#1 Thx, AC - excellent in-line commentary - especially the rhyming bits, lol! The EcoFreak twits are the only ones who've truly been violent so far this summer - and mainly in the West. I'm sure that will change, in spades, soon enough.

Do you have a link to the video showing the melee in which Det Sample is attacked? The article, just as you said, paints a different picture.

This might be a good time to raid the police evidence locker and take samples from all the marijuana busts - and distribute on the sly to the marchers. I note, from photos, that there is a tiny slice of these cretins who wear balaclavas or some sort of face cover - they muct be the professionals. I wonder if Soros thinks he's getting his money's worth, so far? I also wonder if the NYPD guys have noticed any odd accents - say like Central - Eastern Europe / Western Asia...

#2 Many thanks, .com
Regrettably, I can't find the video on the web. Fox and MSNBC both ran it, but the latter will undoubtedly bury once commissars producers realize its significance. You might check Fox later.

#3 Cool - I'll do that - and elsewhere since the Tivo revolution is right on the heels of the blogosphere, heh.

#4 These ultra-Left Brownshirts with their illegal terrorist looking ski masks pre-planned these kind of violent attacks on the GOP delegates weeks ago. The legal term used to be termed conspiracy, in adition to a score of other federal & state & city crimes they should be charged with.

You know if they are bagged drugs will be one charge right off the bat.

#5 and filled with recent immigrants

Probably the "pro-Palestinian" contingent.

#6 and filled with recent immigrants

Probably the illegal immigrant contingent, given that NYC police refuse to arrest illegals.

#8 Raw - Oh baby - it's Louisville Slugger time. That really pisses me off. Fascists, indeed, though they're the Fascists, not the Protest Warriors, and obviously haven't a clue what they're talking about. I don't think I can laugh about this - it just pisses me off too much. Thx for the link, I think! I'll donate to Protest Warrior since I'm not there to carry a sign and get arrested for poking a couple of these assholes.

#9 "They asked if they could march, and we said yes," police Assistant Deputy Commissioner Tom Doepfner said. "We try to be nice."

Fat lot of good that did, eh?

#10 The .WMV file (2.75MB) is available here for now, since I'm sure he's getting hammered. I'll take a bit of the local load off his site. Dunno how long I'll keep it up, I have bandwidth limits too, lol, but at least a few hours from the time of this post. Come 'n get it! It will make the courage of the Protest Warriors real enough for you. Obviously, this is different and more strident than the stuff we saw out in SF...

#11 

This Protest Warrior sign seems appropriate in this case

#12 AP termed the injuries "not life threatening". According to who? The report I heard today said "severe head injures". Time for the gloves to come off.

#13 Why did the police not open fire? "I saw terrorist attacking a fellow officer, so I dropped him."

#14 //*sarcasm on*// I don’t see what all the fuss is. I mean, it was a pig, right? He got what was coming to him, and (with a job as a narc) should have expected it. We got a right to beat up pigs who mess with us peace protesters!//*sarcasm off*//

Video here.

Peaceful? Yah, right! And these are the folks the sKerry Johns want to pander to and promote.


Personally, I say shoot the b@#t@rd#, but that’s just the way I am.

#15 Oh, and BTW:
The detective, William Sample, remained in serious condition on Tuesday with serious facial trauma; his injuries were not deemed life threatening, police said. His assailant was being sought by police.

#16 See, the NYPD needs some crowd control flamethrowers. The stench of burning hippies would be awful but, the price has to be paid. On another note, this cop needs to sue these people, their groups and anyone tied to them for every cent they have. They should also be in jail for attempted murder.

#17 Patchouli oil smells bad enough in it's natural state. Burn enough of it and the smell would be overwhelming.

#18 One thing is certain - you can bet that the rollcall brief for each subsequent shift of cops going out will include the hardcore details of this attack. I do not think the NYPD will be as accommodating anymore. They don't take kindly to having one of their own beaten. And they can tell which "protesters" are just cannon fodder and which are the instigators. Shit will fly from here on out.

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning..... ...smells like..... victory!"

(FYI: this is not an endorsement of burning hippies....).

#22 In your dreams, Ship. Fuck with the cops, reap the baton - or worse. And, BTW, I'm definitely on the cops' side. These subtrolls are nothing but anarchists. Fug'em.

A peacfule protest is one thing, assaulting a policeman is an entirely different story.
