Riot in Montreal

Protests were about a tuition hike tantamount to a 75% increase. 4:20 is in 65 minutes over there. Dual riots might happen. Nothing in the news about pot, from up here. My first thought was what a bunch of jerks for hijacking 4:20 day.

Right this very minute it is 3:16 pm in Montreal. You have a bit farther to go.

75%, pffffft, ours were put up by just shy of 300%

Went to the news websites and some are saying how good we have it here in the States that's a switch.

And you just accepted that? What happened?

UK. went from just over £3000 a year to£9000. They said oh don't worry, only a few of the more prestigious universities will do it, nope pretty much everyone including Bangor, one of the most pointless universities there is. thousands upon thousands upon thousands of students protested against it, mostly peaceful, some started occupying governemnt buildings and throwing fire extinguishers off the roof at police etc (i believe the guy who therw the fire etinguisher was the son of the pink floyd guitarist) the police acted indescriminately and kettled everyone, locked up 15yr olds in cells, you name it.

PROFFFFFFFFIT. Somehow it was completely unavoidable and that the fees HAD to rise, yet a few hundred miles north and scottish students get university for free

I remember the start of my junior year at college and they doubled the rate. Nothing happened, no one protested. All I could think of was getting through the year.

Hey, let's charge the students with horses, that seems like a good thing to do. Personally i would love to gather 50-100 horse riders, buy up armour and shields and show the who the fuck is boss. There were further protests in the city where i live, fireworks being fired at the police horses etc, i was siply walking home from shopping and they tried to detain me simply for trying to pass their line to get abck home, i knew what was happening that day so had my passport on me and raised all kinds of hell with the police when they tried to detain a large muslim family alongside me. (our passport has a statement from the secretary of state on the inside cover saying that we must be offered all assistance and be allowed to pass wihtout hinderance etc, the police didn't like it one bit when i confronted them with that, i got those muslims through the line just fine in the end, then decided to go rebel and rolled up the fattest joint i could manage from nthing but tobacco to see just how badly i could get them to react to me.

As per the thread psoted a bit back, some policemen deserve to be beaten the fuck up, shoot em if you must, some deserve it. Following rules is one thing, not ebing able to comprehend the absurd nature of the rules you are being asked to follow is another thing. I need to go watch that video from japan, police or army were not paid, so tey fabricated a flame thrower and picked up swords and showed the jap police just who the fuck they were

Flamethrower and swords... crazy! The CBC keep showing a clip in montreal where a riot officer opens a door and shoots a guy in the face, point blank, with a gas shell.. exploding in his face on contact!

So facts were wrong as to timing and place i was led to beleive it was japanese army rioting due to not being paid. But yeah, that is hpow you fucking protest. I have never understood wesern protests. We out number then 100 if not 1000:1, yet they win, how fucking pathetic are we!

It's the South Koreans that rioted in 2002

The best way to answer massed horse is with a formation of pike. That'll l'arn'em. cn

They treat our water with fluoride, and raised a culture of nannying by state. I'm surprised anybody has a will to fight at all. They're throwing stones! I figure they had better weapons than that..

Not allowed guns. And I've heard, certain knives.

Are they free? Try protecting yourself with a butter knife.

Nah, i still say take it that step furhter They can have their high-vis jackets, we'll have ours. 100 of us. Fucking bring it on!

Ever been stepped on by a horse? It fucking hurts.

Tip Top, have you read any S.M. Stirling? The "Dies the fire" series involves a sudden collapse of all things high-tech, followed by a takeover by SCA types like in that pic. Epic. cn

Exactly So let's see how the police enjoy the experience, when they're armed with swords shileds and lances no less But don't worry, they're the police, it doesn't matter how much it hurts you, they're maintaining order don't you seeeee

I've not read any i have to say, currently reading my way through the Allistor Mclain books, but i think i'll have to get to the library and have a goosey

No, but I'm reading my VW "bumper-to-bumper" warranty but can't find the part about an elephant being the bumper. cn
