This is^^ a noble painting of revolution rest assured it was as messy and much more destructive as than the bottom pic.

You can't compare that painting to what is going on right now..
What does this have to do with revolution?

Murder by LOEs acting as an occupation force, the Brits viewed the above as justified the folks on the bottom knew they had enough , the resulting violence of lootings and shootings, the Brits would consider Americans as lawless criminal thugs later to become armed insurgents.
The Americans knew they were angry and had enough!!
A riot is an uncontrolled undirected or poorly directed revolution that is smaller usually ugly but less destructive and will burn itself out after days or hrs.

Unless you happen to be on the other side of the blue line. Then the treatment is much different. You get your neck broken "because they forgot to strap you in while transporting you", for example. We also don't get a week to get our story straight when we shoot someone. We get seperated immediately, and questioned right away. Way different when it's cops.

So in other words...

The picture I posted has nothing to do with revolution and is just thug behavior but you are trying to justify it by claiming it is the same as what was being dealt with in the 1700's.

got it.

Just the excuse they need to make more liberty squashing laws.

Seriously, this is just pathetic.

Everyone on this site knows that our government, in every branch and from top to bottom, has grown absolutely corrupt.

When people finally get fed up and actually fight back, everyone on this site complains because now "the government has an excuse to write more draconian laws."

I don't know if it's occurred to you, but those laws are being written regardless as to whether we resist or not. At least if we actually fight we can say we tried, but peaceful protests are useless because we are simply herded into our "free speech zones."

Statements such as yours reflect the most counter-productive way thinking.

Want the drug war to end? Fight.
Want taxes decreased? Fight.
Want your weapons? Fight.
Your free speech? Fight.

It says in the Twitter feed that it's just old propaganda. Why should one believe this?

keep us informed..something going down.

I just heard that the gangs were talking with church members who were out trying to calm things down...and they were talking to that effect. NOT to kill cops, but to march with clergy to calm things down.

I dont know if thats true or not, but that is what is being reported.

Seriously some of you people.

How does looting and destroying businesses equate to protesting?

People are angry about being abused by government and their anger is finally exploding. There will always be opportunists in times like these, and instead of focusing on the issues that cause strife like this (government abuse), you choose to use shallow red herrings to divert attention away from what actually matters--the fact that people have had enough.

As always the truth is for the victor to write. If in some distant parallel universe these D-bags won a war against the system they would be seen as faultless heroes. Tearing down the system brick by brick, through violent, economic warfare

They will be put down like dogs without their voice even being heard. They chose violence. That was a big mistake.

a reply to: Obsrvr

Maybe it would be more helpful if charges were laid with the same intensity as for a civillian, let charges be laid and let the courts sort it out..never mind with 6 month investigations who's intent is to let the thing die down and go away.
The protesters have good reason to be there but unfortunatly the scumbags(rioters) will get all the attention now.

Or not.

In multiple threads I have said that police corruption needs to end.
I asked what that picture I posted had to do with revolution?
What does burning a home for senior citizens have to do with corruption?
What about pulling a guy from a store and beating him?

If people want to enact change then take the fight to politicians and govt. Looting , robbing and burning down your neighborhood is nothing but thug behavior..

Wait , is that red herring also?

I don't get it either if they are truly mad with the police then why destroy their own neighborhood instead of going to city hall?

Sounds reasonable. Similar occurrence during the LA riots in 92.

Just making an observation. Don't bite my head off.

But who do we fight?

I ask because all I see in Baltimore is opportunists destroying and stealing property, not an organized group of peoples fighting a corrupt system. I absolutely agree that we must find ways to fight back against the growing corruption but you don't lure others to a cause by ruining their lives. And there is no cause if destroying your neighborhood and hurting your neighbors is the entirety of your focus.

This is not a revolution.

a reply to: Daedal


It could not be more obvious that this is an engineered event. The calculated passivity of the 'police' is either allowing some steam to vent, or it is entirely more sinister....


All you secularists championing big daddy government to come and take care of you and your cause listen up:


THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!!!


This is just the tip of the iceberg of your social engineering disaster.


You are creating your own hell, and dragging down the few remaining people of good will with you.


The whole "karma is a bitch" thing rings a bell right about now.

The protests turned riots turned destructive riots in Baltimore, in response to the highly suspicious death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, have taken a serious turn for the worst as rival area gangs have created a "coalition" for the purpose of murdering Baltimore law enforcement officers. According to the Baltimore police department, they have received credible information, from numerous reliable sources, that the Black Guerilla Family, Bloods and Crips gangs have abandoned their own turf wars in favor of a coalition against law enforcement.

Baltimore Police: Gangs Enter Partnership to ‘Take-Out’ Officers

The University of Maryland, Baltimore is closing early today on the advice of Baltimore police.

More detail from Vice News.

Max Blumenthal, Senior Writer for Alernet.org is calling BS on the "credible threat."

Riots Are Starting Up: 4PM EST
A police officer was just injured as the crowds are throwing bricks at the officers.

There's also many reports on Twitter that the Baltimore police tactical squads are prepared with live amo.



This is a developing story. More will be added to the opening post as it becomes available.
