Turning the tables on activists

In October 2002 police had to break up an animal rights protest when school children in Aberdeen, Scotland pelted activists with cartons of milk.

Bwahaahaaaa!

This was in London?

Because he was on loan from the Kerry champaign to the D.N.C at the moment, lol.
The new fashion for the Green Peace people, File cabinet suits.

These jackasses were always willing to throw paint on women wearing fur.

You notice that they don't do that anymore.

I wonder if that is because of the CCW laws.

[SAJ]

Exactly, m'friend. Bet your life (or at least health) on that.

Screw with the cattle traders in front of a USDA report, or bean traders, bond traders too (although that mkt is going e- ) almost any time, and I'll wager that you'll find out just how clever your dentist IS, and in VERY short order!

I don't even want to think about what the NYMEX traders would do to these morons, should said morons invade THAT floor.

''Emeril Live!'' might just be featuring blood sausage dishes the next night.

And in the early days on the CBOE...get in the way of a trader and you'd get a pen in the eye,or at least a hard elbow in the ribs and these people weren't trying to stop trading/protesting.

I have never been more proud of my Scottish ancestry...

Heeheheee

As a good (well, ''good'' is relative) local in the bean pit once said to me...I was a runner and desk man in 1974...

''If you think I'm gonna run over you because you're in the way when I've gotta get something done, you might be right or you might be wrong. But, even if I do, between me and the Floor Committee, whaddaya wanna bet happens?''

He was, of course, EXACTLY correct.

I never tested that notion, either. Probably a good move on my part. Never tried to do ''2 point 7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu'', either. The result, I think, would have been about the same.

FReegards, and the best to you!

[MadIvan]

Yes, this happened here. :)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Works for me!

One protester concluded: "I have never seen anyone less amenable to our point of view."

LOL....that's got to be the quote of the day!

King Prout: Thanks for the ping.

Harmless Teddy Bear: Interesting point. It would seem that Robert Heinlein was right in noting that an armed society is more polite.

[ArcadeQuarters]

The bullies got bullied. Funniest story in a while!

They tried to start some Critical Ma[rxist] bike takeovers a few years ago, riding slowly down Main street and holding up traffic, but people began trying to run them down, and there were a few collisions.

The daily paper interviewed these goons, crying and moaning about how mean the people in the cars were to them, and there was an onslaught of letters saying that the motorists would continue to behave that way, that we won't allow Critical Mass to take over our city as they have so many.

Sounds like the only sane bit of Oregon!
