Sometimes I laugh until I can't stop screaming.

Defense Department sees protests as terrorism

(More at link.)


Doesn't that just make you want to eat stars and shit stripes? http://www.principiadiscordia.com/fo...ult/roglol.gif

Well I suppose their reasoning is that protesters are amassing a group of people to pressure another group or corporation or government into doing what they want.

The definition of terrorism includes words like fear etc, so I assume a group of people gathered together might make some people scared.

I just scream, completely skip the laughing.

Fuck this terrorism shit, and our gov't. Go anarchy!

Wow. That's worrying. Not entirely a huge surprise...but nonetheless

By that standard, I'm a terrorist because I weigh 120 kilos with a bald head and a fu-manchu mustache.

Problem is, our constitution specifically calls out the right to protest, in any size group, so long as the group is peacable.

But that's just a silly piece of hemp some hippies wrote on back 220 years ago. We keep it in the Smithsonian to keep the government from literally shitting on it.

You have to learn to see the humor in these things.

TGRR,
Goin' out with a smile.

At least we aren't in Britain. They've started waterboarding regular (accused) criminals now.

So we'll be doing that sometime next week.

Well you did almost inflict terror on the cellar with your pictures...sooooo...

Funny, I never pictured you as a big guy. I had something different in mind. lol

I look like this:

Except there's only one of me. Most times. Also, my skin color is normally "ruddy", not "toxic yellow".

I thought you were 'comic book guy' for a minute

Who?

From the Simpsons. Do you watch the simpsons?

I haven't watched television since 1987, I'm afraid.

This is him

Hehe...I did get a little chunky after my last divorce, but it's mostly gone, now.

Basically, I decided on "no life" for a while. I am either on the internets, at work, at the gym, or unconscious. No stopping for ridiculous bigass cheeseburgers, either. It's all veggies and shit now.

Kill me.

It was mostly the yellow and the expanse of forehead and the goatee in your pic that made me think of CBG moreso than the size of his girth. ;)

I need that forehead, to store my ego. Also, the goatee is a fu manchu now.

Yeah...dont be fooled by that whole not carrying guns thing.

You hear about that shit? Over here, it was just a blip. I would have missed it, except I have little news bots that filter out the funny shit for me.

Well, yes. It's not "what the funny foreigners are doing" over here, it's proper news.

*chokes on coffee*

That was funny chika.

I'm actually quite impressed to have a Merkin point it out to us. It's pretty domestic as news goes.

That isn't what I said. But you knew that.

*chuckles* true dat :P

But it was a fairly domestic story. Over here it was massive news.

Gee, I wonder what they would do if people turned out to protest like they have in Iran the past few days? Wouldn't THAT be a riot, if the Iranian government handled protesters better than our government?

Yeh just shooting into the crowd or rolling thru them with tanks....

4 dead in Ohio

Shoot people like TGRR and let people like you protest would be my guess.:p

Our government shoots into peaceful crowds all the time. They just use rubber bullets.

And honestly, I think if we had protests every day for a week, with crowds as big as the ones in Iran, then some people probably would die.

Especially if Al Qaeda members joined the protests...

I think I heard the mortal causalities from the Iranian protests were members of the anti-Iranian terrorist group Jundallah. They were supposedly trying to stir up a lot of shit.

:rolleyes:
Really?

I think you're going to have to show us, sugar. This comment is otherwise typical of the ridiculous, base rumors the Left trafficks in, being unused to honesty and dead to integrity.

They're not my type, I must say.

That is probably government propaganda. I seriously doubt that poor girl Neda was a terrorist. Only now the government is trying to shift the blame to some other source (like the US or Britain or some terrorist group), even though people on the street saw who shot her.

OK UG. I will have to take some time later to find it, but I remember a protest, I believe it was in florida sometime last year or maybe the year before, where many people were seriously injured from rubber bullets and other things, like maybe bean bags, that were shot into the crowds? People had posted a lot of pictures when that happened. You have to give me some time to find it though, since it was a while ago.

Another incident in 2003 article.

Sugar, google is your friend. This: florida shoot rubber bullets crowd, yielded both the youtube vid through one article and the second article from 03. ;)

Thanks Shawnee. :) I remember this one website that had tons of pictures and comments from people in the crowds. I would like to try and find that website again. I just didn't feel like looking for it earlier. I will look for it later.

Los Angeles, too.

And more...

Wow. I guess that just goes to show the the Police shoot people with rubber bullets ALL the time.

Not.

Not even close.

Just the other day, I was walking down the street, minding my own business...and rubber bullets started flying at me. Seriously.

But, those above were two separate instances. Maybe not all the time. Except for FL.

;)

Yea, well I was walking through the city when people started to throw Haggis out the windows. It was crazy!

That's the night that the haggis went out in Georgia!

:p

:lol2:

So OK, at really big protests then. :rolleyes:

Oh give us a frigging break. It is not happening ALL the time anywhere. Your socialist pettycoat is showing... :)

TEA parties are demonstrations. The biggest one on July 4 was over twenty thousand people, I believe? The one I was at had 3500, cumulative. The only security-type presence was a lady Garda employee. Who got amiably chatted up at the demonstration's end.

We may have had some resentful sort drive by us close and fast early on. But that was the sole instance of somebody pushing the envelope of public safety.

But nary a rubber bullet.

That's because the other 304,000,000 people were ignoring you.

Only when the demonstrators get violent and once in a blue moon a rogue cop.

Hip Deep in de Nile, Baby!
 

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce: I was there. And where were you? Stuff it -- you're failing as a funnyman. I know how we were cheered.

You're very generous in providing examples of the inferior mentality of the Left. You sure that's the company you'd rather keep?
