Riot?? Quoting: BackFromTheDeadOh shit, was I supposed to riot tonight? Did I miss it? Oh, wait. I'm white. Whites don't riot. Nevermind. [link to en.wikipedia.org] During the mid-90's there were a series of small "Deadhead Riots" peaking with a large scale riot at the Deer Creek Music Center near Indianapolis in July 1995. The riot was triggered by several gatecrashing incidents and resulted in the fence at the venue being torn down by rioting Deadheads and subsequently the cancellation of the next day's show. The riot received national attention and is immortalized by Keller Williams in his song "Gatecrashers Suck" in which he calls the rioters "cock sucking motherfuckers."[15] |

There was a designated riot area. End of story. Quoting: OilAwakeningEnd of story? Okay, you took the blue pill. Have fun with that. I'm going to live in the real world. They used the blue one for sure! LOL Just to clarify for the previous poster....there was a designated PROTEST area, not "designated riot area." Well that is the question, isnt it? Definitely an interesting proposition... Interesting, but not exactly true. To an extent... Kind of. Gosh, I'm getting tired. The police aren't pushing things because their funding may be cut soon, they are hoping that it isn't because of this, so they are holding off some. But they are not allowing this to happen in the full extent. This is an expression of rage. People are pissed. They don't know what else to do. And really, their only other option is to attack the cops. So, they are letting them do this,, kind of. Because they also cover their tails first and foremost. They are tired. They don't have a great command structure. Their funding is low, they are demoralized and a lot of the citizens they are to "protect" hate them. They don't really give a rats but if stores are looted. Insurance will cover that. SO they are doing a little management. They don't want things to get out of control, but they don't want to get hurt, and they don't want to inflame things. Plus, riots are unpredictable. Group think is interesting stuff.. I've felt it. You almost loose complete control of yourself. The group becomes one. They have to have extremely overwhelming numbers to go into a situation like that, or they might be killed. It's intense stuff when you aren't watching it on your computer. Those helmets and shields don't mean squat on the street. I've charged a hundred horse mounted cops in a group before. The group mind is a amazing thing. Plus, they don't want to extenuate the circumstances by getting caught hurting someone else. So they have their kid gloves on. Oh, it's so complicated. But this is one area I do know well. And they are not allowing people to loot because they want it to happen. It's much more complicated than that. Yes I can feel your experience. Mine is one where the cops went home and hid. And it was therefore a party. But still, in NAmerica, ie the developed world, the tactics are getting amazingly sophisticated anticipating and preparing for all sorts of things, even what "USED TO BE" the unpredictability of a riot. Just guessing here, since yes I have been observing these what appear to be more and more managed events. Esp when I see masses of paramilitary uniforms gather. Obviously a plan is being implemented when you see that kind of organization... That I can agree with. But this isn't organized by them. It's the media and the response that is. They push and prod yes. Oh, I should shut up on theory right now. I'm too tired. I think we agree to an extent. But this isn't what they want to happen. And those are mostly Oaklanders on the street. And the "outsiders" still live in the bay area. If I was under attack, I would want people from round rock to help me. The basis of what I was commenting on was entirely bs. They didn't want a riot. But they obviously didn't go full bore against it. I'll leave it at that for now. Hopefully I will be able to provide more insightful commentary tomorrow. I've enjoyed the discourse nonetheless. it's about my time.... Anyway, I am not looking for a pissing match. Just some of my insights mixed with yours. I still say the cops are no dummys. They have a plan, and mixed with bureaucracy they will methodically implement that plan. As an anarchist you have to be unpredictable, but support mass organization at the same time even when you think it too slow or corrupt. I dont know,,, people will at times be far more advanced the dogma and surprise everyone,,,, That's when it gets real.... Like I've said earlier, I mostly agree with you. Although I could use a pissing match right now. hehe Really though, I agree. But logistics without organization in our disjointed world is a whole other story. There has to be strong leadership in a group without leaders. Charisma and anonyimity. And even given that, you need a little luck. Facing an extremely well armed and prepared police force is no easy task for the most adept. Give away a flaw or two and you are screwed. Given the psychological preparedness through the MSM of the current situation, you are facing a tough situation to say the least. Surprise is still a vital tactic, and there was none for this night. Maybe another. Let the system unwind then KApow! Ah, but that would take a great awakening. Or would it? Have you heard of insurrectional Anarchy? It is our greatest hope, but also the most limited. Technology has tied theory up in knots. No i havent heard of the words "insurrectional anarchy". But perhaps we defined it without me knowing it. Put it into your own words and I'll see if it sounds familiar or not... |

Officers pulled several men, including Grant, off the train when it arrived at Fruitvale. The video showed Mehserle pulling his gun and fatally shooting Grant in the back as another officer knelt on the unarmed man. Mehserle resigned his position a few days after the incident and was later arrested in Nevada. |

Because what I SAW were a bunch of highly educated white and black people protesting police executions. or.. are you cool with that? To quote my self earlier quoting Pastor Martin Niemöller [link to en.wikipedia.org] "THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. THEN THEY CAME for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time no one was left to speak up.Martin Niemöller was a German pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892. Niemöller was an anti-Communist and supported Hitler's rise to power at first. But when Hitler insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller became disillusioned. He became the leader of a group of German clergymen opposed to Hitler. Unlike Niemöller, they gave in to the Nazis' threats. Hitler personally detested Niemöller and in 1937 had him arrested and eventually confined in the Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps. Niemöller was released in 1945 by the Allies. He continued his career in Germany as a clergyman and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after World War II. His poem is well-known, frequently quoted, and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy, as it often begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates out of control. |
