Seems today there were some clashes today between police and protesters. I noticed that some of the protesters were carrying shields(?) with a large anarchy symbols on them. I'm wondering if they were the ones instigating violence.

I thought the problem was with corporations and the rich. Doesnt a clash with police seem about three shades of stupid?

Depends on how you look at it. Anarchists tend toward violence. Perhaps they are getting impatient.

I wish the anarchists would get real impatient so some cops will smash there heads in faster.

I honestly want the anarchists to clean themselves up and put together some sort of coherent plan of action that stays within the realm of the law and avoids gratuitous clashes with the police because we could get far more done with far fewer headaches that way.

Since we are talking about lethal force I don't think they need to get any more impatient.

I watched a little..happpened to tune in when the flashbangs were thrown. A few minutes before that, the "citizen journalist" showed a black bloc-er w a shield and a FAKE SHOTGUN. How stupid was that?

Fake shotgun? Guess a few of them are trying to get the police to start killing.

Indeed. He at first thought it was real, then said it was rubber and moved on. I would have, too!

The NKVD prisoner massacres were a series of mass executions committed by the Soviet NKVD against prisoners in Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Ukraine, ...
