Olympic Protesters...Why?

Post by Doc »

So, what exactly are these morons protesting? Vandalizing downtown Vancouver streets and store fronts. Their point is?
Where is the billion dollar security service? Probably preventing cargo 767's from landing at YVR?
Don't drag them off incognito. Unmask them on National TV, so we can see who these cowardly maggots are. Their identities should be made public. They're a bloody disgrace. Deal with them as such.

This calls for the rectum-haemorrhaging YWG police (ask cpl_atc. he’ll explain)! They always videotape their assaults. It’s a tradition thing.

Why the Police just stand around and watch is beyond me. You break the law you go to jail, end of story.

Half the reason for the protests is to provoke the police into action to embarrass the city. I'd like nothing more than for the cops to march in with rubber bullets, batons and bear spray, and haul off the idiots after they'd been badly beaten, but it'd look really bad on the world stage.

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.

Must be a tough situation to deal with... the police have to act very carefully because the of the dynamic nature of an unpredictable crowd. If they try advance aggressively to arrest people it might worsen the situation, yet if they stand back too long it looks like they're just letting it happen. I fault the media partially, because they jump down their throat the minute they do "too little/too much". One of those situations where I try to ignore the media and defer to the professionals. (who are professional, most of the time)

These "protesters" who feel they are trying to spread their message... are nothing more than criminals. How dare they carry an anti-poverty banner then continue to destroy public and private property. Who has to pay to clean this up? Boggles my mind.

Think this is more of a case of a bunch of idiots looking for a place to be idiots, not protestors.

Because it's Vancouver!

Most times, they don't need a reason. This time, they've got something to rally around. :roll:

These particular "protesters" are looking for a riot, period. Even during their press conference, few days prior, they were already warning about violence and place all responsibility on the police. They are domestic terrorists. The use of violence and intimidation to drive their agenda is no different from the Taiban or ELF. Even a few years back, a few local social organizations deliberately distanced themselves from these bunch. To brand these people as "protesters" gives the rest of the legitimate advocate groups a black eye.

I'm with cpl_atc and N181CS on this one. I think the police should take a time out and ask those young people if they have unresolved issues with their parents and if they must throw rocks through windows to release pentup aggressions that if not eased could result in antisocial behavior. Or, like Hs-748 says, shoot them or turn up the voltage on those tasers.

Unmasking these goons and public humiliation should be involved in their punishment. Christ if a guy gets busted with a hooker in some places he will be publicly shamed in newspapers. Why not do that with these asstards.

Oh, that makes me wish I were still young and fit enough "to git me some of that."

Wielding a baton on some of those little anti-social scum would be a great service to my fellow man. Some rubber bullets would be a real treat, and we need some Tear Gas canisters working in the crowd too. We couldn't leave the Fire Dept out of the fun, they could turn up the pressure on the hoses and hit them with about 175 PSI and roll a few of them down the street, and back into the gutter they came from.

I was caught in a riot in Vancouver at the Rolling Stones Concert of 1972 and gained a new level of respect for the police in the way they handled themselves as we, the legitimate paying concert-goers were greeted by rock-throwing, fighting, vandalizing, pieces of scum outside the coliseum who felt they were entitled to see the show for free.

cpl-atc, too freakin' bad, but you are simply out of step with reality. There is only one thing "these people" understand, and that's force directed at them individually, and it has to hurt really badly before they will stop the behaviour.

Cpl ATC and the rest of the anti-police crowd - how did the VPD and RCMP screw-up this situation? How many innocent people did they injure as they brutally repressed this peaceful protest? What should they have done differently in your expert opinions?

Wilbur don't worry about the police, unless they start pulling out their weapons.

Gentlemen, and I use the term reservedly, I cannot believe some of the responses to this thread. Shooting and tazering indeed! The police need to be censured, not encouraged, for their atrocious behaviour. They have acted with total disregard for the safety of the protesters, who, after all, are just exercising their right to protest under our sacred Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You have obviously not stopped to think for two seconds how all the money spent on the Olympics could have been put to much better use. There is a crying need for safe injection sites, from Dawson to Dildo, that could be funded by the monies used to present this crass exercise in commercialism. Many among the protesters sport tatoos and assorted body piercings, no doubt creating serious issues of self-esteem with these young adults. Why else would they resort to theft and vandalism? Monies saved by proroguing the Olympics could have been better served by supplying free skin transplants to cover such unsightly art. How many articles of body jewelry could be removed and the holes faired over from just a fraction of the waste expended on these games? Finally, monies would be instantly available for free colo-rectal surgery to repair the anal ravages inflicted by brutal police action against car thieves everywhere, from Thasis to Twillingate, not just Winnipeg, at no strain on the public purse.

You people calling for retribution against those young adults, children really, have proven yourselves to be a cold and uncaring lot.

You know, I promise to make amends. I will use my money and influence, and legions of hypnotically controlled mind slaves, to bring about an economic crisis, which will encourage that tyrant in conservative's clothing to declare martial law, which will lead to mass arrests, and of course, feudalism. Yup. This suits the agenda of both the Doc and CPL_ATC. Fine. Fine with me. I could handle living in the Middle Ages. Everyone loves the middle ages. Mmmm. Small carbon footprint. Low meat diet. Yes. Yes. I care.

Hallelujah! I have converted one who heretofore resided in darkness. Let your light shine brother. We should volunteer to supply epidermis, if required, to help cover the unsightly body art. Thus we may never be accused of being uncaring, rednecked louts but rather that we gave the skin off our asses to a most worthy cause.

HS: I thought that I was doing just that and more already. Those poor misunderstood poverty stricken mindless little children who were mistreated by their parents and brutilized by the jack-booted police need our full unselfless support. And a .38 behind the left ear for ventilation!

I wanna’ test iiii ffy!! I am but a white oppressor who has been given every advantage of the invisible knapsack of white privilege. When I compare my wage to the thirty six of a social worker, or the twenty seven fifty of a needle exchange intern, or the forty five seventy five of a street nurse, I can only conclude that my invisible privileges are invisible indeed, but the tax burden that is levied upon my head as reparations for crimes that neither I nor my ancestors committed is something that I should not complain about. You do not have to be a serious leftist, with an indexed pension and postcards from your vacation to Cuba to be able to rationalize this one. Now get to work, so others that never work can keep up their voting for those that keep you working and them not, you taxpaying racist scum.
