Title: Environment protesters expelled from the House of Commons
Post by: viper37 on October 27, 2009, 01:57:47 PM
It's funny how easily journalists can be manipulated...
CBC interviews protesters some 3hrs after their eviction.  One of the protester has blood dripping all over his face and tells the reporter how brutally treated he was by the security guards...

No one seems to wonder why he didn't clean up 3hrs after the fact, or why there is still fresh blood on his face.

The protester was clean before entering the CBC studios... ;)

What if the protesters had been neo nazis. Then people would be cheering the blood flowing from the gashes in their heads.

the point is that it's fake.  They staged it.  They were never beaten.

Of course they staged it.  And now they should be executed, just as anyone who disrupts society for environmental reasons should be.

I'd cheer if it was real, without any need for them to be neo-nazis.
