Generation Snowflake: This Was Who Was On the Verge Of Running America If Hillary Had Won
2016-11-12

Watch what happens when a protester's balloon pops.

Bonus: This doubles as a metaphor!

According to one commenter, this is an excerpt from a much longer video taken during the usual miscreancy in Paris posted on May 19, 2016. Our girl and her pretty purple balloon show up at about 24:30. No dubbed in, frenzied weeping, but even more stupid. Watch this after seeing charger's main event, and enjoy it twice.

#10  Watch TW's deal. 25:30 about when the balloon pops.

There is too much to live-blog, if you will. Man-bun and Snow are my favorites.

#9  Glad you liked it, Shipman. You know me, I have to track things down if there's a hint that it needs to be tracked -- it goes back to a youthful interest in urban legends.

#8  That was hilarious TW. The Frog riot police are very patient until you lay hands on, then kerPow. See the dood what can most of his clothes ripped off by a dawg pile. Didnt seem like there were that many police until something happened, then out of the wood work with attitude.

Our Sflake also got a shot of pepper in the eye for her troubles. :>

Viva la France!

#7  It will be interesting to see who Trump appoints to the head the Department of Education.

He should appoint Darth Vader (maybe our own DarthVader!), then abolish the fucking place. It was created by Jimmuh Carter in exchange for the NEA's support in the 1976 election. I remember it like it happened yesterday because that's when I first started following politics - I told my father - 'That's horse trading, right?' He said 'Yup'.

#6  On the long video, the police spray something to disperse the crowd - tear gas, maybe? You can hear coughing. I suspect the snowflake got some of the liquid on her balloon and then, into her eye, when it popped. Shortly thereafter, another snowflake is seen squirting something (cleansing, one would hope) in her eye. Good thing someone was prepared for the police to react.

#5  Good grief is right. Tolerating PC foolishness in the schools and colleges has brought much of what we now see. It will be interesting to see who Trump appoints to the head the Department of Education. There has been talk of Dr. Ben Carson but there was earlier talk about doing away with the Dept. of Education in order to balance the budget.

#4  Perhaps the balloon was filled with something other than helium and she got it in her face.

#3  Good grief. Spare the rod, spoil the child. The parents should be locked up.

#2  These folks have never had anyone push back or disagree with them or even ignore them.
To be informed you're irrelevant had burst their egos.
It should have happened from age 5, maybe these folks can now become adults?
