The Mobs in Pittsburgh, as Usual
2009-09-27
Note to the news media: this is what violence at a political gathering looks like ...
The inevitable mobs showed up in Pittsburgh, Pa. to protest against the members of the G-20, that is, the heads of state of the twenty major economies. As usual, the brunt of the attacks is against the President of the United States of America, whoever he might be. The faces of those that are in the mobs and the methods that they use are well-known in meetings of this nature or in situations such as the one taking place now in Tegucigalpa, Republic of Honduras.

The agitators who handle these mobs are responsible for all the crimes that are committed. It is easy to identify the quality of the people who participate in these criminal acts by their rock throwing, breaking of windows and assaults to businesses in defiance of the authorities in charge of public order. Most of these mobs are portable forces at the service of communism that go from one city to another when it is necessary. Thus, it is known that those elements that say they speak on behalf of freedom and justice that throw rocks, and burn tires and automobiles, have no serious message and even less a responsible message. What freedom and what justice can they defend? Normally, all those who are concerned with human behavior know how to identify the social and delinquent category of these elements who claim to be defending supposedly noble causes, when they are the denial of human decency, of social peace and of civilized coexistence. Elements who behave in this way have no moral authority, nor anything like it, to speak about justice, to condemn any socio-economic system, or to speak about freedom. These elements constitute the denial of all those values that they purport to defend.

Therefore, it is fitting that journalists and TV and radio commentators, place the importance of these events in their true dimension, without assigning to them an importance that they do not deserve and do not have, although they are important from the point of view of disrupting public order with possible dead and wounded. To this must be added always the destruction of private property.

#1  The picture shows a young man about to throw an ignited Molotov cocktail. When I was a police officer in the late 60's=early 70's, that was assault with a deadly weapon and I would have shot him dead!
We simply cannot look at the use of violence as something that is permissable, particularly since I sense an utter absence of alarm on the left for this kind of violence, but Nancy Buttbrain fears the "Nazi" violence on the right because we carry mean signs! Talk about hypocracy...
