Last week, when hundreds of thousands of people in Madrid, Barcelona and throughout Spain protested, rioted, rebelled and called for the forced resignation of every one of their parliamentary representatives and the formation of a new government, the silence from global mainstream media was deafening.
With jobless rates for those between the ages of 20 and 35 exceeding 50%, further social spending measures promised by the government, and tens of billions in handouts being transferred to large financial institutions in the broader Euro Zone, those impoverished by the economic collapse of the last four years would not be silenced.
They took the streets in droves. They rushed their parliament building, forcing representatives to barricade themselves inside. They confronted their government head on.
And for their transgressions, they were indiscriminately fired upon, beaten, and bloodied by riot police; men, women, young, old, it mattered not to the policing arm of the global elite.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Moral of the story: don’t participate in the riot.
I don’t know if I’m opposed to the government using aggressive tactics against freeloaders who riot because their welfare benefits have been reduced. Seems to me that I’m more concerned about a repeat of the Rodney King riots when the police sat around doing nothing about such people.
I want to disagree and I can not believe that US service men would fire on everyday American Civilians exercising their constitutional rights, but we also must consider it has happen before in our history during direr times and two of the officers in charge were a pair of our most conservative Generals Douglas MacArthur and George Patton.

Police are forced to crack down at times against leftist freeloader mobs demanding their gravy train continue. Sorry, not too worried about this. I don’t have any sympathy for liberals rioting in the streets of Europe trying to preserve their bloated welfare states. If the police have to crack heads, I say good on them.
Waco.
Those were Federal agents, not soldiers.
The tanks were from Fort Hood.
“Waco was strictly federal law enforcement agencies - not military.”
The feds got assistance from the military in violation of “posse comitatus”.
They trumped up a drug charge to get around posse comitatus.
The previous residents had some kind of drug lab, but the Davidians dismantled the equipment. Drugs were not an issue at Waco.
The NRA wanted to X-ray the supposed illegally converted rifles to see if the conversion was done before or after the fire, and they were not allowed access to them.
Federal troops were used on the Bonus Army.
Yep, just a bunch of freeloaders.
In January, without any recognizable corporate media coverage, Rep. Bob Filner, a California Democrat, introduced H.R. 675. The bill would amend title 10 of the United States Code and extend to civilian employees of the Department of Defense the authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms. The bill was referred to the Armed Services Committee on January 26, 2009.
Rep. Bob Filner
Filners bill would amend the United States code with the following: Sec. 1585b. Law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense: authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms for any offense against the United States. (Emphasis added.) ...
...
HR 675 reintroduced, now HR 324 -01/2011
If you haven't seen, Rep Filner has reintroduced his resolution. It is now HR 324 with some minor changes.
I know not everyone is going to be happy with it but it is what it is and is better than nothing. I know the guy who did the leg work to meet with Filner and he did it for everyone.
If you are a 0083, you need to get behind it and lobby your reps to support it. It is easy to complain but who is willing to step up? I am gonna be in DC next month for the AFGE Legislative Conference and already have meetings with my reps to lobby for their support. ...

The OWS leftist riot was tolerated by the crooks in office and their cronies. The politicians have sold their souls to Socialism. Any rioters will be placated by more free stuff from the government. Just another IOU to the Fed. The US military would be stupid to intervene when the whole house of cards collapses. Even Yamamoto feared armed Americans. It would not be wise for anyone to fire on an armed American.

MONDAY, MAY 4, 1970 Kent State University
if it happens when you’re in the middle of it when it begins or if it comes to your neighborhood you will be an unwiling participant, probably,
...Like a million parasites fighting over the last host. This is what happens when government-addicted junkies discover the government is all out of heroin. ...Coming soon, to a concentrated Democrat parasite nest ("city") near you.
Ohio National Guard called up by Gov. Rhodes, in Kent State.
One could take over DC with a box cutter. However, there is a lot of lead in the Appalacian hills that one would not want to mess with. Besides, if some Arab can build an IED, an American will build one 100x better. Any student of the Civil War knows that Americans are very good at killing each other and the result is a flip of the coin.
Why else would federal agencies be accumulating massive amounts of ammunition in recent weeks/months?
proof yet again that if you are going to a protest, do NOT be anywhere NEAR the PERIMETER!!!
And your point is?
Spain recently elected a conservative government which is trying to reign in spending and get their social welfare state under control. The communist trade unions, socialist political party’s and non producing leechers have been holding mass protests and rioting. These leftists are violent and police are forced to take a heavy hand with them now and again. I am certainly not sympathetic to a bunch of lazy liberal non-producers stomping around in the streets because they may lose some of their freebies.
Some readers fail to see the general demographic of the protesters in Spain and those likely to be protesting here in the near future. ;-)
Kent State?
Yes, of course I know that. He said Waco.
Deltas were there.
These fools were indoctrinated from birth that they are due their fair share. The well of "other peoples money" is running dry.
With jobless rates for those between the ages of 20 and 35 exceeding 50%, further social spending measures promised by the government...
sounds like young people who are pissed about being unemployed and more government spending (taxes on them).
I don't doubt there are freeloaders as well.
It almost appears that the policia are egging them on to respond to the attacks. It’s as if they want them to attack and riot and respond do that they can bring out the big guns and dispose of them
National Guard troops fired upon demonstrating Kent State students. Eight were killed. The students were protesting the Vietnam war. i.e. Government troops killed American citizens and the citizens were not harming the troops.
“the government said that the people were child molesters”
Koresh thought he was Jesus Christ and was having sex with underage girls.
What bothers me is hearing people say “he got what he deserved”. He should have been tried and punished for that.
What used to separate the U.S. from banana republics, African warlord hellholes, and Godless commie regimes in due process of law.
David Koresh was denied due process by the feds going all Judge Dredd on the Davidians and executing them on the spot.
The congressional hearings on Waco were a joke because they tried the Davidians to deflect the purpose of the hearings, which was to investigate the federal agent’s wrongdoings.
At least the Davidians were acquitted of murdering the ATF agents. Texas law allows citizens to defend themselves if law enforcement uses unnecessary deadly force on them.
The ATF rolled out of their trailers shooting, instead of properly serving the warrant. Koresh was always willing to cooperate with the local sheriff.
The feds could have picked Koresh up anytime he was out jogging or in town. The raid was just a show for the ATF to look good in the media, and it cost WAY too many innocent lives.
All we had then was Rush, and Billy Jeff tried like heck to take that!
If that ever happens in D.C. I hope some Congressional Aide gets it all on his iPhone and uploads it to youtube.
That would be like the greatest present anyone could every get me. Especially if they got video of Pelosi and Reid being tarred and feathered!
Dr. Sam Vaknin, an expert on narcissitic behavior warned of this scenario back in early 2009 saying that if the world of reality came crashing down around the classic narcissist Obama, that the typical reaction of a narcissist in that case is a scorched earth approach.
Anyone who thinks that is not capable of happening here in the U.S. is either unbelieveably naive or has terminal normalcy bias.
Not if the riot is in Oakland California, or Detroit.
Be sure to aim low.

Obama Zombies on Twitter Threaten to Riot if BHO Loses His Re-election Bid
If that ever happens in D.C. I hope some Congressional Aide gets it all on his iPhone and uploads it to youtube.
Eight were killed.....wrong....4 were killed and 9 others wounded at the time of the shooting.
So it looks like Obama and the Democrats will be arresting and possibly shooting their own people? It will be the “takers, not the makers” who will riot.
The Courts are the first to fail when a government is collapsing. We can sing all the songs of yesterday but America is going downhill until we replace both political parties and their leadership. Vote for God and the Tea Party.
