Riot police surrounded up to 240 demonstrators in central London, many wearing scarves covering their faces, who broke away from a rally in Trafalgar Square at about 5pm.

Up to 200 were tracked by a police helicopter as they ransacked the coffee shops in Piccadilly and Shaftesbury Avenue while 40 more were contained in Hyde Park, thought to be on their way to the Israeli embassy in Kensington.

Abdulah Abdulah, 25, a clerk from Birmingham said: "The whole world knows this is something serious and the reason that people are angry is that they are getting more frustrated because nothing is being done."

Yes I am very agry that the hooligans are not rounded up and put in jail!

I wonder if the protests there in Europe are being organized by commies like they are here? Could well be.

WWP then started up a new "peace" group called Troops Out Now. -ETL

"The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a Marxist party in the United States founded to promote revolutionary change.[2]

It was originally created as the result of a split within the ranks of the Workers World Party (WWP). The San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington, D.C. branches of WWP left almost in their entirety to form the PSL. The PSL has since established branches in several additional urban centers across the United States."

Isn’t anything a .45 slap to the head wouldn’t cure.

[DieHard the Hunter]

I couldn’t think of a more CURIOUS target for their wrath if I tried really hard...

To the best of my knowledge Starbucks isn’t particularly pro-Israel: if anything they help prop up the economies of several musim rat-hole banana republics by paying a “fair price” for their coffee! And they are Liberal as well.

So why Starbucks? Is it only because it is an American company??? Are these people truly that pig-ignorant??

Ahhhhhhh. So he’s fair game just because he’s a Jew. Makes sense, (I guess).

What a twisted world these muslims live in. I hope they have their “paradise” organized better than this, else they are destined to be miserable for eternity.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

If Schultz is a liberal, wonder what he NOW makes of his Pali ‘brothers and sisters in the great united front against capitalism”?

[ETL]

Attacking places like Starbucks and MacDonald’s is something the commie-anarchist left is known to do. Not that the mob wasn’t mostly Muslim, but rather that the actions were orchestrated by anti-Capitalist leftist groups.

[ETL]

Make that MAY have been orchestrated by anti-Capitalist leftist groups. As I pointed out earlier commie front groups like International A.N.S.W.E.R. are behind many of the large-scale anti-Israel protests here in the United States.

[hinckley buzzard]

Exactly. Stupid children. Insular and provincial serfs will believe anything.

“Are these people truly that pig-ignorant??”

Pigs are very smart animals, you are being unkind to them by comparing them to these commies.

[pepperdog]

It's hard to figure out why they target Starbucks, maybe because it's associated with the USA or maybe because they are just plain stupid. Then there's that quirky little thing they have about destroying and killing. Just hard to figure out which is the motivating factor of the moment.
