For some reason I didn't find it all that funny watching a gang of
uniformed thugs beating up children who looked like my nieces and
nephews, and were doing nothing wrong apart from things like being
unable to pass through solid barriers that the thugs were trying to
force them through.


Perhaps if said "children" hadn't been smashing windows and graffitiing then
they wouldn't have got thumped. And what the hell were children doing on
a march anyway? Talk about grade A irresponsible ****wit parents.


They were doing no such thing. They were just being in a street that
the goons decided to charge down with horses, batons and shields.
Believe it or not, they care about the real vandalism that's being
done to their futures. I am proud of them for that.


I didn't find it funny when I was grabbed by the collar and thrown
aside by one of the thugs when I asked where on earth they wanted us
to go, given that I was trying to leave the area and was being forced
back into the area that they supposedly wanted to disperse people
from, given the talk of water cannons etc.


Aww, boo hoo. You're choice to turn up mate. Suck it up.


Yes, my choice to be standing peacefully in a public place. Do you
think I ought to be intimidated by these goons into not doing that?
You call that civilisation?


I have stared into the cold, dead eyes of those thugs, and they are
not funny. *Not funny at all. *They don't care about anything except
for keeping their line straight. *Anything in their path is fair
game. *It could be your children, your elderly mother, anyone. *They
just don't care.


Sub Steig Larson prose aside, do you actually have anything to add apart
for your poor-little-us bleatings? A lot of us saw the ****ing mess left
the next day by you and your fellow arseholes so please spare us the
peaceful innocents being attacked by nasty police BS. It makes me want to
heave.


I am already heaving in response to the ****wit bull**** of an
ignoramus who wasn't there and knows nothing beyond the insane
prejudices that encase him.

All of the violence and damage was either done by or provoked by
police goons.

If you want to accuse me doing of any kind of damage, I'll see you in
court.


And Theresa May is the latest Home Secretary to unleash them on the
public. *The public includes you and anyone you care about, if you
care about anyone.


Most of the public don't go on a supposedly "peaceful" march then trash the
place.


And they didn't. A tiny number of the people who had been violently
attacked and imprisoned without provocation eventually took out their
frustration on a couple of windows. Boo-****ing-hoo.

Don't try the moral equivalence route. Just because the government have gone
OTT with the cuts doesn't give you free license to smash the place up. But then
we're not exactly looking at a high maturity level with these marchers are
we.

Yes if you're causing trouble. If I stand in a public place and chuck a
brick through a shop window and claim I'm making a stand against right-on-
bogeyman-of-the-day system do you think I should be allowed to get away with
it? Grow up.

I was there day after, I saw the mess. It wasn't caused by the police.

Liar.

LOL Well one of your fellow peaceful marchers has just been sent down for
over 2 years so I wouldn't be so sure of yourself if I were you.

Please explain why someone took enough flammable fuel and glass bottles to
create at least one, if not two or more petrol bombs on a peaceful march.
I'd say he was provoking the police.
Nobody was forced to stand outside the Millbank Tower, shove their way thru
a line of police and then kick the windows in and stand on the top of the
building. The march was going past the building unstopped. Nobody was forced
to spray paint and smash up a police vehicle or to try and turn it over.
Nobody was forced to throw sticks and stones at the police line, but they
did.
From what I can tell a good number of the marchers went out seeking
confrontation and they got it, thus involving many other innocent
protestors. It might have made for great headlines but perhaps the
protestors' next move should be to try peaceful tactics as advocated by
Gandhi et al.

You're arguing against the logic of the playground - "He made me do it Miss,
it weren't my fault! Waaaaaa! *sniffle*"

And from the interviews I've seen on TV and heard on the radio and MIG, even
the ones who didn't cause trouble either tacitly supported it or didn't really
condemn it. Way to go on making others change their opinions about students
from people struggling with debt to a bunch of troublemaking arseholes no
better than a street gangs. I bet it really advanced the cause. Not.
