“This is a good write up of the protests.”
Versus what is being reported in the local (Twin Cities) media.
Only one local media news vehicle was attacked. Tires slashed....
The local FOX outlet.

Just hang ‘em by the neck on a rope for an hour or so. I think their behavior will be much improved by the experience.

She smiles, flashes a peace sign, and turns away. Peace rioters.

The fact that the left-leaning Slate is
calling out their own is a great credit to them. They are a fine publication.

Read the intro to “Misunderestimated,” to get an idea of a moment in the life of a true conservative.

Protests are fine but when someone puts on a mask they should be arrested immediately! They are hiding their faces for a reason.

ROFL3: "Are you NPR?" asks one protester excitedly.

These idiots were chanting, “The whole world’s watching!”. Good grief, talk about old hackneyed cliches. Might as well be screeching, “23 skidoo!”

I am on real limited time before we get back on our not so fun journey here so to the point I am curious (webtv links take for ever to go too)...
Is this for real or is it fiction?

An Escalade tries to drive slowly through the tape, but a few kids stand in front of it, arms out, daring the SUV to hit themI don't drive an Escalade, but if any of these idiots tried to block my progress on a public road, they'd best be prepared to pick pieces of my front bumper out of their rears.
I'll tell them ONE time to get out of the way, then I will consider them part of the street....

The whole world really is watching this time, since the media can’t cover for the communards, at least not completely.
They are being exposed for the criminals they are.

Just hang em by the neck on a rope for an hour or so. Naw...too drastic. Just use plastic ties to tie them to a nearby lamp post, pull their pants down to their ankles and leave them there so the rest of society to make fun of them. Get a couple of pictures while your at it and send it to their parents so they know how their kids are spending their time. Oh...the parents have to pay a hefty fine to get the police to cut them free.

It tracks with what others have been reporting.
The Slate reporter wasn't on scene when the Connecticut and Alabama delegations got attacked. That was ugly and dangerous.

"This is the Boston Tea Party!" he yells again, this time at my notepad. He realizes this is weird. "I'm yelling at your pad like it's a microphone," he observes. Like, Dude...

A Republic if you can keep it.
