Anarchists Throw Bricks in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., Assault Bystanders
2007-10-20
Blackshirts on a rampage in the nation's capital:
Local D.C. TV News stations are reporting in their 11 p.m. newscasts that a woman was hit in the head with a brick, store windows smashed and a man had his camera destroyed by anarchists protesting the annual IMF meeting in Washington, D.C. this weekend.

The protest is called 'October rebellion' and has been endorsed by leftist groups including Code Pink.
Of course. Was ANSWER there?
News footage showed black-clad people with bandanas covering their faces marching down M St. An agitated man told a news crew his video camera was taken and smashed by the protesters because he was wearing a Fox News ballcap.

A woman in front of an Abercombie and Fitch store was hit in the head with a brick thrown by the protesters. Some stores had put plywood on their storefronts
Check out the comment from Blackshirt apologist Egg-Weasel at WJLA in DC: Hey MD_crab it's called the first amendment. And Shovelhead if you don't like it move somewhere else...like North Dakota.

How odd, I don't remember anything in the First Amendment about hitting people with bricks or destroying property because you want to make a point. What about the guy whose camera was destroyed because blackshirts didn't like his Fox News cap? That is an obvious violation of First Amendment rightd but an ass-clown like Egg-Weasel would not understand that.

This is part and parcel with media slavery, however. Reminds me of the incident last year when a fat little Lubbock ass-nugget named Richard Tickle (for real) threatened to get his gun and start shooting people for violating the Dixie Chicks' rights by criticizing them. These authoritarian fools actually believe they have the right to kill and terrorize anyone who opposes them. The next civil war will be between them and the rest of us.

#8  Some years ago, a rumor started up about a fake new illegal drug. It turned into quite a circus, with undercover police "bikers from hell" offering any amount of money to get some so that it could be analyzed. It got sillier and sillier as rumors abounded about the drugs' amazing high.

At one point, someone suggested that the Anarchy symbol, used as a graffiti, was how the users of the drug communicated with them. This was when those letter "A's" were everywhere. Some uniformed cop was seen going all over town, taking pictures of them.

#7  Having lived in D.C. and the surrounding Metro area from 1982 to 2000 I can attest to the fact that the wingnuts frequently overrun the streets. However, having said that, there was a time when the D.C. police took absolutely no shit from anyone. It sounds as though that policy might have changed.

#6  Good point, Lars. Problem with Beirut is, no one would notice them, and their egos can't handle that.

#5  Back in the 80's I'd see kids with the anarchic "A" symbol on their notebooks. I'd tell 'em if you want anarchy, try Beirut.

It's much more convenient to be a bomb throwing anarchist in places where the latte is plentiful.

#3  They are NOT anarchists. They are communists.

#2  Easy to spot the anarchists; they're the ones who always look like the woke up pissed off and ugly.

#1  As George Bernard Shaw once said: "Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you."
