Dumbasses strike again

*** The following are opinions. Some of them may be considered 'harsh', but you have to remember that these are just opinions. Everybody has them and if you don't like it, well that's your opinion and you're welcome to it. ***

I saw an item on the news this morning about the dregs of society. Well, not quite. It was an item about a 'protest' (the reason for the quotes will be apparent later) in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside last night. Basically, a group of idiots, looking to be mostly in their mid-twenties as far as I could tell, rallied together in an 'anti-police protest'. Most of them had covered their faces. It wasn't so much a protest as an excuse to commit vandalism, property crime, and assault. As they rallied at the starting point, Global TV cameramen tried to get closer and get more information. They were told, in no uncertain terms, that they were "not welcome here". The mob (because that's really what it became) ended up marching the streets, knocking over newspaper and mail boxes, blocking off streets with these and other barricades, etc. At one point, they assaulted one of the cameramen, knocking his camera to the ground. Three arrests were made during the night. In one incident, some 'protesters' were screaming "police brutality". It's not police brutality when there's one officer holding a 'protester', trying to restrain him, while four other 'protesters' surround them, despite how many times you say it is. You can find more details from this article: Rally in Vancouver turns violent.

Now, these people are just dumbasses wasting precious air, food, and space; they serve no useful purpose in society at all. If you're going to rally and protest, at least have a real reason, not just to be public nuisances. I'd like to see them try that in certain other countries; they'd be imprisoned or dead before they left their original rally point... which in this case, may not be the worst thing. I'm not condoning them, or saying I would want to live in one, but dictatorships and military states do have some benefits. Of course, the negatives far outweigh these, but there are benefits. I'm going to leave it at that before I end up with a twenty page rant.


And now on a completely different and lighter note, some quotes from bash.org:

That is all.
