Anarchy - creating riots to demonstrate how well we work without rules.

Neoliberalism - creating individuals who believe that any reaction to it is anarchy.

Why give police guns and ammo if they're not allowed to use them?

They're allowed to use them. They're not allowed to kill or wound people without a damn good reason.

...which is more than obvius Snail.

Apparently this spilled into the Greek population Saint Louis, and led some protesting and shenanigans on the Delmar Loop.  There was even the potential for stuff to be getting blown up but police managed to quell it before anything could happen.

Cool beam graphics... oh wait



Good image.


There's been some unrest in Sweden as well recently. I wonder if the pebbles can still cast their vote...

Dang HT, I was just about to ask:



When did the Galatea get on station?

OK let me rephrase... Why give the police guns if they aren't allowed to kill or wound people without a "damn good reason"?

Also, define "a damn good reason".

[peterv]

In this particular case, the "damn good reason" was that the police officer thought that the kid he shot belonged to a group that insulted him earlier.
As for your first question i asume you are joking and in the same spirit i would ask from you the definition of the police.

The last time I checked the Galatea didn't last long enough to ever get fitted with ultra laz0r beam weapondry.

[chief1983]

Bah, they rechristened it in some fanon universe a la Star Trek's Enterprise then.  Shush.

[ssmit132]

It's not the Galatea, it's the Repulse, if it's coming from the protester's side.

[chief1983]

Repulse works.  So it's the NTD Repulse then.  Or that crazy destroyer from Derelict or whatever.

[Mobius]

Also, define "a damn good reason".

Saving an innocent's life by shooting a dangerous and armed person...that's a damn good reason.

I found 17, 33 to be hilarious, despite the situation in which they were taken.

The photographer is damn good.

They can torch and smash shops and cars all they want, they get my support there. Tension's gotta work its way out, its the govt's own fault for letting it get to this point.

But 11 and 13 just went too far. I don't know why, but the smashed potted plants on the floor, simply left to die, and the decorated burning Christmas tree really affected me. By all means they can assassinate the whole ****ing parliament but harming such beautiful sweet and innocent life is completely crossing the line.

This disturbed me even more than the recent video from the Ukraine that surfaced on 4chan.

[chief1983]

Wait, murdering supposedly 'bad' people isn't as bad as breaking some plants?

[KappaWing]

I know its strange, but that's exactly how the pictures and their accompanying descriptions made me feel, and I felt that very strongly. Perhaps that was an intent of the photographer?
