Dispatches from the State Ministry of Truth

[mongers]

Mono, what say you retitle this thread:

Bulletins from the State Ministry of Truth and Well-being.

[Razgovory]

You guys are really coming down hard on Mono here.  Half of you would be doing the same.

[DontSayBanana]

I need to remind you where I stand on this constantly

Yeah.  Firmly in the wrong.

Thankfully, I can say from experience dealing with the Occupy Philadelphia crowd that I would not be part of that half.  Inconvenient, yes.  Unhygienic and making Philly smell worse than usual, yes.  But I never tried to call it rioting or cackled with glee as they were assaulted by counterprotesters or police officers.

Where are the bodies and Molotov Cocktails and shit?  What kind of riot is this?

That's some small bucklers on the riot police.

That's some small bucklers on the riot police.

They have much bigger, rectangular ones.  Those are better for defence though, as they are heavy and bulky, but offer better protection.  In this case, the police are on the offense, so they use smaller ones for quick advance.

That isn't possible.

Its nice to see police states give their police some fashion options.

I don't remember Philly smelling bad.

The cheesecake smell. Like rotten steak 'ums.

Next time I go to The Cheesecake Factory I'll ask for my cake WIZ WIT.

Spending every day rage venting to a crowd that sympathizes more with the object of your ire? Doesn't sound very enticing to me.

We're hardly in a position to criticize.

Rioters tried to retake Lun Wo road last night.



Police reinforcements arrived to pepper spray them.
