@51: yup, because no one can ever take up common cause with the oppressed for the sake advancing human rights…
that has never happened before, you are so trenchant, oh learned, internet person.
51 FTW
@51 woot, you da man! hellz yeah.
At least these activists are doing something instead of being apathetic and useless, like yourselves.
@55, I agree. The so-called anarchists’ presentation isn’t eloquent, but the core sentiment is completely valid. There’s a systemic problem with the way Seattle police are being trained and managed. I’m not going to call this particular police officer evil, but he killed an innocent man who was basically minding his own business. People should be upset by this fact alone. If it was your friend or relative who was shot, it would be a lot easier for you to understand how fucked up this is.
Of course, SPD had both a mounted contingent and a small army of bike cops to cover the six or eight angry anarchists waving signs at Pine & Broadway. If we want to know why the city is running out of money, perhaps completely disproportionate police responses like this one are the answer.
@41, I”m not sure where you’re from, but where I grew up the only good education to be had was public. The private schools were so busy sucking rich parents’ cocks and handing out straight A’s that the kids they turned out were barely literate. They were, however, full of themselves and convinced they were intelligent.
