Did you just call the Economist a nazi sympathising magazine..?

Just saying they always see an advantage for good ol' libertarian laissez-faire in everything and they've always valued that more than ethical things, which often appear to be an inconvenience to be worked around.

This is the first time ive heard the Economist being accused of libertarianism, it's decidedly liberal...

Perhaps 'Libertarian' is going a little too far, but they are at the rightwards end of Liberal.

Meh, sometimes. They tend to drift all over the place depending on what the policy in question in.
Either way though, still highly respected in the halls of power. I have yet to go into a ministry/department and not see a copy there :lol:

Yes, they're widely read. I've read it myself for many years (not pretending to be in the halls of power, lol) but I always get this feeling from them that when they act all fluffy and social democratic or at least doing a small genuflection to ideas not from the feral Right, they are playing a game of let's pretend to keep them confused. Just my feeling maybe, although Alastair Campbell agrees with me, he's very scathing about them in his Diaries. So it must be true. :teehee:

They are good on non-UK coverage though.

Is there any way of verifying if that's safe, I mean, how do you know it's not installing snooping software?

You could read the code if you want, nobody has mentioned any security issues.

I don't see anything wrong in this video. She's breaking the law and resisting arrest. Their response is justified. Wouldn't you agree?

To me it looks like:
1) girl commits a crime before the beginning of the video
2) she runs from police
3) she tries to slip away and may have thrown a punch (camera angle made it hard to see)
4) the police pin her down to arrest her.

More to the point, where are the parents?

Something really quite creepy about that viewpoint. I need to reach for my skin rash cream.

Antihistamines will not work on this type of rash.

As far as I know they had imposed a curfew on this area. I have seen other videos of this same riot where the police ask the rioters to leave politely for half an hour, coming close to begging them.... before the video ends...So I am sure that the police were there asking them to leave for much longer than this....and there were only like twenty or thirty rioters there...these are a very small minority of people....They arrested her because she was violating the curfew...and she was out rioting unlawfully....These people do not have a permit to protest. She resisted arrest. Hence, they were aggressive with her in the arrest. It's all justified.

Thanks to institutionalised marxism and feminism, their parents have been successfully ostracised from their lives. In the West children are no longer raised by their parents but the state. When they behave badly the state deals with them. What you are seeing in this video are the fruits of 100 years of feminism and its successful destruction of the family and things are going to only get worse with time as this ideology and others like it become more and more institutionalised.

Well, would you look at that. Take away the tear gas and rubber bullets and everything calms down literally overnight. Who'da thought?

Yes, they didn't riot. They burnt flags and drew severed pigs' heads on everything.

Not everything calmed down.

Rioting and vandalism of the courthouse were happening long before the federal units moved in.
