Hey are you guys actually watching these or no?
Wow, never seen that on a horse before. They should put metal horns on them.
What's that quote libs are so fond of...
Violence begets violence.
Or maybe, violence never solved anything.
Or what about, violence isn't the answer?
Or do as I say, not as I do because I'm better than you.
LoLz
Great Pix Everyone !!

The only word that comes to mind about you when I read your post is IGNORANT.
How about you do some research before you come on here and comment on the topic of free speech in the U.S. You don't even know how the United States has defined "lawful assembly" according to constitutional law.
p.s. what those dumbass protesters took part in was not a lawful exhibition of "free speech"

Well you know what they say about opinions.... they're like assholes, everybody has one.....and they all stink.
This isn't about freedom of speech, this is about keeping general civil order, these aren't protestors they are anarchists who are doing nothing but causing massive damage to property that isn't theirs and it's just stupid.
Look if you want to have a whole drawn out intellectual "discussion"then start a thread in the appropriate area of the forum, not here, pics only.
[edit] whoa, I remember those from awhile ago, but there are some others that I didn't see, cool pics He!
Free speech is just that, Speech. You can protest and say whatever you want. What you cant do is destroy every bit of property in your path includeing store windows, newspaper machines, trash cans, police cars, civilian cars etc, and you sure cant attack law enforcement. Last time I checked you cant do those things in Australia either.
LoL, Since when do a group of anarchists represent the American people?Yes very true in a black and white world. It seems to me that perhaps the American people are sick of being manipulated andlied too, and are perhaps simply feed up with what their country has come to? After all going from being a symbol of hope in the world to one of the most disliked countries in the world must be tough to take.
IMO the world is going to revolt against all authorities soon.....
You dont have a clue about the American people. Your tinfoil hat is cutting of the blood flow to your brain.
Ok ok, we've all pointed out dudes douchebaggery, lets see some pics.....
CHECK OUT THAT WATER...... I gotta get to the shore......

Bashar El-Assad: there is an opportunity to peace with Israel.
I beg to differ, answer me this simple qeustion. Why is this ploice officer dressed in battle dress and carrying an assualt rifle with sapre clips? You in a major city here not in the stan, yeah i may be ignorant but i honestly don't get it. Regardless if they are breaking the law or not its completely unnecessary and a cheap form of intimidation, am i the only one who sees this?
