May day fun!

Did any of y'all see where these jokers sent envelopes with white powder in them to banks? They want to get it started don't they?

Meh, would anyone really worry about shutting down San Fran? :D

It's how it starts. It only took the Russians 70 years to figure out communism was a bad idea and they are still in trouble 20 years after the wall came down. Too bad these idiots aren't learning that little factoid in the college classes they are missing. This is what happens when you let liberal teachers take over the education system of this country. Facts are distorted and omitted, plans are made and the youth in their exuberance are sent out to do the master's willing since they have been brainwashed to know the "truth."

Truth is, socialism, communism and the rest of the like -isms are bad ideas. And too bad nobody studies history any more.

Looks like they had a good time in Seattle:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/01/seattle-mayor-issues-emergency-order-after-may-day-mayhem/

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn says he's making an emergency declaration allowing police to confiscate items that can be used as weapons following violent May Day protests that left storefronts and car windows shattered.
Police said officers made at least three arrests after hundreds of people marched through downtown Tuesday afternoon. A 23-year-old man was arrested for vandalism and a 19-year-old man with a knife was also arrested.
Protestors dressed in black clothing smashed windows of retail stores and banks, and spray-painted parked cars, reported Q13 FOX News. NikeTown, American Apparel, HSBC, and Wells Fargo were among the businesses protesters vandalized.

Very well said.

If all these idjits spent a week in a communist country they would come back flag wavering patriotic right wing Americans. LOL

It only took Joseph Stalin executing his opponents for the general population to realize it was a bad idea, but it then took the next 60+/- years to get out from under that black cloud. Its one of those mistakes that takes generations to reverse. Many of these sheltered boys and girls have never had to answer and deal mistakes in their lifes and the long term effects of those mistakes. Long term affects to them is the 3 months they spent protesting. They dont realize that mistakes can have long term affects lasting life times.

Never mind, looks like security theatre in action:

True, and it's also the entitlement mentality. "I want, I want, I want." And darn those capitalist dogs for not giving me everything I want! It's not fair they have all this stuff and I don't! We should be equal and we should all have the same stuff! They should give up all their extra stuff so we all can have some!

Just about sums it up...

And along with this May Day affair, I leave you with two quotes that helps sum up the state of affairs with this item:

You cannot make a revolution with silk gloves. - Joseph Stalin

And the current "tax" proposals coming from the .gov.

The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation. - Vladimir Lenin

Just some food for thought. The information is all out there, one just has to look for it.

Spock is not amused.

I wish it were a joke, the worst joke is the career politicians.

I apologize for the thread drift.

lets not forget that the commies usurped the revolution from some inept revolutionaries.
i remember in 2nd or 3rd grade the teachers telling us that in communist countries the mothers are made to give up their kids to day care for propaganda indoctrination to put the state ahead of parents while the mother had to work all day in factory. back then they said that was a bad thing. now its the best thing.
they are starting up ocw here again and its the same riff raff. i volinteer at shelters etc. and to care for needy you have to also have to feed and house all the riff raff that come in as well, so i know who they are and am qualified in my own mind to say that. there are also some lefties who make a living on taxpayer funded not for profits here. they just start up some crazy bleeding heart foundation and give themselves a paycheck with grant money that is either direct govt' money or roundaboutly funded by us.
i suspect they will be the same ones going around in groups taking anything they can if things get as bad as many of us expect.

The leftists?

Na, those who aren’t stupid enough to get themselves killed in the ‘initial stages’(doing things like rioting when the army has been called in and permitted to fire live rounds) will likely try and set up little socialist ‘commune-ities’...
