I have NEVER called someone a government shill before. even when I violently disagree with someone......but that may change....
Fact is most people on this thread are finding it hard to believe I do too.
And what we want is further investigation.
The fact that your doing your best to deflect the issue to off topic foreign affairs and doing you absolute best to to discourage any further investigation into the matter or label those that want the matter looked into "anti American" raises alarm bell.
Even if one does not believe it true they should AT LEAST be wanting the matter investigated even if its to just to confirm nothing is going on.
I'm with you 100% on the suspicion of shillery. I'm far from a Shill hunter, and I know we aren't supposed to talk about other members, but this guy constantly repeats some of the most bizarre pro-corruption talking points. You can always count on him to dismiss anyone who is even slightly critical of wrong doing.
When a report of wrong doing comes out, and the best you could come up with is "anyone who considered the possibility of wrong doing is anti-American" over and over in thread after thread, it's hard not to raise an eyebrow.
To suggest it's anti-american to ask questions in regards to something that goes against our foundation of freedom is just bizarre. If anything it's anti-American to prevent people from trying to preserve our freedom. It's anti-american to protect people that would ruin this nation.

You are getting all worked up over a foreign pro demonstrator hatchet job. No proof. Bigfoot section at least has grainy photos.
Actually this should be in the hoax bin because the title says confirmed, and nothing is confirmed that has been claimed.

And the fact you use the word demonstrators as a dirt word speaks volumes. Not all demonstrators are a bad thing, and the right to demonstrate is vital in a free society.

Ones that get convicted of possessing an incendiary device at a protest are not good protestors or the kind of protesting protected under the Constitution.
Lobbing molitovs must equal good protester in your book.

Oooooo
Look right out of a text book
See people how it takes my quote and spins it into something i never said.
This
1) deflects from the topic at hand
2) trys and discredits the poster
Not peoole how it latchs on to this one point but ignores the core of my post that relates to the topic.
For the record no that is NOT what I said.
I was saying not all demonstations and protests are a bad thing.
If they have petrol bombs then yes that is a bad thing.

When people say that they don't trust people and abhor the idea of individualism they are necessarily statists.
The most common form of statism here is socialism.
If you aren't, you are still a jerk.

Green... Null...
I don't think either of you are that different. You both want change for the better. Let's start there, okay?
Null doesn't hold out hope for a non-violent solution and Green has hope. There really is no reason for you two to be bantering back and forth.
Division is the pacifying medicine of the elite served to us on a daily basis.

Did you even read the story? The whole story is about a guy who got convicted of having an incendiary device at a protest then came out with these unproven accusations.

Defund departments. Pull the plug before it's too late.
While I agree that certain elements of law enforcement are out of control, what alternative would you propose for controlling crime? I mean, if you eliminate law enforcement you have anarchy. Certainly you don't believe that all members of our society would effectively police themselves. I doubt the honor system would work here in America. Or anywhere else for that matter.
An armed and vigilant populace.

I agree 100% with your posts in here - up to this one.
A true libertarian society (which I believe is what you propose?) wouldn't even need that much of a vigilant populace.
The 'need' for repression on the levels like in the U.S. is a product of statism and lack of freedom in the first place.
This needs to be emphasised. Freedom is the solution - the lack of it is the problem.
