In my opinion I find it distasteful in the utmost to make light of and giggle at an act of attempted murder of someone who in all likelihood is trying to do an honorable job and serve his community. I think that sas alot about a person's character, whether on the internet or in real life.

This post clearly violates 1.4 & 2.1. Edit it soon or risk a ban for continued attacks on fellow members here. It's not that we go out of our way to avoid offending others, it's that we've agreed to stop insulting follow members here.

Alex, I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Eric on this one a bit. It is rather distasteful that this photo is made fun of. I personally was not laughing at any of those comments and hoped that the officer was okay afterwords. Lighting someone on fire is no joke and is an extremely painful way to die.

I don't know where the gap is, as it's simple here (and most everywhere else).
3 related ways to express ourselves online. 1 - this sucks, and I want to talk about it. 2 - you suck. 3 - you all suck. Type 1 starts a conversation, or continues one that has already begun. Type 2 starts a needless fight that never adds a thing to the conversation, the site, or anything else. Type 3 is reasonably pointless, as if it had any meat to it, it calls to question why someone sticks around long enough to share that thought. Back to the original topic, there appears to be video (below) of the same event, and it looks like there were enough other police around to get this guy the help he needed pretty quickly. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7ca_1298479168

Damn. Glad to see that he's alright. He got that helmet off right quick. I wonder if it had that quick release type retention system which is more popular over in Europe. If it was the double D ring system, he might have been in a world of hurt.

Just saying, perhaps he shouldn't be out there trying to suppress millions of people who want to reform their government.
Props for him doing his job, but damn dude...

i don't know what you guys are expecting but this is what happens during a national revolt. what's interesting is that you almost never see nearly the amount of coverage on the atrocities that get commited from the other side. i haven't been following this particular outbreak but in most violent uprisings there are casualties on all sides. it's amazing that in this day and age we all have access to such valuable information about what goes on in other countries during revolutions and i honestly hope our country doesn't come to this situation for a long long time... unfortunately the situations leading up to the greek revolt have been kinda similar to the situation leading up here in the US.
that being said... Molotov cocktails are epic. easily one of the best weapons you can improvise from a household kitchen

The crowds he's faced off with are the lowest echelons of Greek society - a gaggle of useless 'youth'. 20 somethings that have never worked in their lives and want to spend a lifetime living off the public dole. They are not equivalent to students marching for freedom in Tehran or Sudanese Christians fighting for survival in Sudan. They are scum at best and useful idiots for leftist agitators at worst. The fact that you view them in a sympathetic eye says alot about you - of which I'll avoid going into detail in order to stave off a tut-tut by Alex. Rest assured this kind of **** wont continue on long if it ever happens in the U.S. I know certain segments on the political spectrum here in the U.S fantasize about instigating Greek type riots in our country. But again let me assure you, if the parasitic class of this country every flood the streets throwing Molotov cocktails, they'll get their responses at 3000 fps. Unlike in Greece, the general, tax paying public will not tolerate or support this kind of attrocious, self absorbed, entitlement tantrum. |

i don't know where you got that from, but no. i don't. what i DID say is that when things like this happen, it shouldn't be unexpected. i also said molotov's are interesting improvised weapons. nowhere in there do i support the idea of injuring anyone.

I'm glad you asked about the rest of the countries in that list because it gives me a chance to point out an interesting point. People on a certain end of the political spectrum here in the U.S are constantly harranging everyone to be more like Europe: In France people only work 35 hrs a week, in the UK everyone has free helathcare, in Norway the 'rich are taxed'. Well, now all those bastions of European socialism have debt to GDP rations that would floor an elephant. So yeah, I cant explain the presence of all those countries on the list, but I find it curious that the ones in Eurpoe that provide free **** to everyone have breath taking debt to GDP ratios. The only reason they havent spiralled into the toilet (yet) like Greece, is that they continue to borrow money to fund their ever increasing demand of entitlements. On a similar vein, I also find it curious that now that we have a 9+% jobless rate in the U.S., it is an incredible economic hardship. However through most of the last decade, when we were at 5% unemployment, most of the European socialist states were at 12-15% unemployment. They're steady state economic state has unemployment vastly higher than our crisis state. But I guess you wont hear that little piece of information, the next time someone is schilling for 'single payer' health care or whatever statist handout is in favor at the moment. Thats the price Eurpoe pays for their cradle to grave nanny-statism - they are paralyzed economically. Theyre work force will never be at full utilization and they will never be the leading economic powers - like the US was, is, and will again rebound to. |

Actually, Im a huge fan of history, at least post Cold War contemporary history. I would be comfortable in venturing a guess that Im more versed in political insurections, guerilla movements, insurgencies, and revolutions than you are.
My point was your pooh-poohing the actions of the Greek portestors as something that the Greek police deserved because of some oppresion they caried out - like the many 3rd world regimes referred to earlier. My response that you qutoed was in reaction to you saying basically, 'Big deal this kind of stuff happens in national revolts.' which to me bear the implication that the Greek cops deserved it and the portestors were righteous in trying to burn a man alive. |

i'd also welcome you to point out where i said the police deserved anything? or that they ever oppressed anyone? i think you're reading into things to hear what you want to hear. what i pointed out was that violence in revolts should not be unexpected from a historical standpoint. i expressed sympathy for neither party because, like i said, i'm not involved in those conflicts. and to say that you know what's going on because of what you hear on the news or read in the papers... well that's pretty ignorant. you should know as well as everyone how biased and malformed 99% of the media in this country and most other countries are. people don't make money telling the truth, they make money telling people what they want to hear.

So I guess the Russians took those nice fellows to a tea party in 1917 and We Americans we revolted against the British. Unfortunately when this happens and this will happen people will die. I dont think people understand when you have no money and the government wont help in time the people overthrow the government.

Check this out, whats happening in Greece isnt a revolution. Whats happening in Greece is agitation by entitled malcontents. You want a revolution, look at whats happening in Syria or what the Shiite population of Bahrain tried to do earlier this year or the newly established state of South Sudan. And no one is saying or said the violence is a rarity in anything. The issue I had was the glddy chortling at what very well could've been an innocent man being burned to death. Anti-war leftists in the 60's demonized the whole effort of the war and the South Vietnamese Army and police because of this picture: The useful idiots in this country did their part to show how evil the war was because of this picture. However, no one ever made a mention of how the guy getting ventilated was a Viet Cong officer who commanded a death squad that would execute South Vietnamese cops and their families (This was in early '68 during the Tet offensive, so cockroaches like this were roaming through the country side commiting attorcities at will.). As per expected the useful idiots proved precisely how stupid they were by acting as pawn in the propaganda war against the US and our South Vietnamese allies. The difference between the pictures? I would wager that the cop in the photo never murdered anyone. The communist eating the .38 murdered countrless people. How many here how chortled at the cop's perdicament would find it distateful to take pleasure in the communist;s death? |

Too40, you know nothing about the conflict do you?
They young aren't mad because they dont get a "free ride", their pissed because they have no future. They will have no chance to even work a job. Do you know why? The retirement age that was upped is being upped again, meaning that older people have to work harder and longer for their pensions and retirement and as such those jobs are not opening to the young people who have the new education and a whole life ahead of them. The old are getting screwed another 5-10 years and the young dont even get a chance. Everyone is pissed, add the economic situation and you get this flare up. Quit ranting and think for a moment about all sides of the issue. The cop is doing his job yes, and as I covered in another recent thread, thats HIS CHOICE. If a cop dont want to be pelted with Molotovs then perhaps consider another occupation. I'll continue laughing and saying OH DAMN at pictures like this. p.s. I like that you condemn students for trying to find their future by rioting, and yet you say that you'll SHOOT the YOUTH OF AMERICA if they ever want to riot to find their freedoms. So glad us "lowest echelon of scum THE YOUTH" can look forward to meeting people like you in the near future.

the point i'm trying to make that you seem to be ignoring or not understanding is that you are making quite a lot of assumptions based on limited third party information being provided to you by sources who have personal interests. perhaps it would be wise instead to be more objective about situations you aren't directly involved in. you seem to have an extremely subjective point of view and seem to project apparently past experiences on current events.
