Pretty selfish statement, since you didn't put a smiley next to it.

I edited when I realised how selfish I was being., it was meant to be a joke, but i agree this is a serious subject, and I hope the protests are going on when I get there, will be interesting to see.

This could be the flame that lights the fire for the spanish.

You mean the feeling of victory is the key to success. You mean the Spanish might carry that feeling to the streets, and infect the other protesters?

I think you are right. People behave different in large groups. Interesting to see.
If they loose the banks will be on fire, the same night. Thats my sort of prediction

I can see hell breaking loose, win or lose.

I, for one, cannot BELEIVE that this will spread like a fire.IT SHOULD , but i don't beleive.

One thing i know for sure.If ANY people on whatever country wants to bring up a change to the regime or the way they live, and the government is against them, there only 2 options (actualy one, because option 1 will soon become option 2) :
1.general strike and massive PEACEFULL protests.
2.brute force and violence to overthrow the regime.

Option 1 might work on SOME EU states, but i highly doubt the elite will agree with a general strike and massive protests without at least trying to ''clean up'' the streets /squares of protestesters.
That is why i beleive (sadly, there will be victims) that option 2 is the only REAL option.

And, tbh...anyone know a REAL revolution that succeded without violence?

That is what I see too.

We need to breathe again. So we got to face them

Any news update from anyone?

What is the line to be crossed, until we stand up?

Why aren't we standing up? (lazy, nany state, FEAR?)

This thread should be printed and handed to every human being on earth....

This is AMAZING..... There is unrest in a country, and the members of ATS are NOT blaming the United States..


I am sure if you dig hard enough, you'll crow bar USA and Israel into the mix, but for now, the facts and truth are prevailing!

That grandma looks like dick cheney (no wonder)

It disgusts me when I see this kind of police tyranny to the point that I would love to see a sniper with a .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle decapitating those pigs from a tall building nearby. I live north of Toronto and saw the same kind of tyranny during the G20 summit last summer and it filled me with absolute rage. The G20 fiasco basically set back police community relations by 30 years in Toronto. Nobody I know trust the pigs anymore and view them more as an enemy of freedom now.

Isn't Spain supposed to be a civilized Western European country?

Sure doesn't look like it anymore...

I'm always skeptical of police brutality videos that claim the crowd was peaceful...But in this case I am not seeing any evidence that the crowd was being anything but peaceful.

This is just wrong.

here some incredibly sad photos..

what the ### are these police doing?...they are attacking the very people they should be protecting..

there are calls for protests outside all of the worlds spanish embassies tonight at 9pm...if your in a city with a spanish embassy please go down

What type of gun rights? well maybe not the most popular idea but there's always ETA.

People in Europe should unite. These are Europeans, we are Europeans. (I know we are all human beings,but what can you do in he US or Asia for us. You got the same battle going on over there for yourself)

I would be death or in jail right now if I were there. I am fearless, and am angry
