW.

[Ikonoklast]

23. You Will Submit To My Authority.

[CoffeeCat]

24. Is that "Boo" from Monster's Inc.??????

Run!!! Run!!! It's a child!!

Twenty three nineteen! Twenty three nineteen!!!

[CoffeeCat]

25. Look!!! Third from the left...It's RANDALL!!!

Clear the scare floor...we've got an open door!!!!!!!!

[niyad]

26. I finally figured out one positive (well, sort of, in a creepy way) way to look at that pic--

these woman-hating fools have finally figured out that the women they are screwing are REALLLLLLLY angry--and these fools know how THEY would behave in such circumstances. so yes, they are AFRAID--AFRAID of what they have sown, and what they are about to reap.

[DFW]

29. What I would do is this:

Paste it all over Richmond.

[FSogol]

41. Fix the spelling and that's a good pic. n/t

[DFW]

42. Paste at haste, repent at leisure

Thanks for the heads-up!

30. The Odessa Steps

Battleship Potemkin.

[xchrom]

31. Du rec. Nt

[sofa king]

32. Pick up that can.

[The Wielding Truth]

34. Is it real? It is chilling if it is.

[malthaussen]

35. But... but... but... that doll could be loaded!!!!

It shocks me, yes, shocks me, that people at DU could be so unempathetic to the dangers our brave boys in blue (or black, increasingly) face each and every day.

[Downtown Hound]

36. Hey, cut the brave men and women in blue some slack

For all they know, that child could be the one who opened up a lemonade stand without a permit. You just never know.

But against those with criminal histories like that, not to mention the imposing physical stature of roughly 3 feet tall and 60 pounds large, I know that I'd sure feel better with 3 inches of body armor and a tactical helmet on to protect me.

[Dont call me Shirley]

37. These men-childs in their darth vadar costumes

bullying the little girl and her dolly.

[Liberal_in_LA]

38. do they have enough manpower to keep that lil girl under control?

[1monster]

40. Somebody with too much influence and power has been watching too much

ROBOCOP.
