Jaw dropping video of rioters and police clashing

This is nothing like what we saw at Seattle or even Egypt. The protestors have guns, and are very very aggressive towards the police.
Kudos to the photjounalists who get these images and vids out to the rest of the world.

In Amerikkka all protesters would be shot and gutted very fast...so even though you may not agree with me that non-violence is the only way, it would be a slaughter for the "authorities". Peace.

How long before this happens here??? I've long dismissed any idea of this kind of thing going on here, but TPTB are stretching the spring farther and farther. It's gonna snap back on therm one day, and it may well look like this - only uglier.

Somehow I can't get the idea out of my head that these are just previews of what our future looks like if we can't clean up our government in a civil manner.

From what I've read and heard, the protests have been hijacked by the guys with the gunz and it isn't looking like it will end soon or well.

on 1200 radio stations a free speech free ride to blast whatever the 1%'s stink tanks give them all day.

and a lot of those stations will be the loudest and maybe the only soapboxes around in an emergency.
