Mono, what say you retitle this thread:

You guys are really coming down hard on Mono here.  Half of you would be doing the same.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

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.

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.

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

Spending every day rage venting to a crowd that sympathizes more with the object of your ire? Doesn't sound very enticing to me.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
