Apparently the irony of wearing a t-shirt for a band named after Hitler's sex slaves is an alien concept to this agit prop protester. "End Every War" indeed.

Who was that masked man? Why in the world would you protest with a mask on. Is it that these people do not really have that much inspiration for their cause? Or are they criminals intent on committing a crime and with the mask on it is harder to identify them?

No wonder they get hit with pepper spray. Dumb*ss.

Yep. Mostly. There are some fringe dupes/soccer moms and some first semester know-it-all college freshman, and some union head-busters, but yeah, most are SOROS "anarchists."

Is a water eyebath the recommended antitode to pepper spray?

If you EAT a lot of pepper, water just spreads the oils around.

You are recommended to eat ice cream. So wouldn’t a milk bath be better? It has to do with the way your body takes that oil.

I suppose you could even put a scoop of eye cream on your eye.

And if anyone has pictures of protesters laying on the ground with scoops of ice cream on their eyes, I want to see them!

I won’t be happy until a sh*tload of these hippies catch a hickory shampoo and get dragged off to the makeshift gulag for a good three day rest.

That would really be a ‘68 kind of thing...

Yes, last I knew, flushing with water was the antidote for pepper spray (But I retired from law enforcement 14 years ago).

I like the ice cream idea, though.

Exactly. “Joy Division” was a forced prostitution ring (White Slavery) formed from Nazi concentration camps (be a sex slave or go to the gas chambers).

OK. Here’s another one:

Police in Denver today were doused with protective spray to reduce the danger of cooties.

or

As Joseph Biden addressed a gathering of Police in Dever about the merits of Obama, he was overcome with laughter, accidently spraying the attendees with saliva. Say it, don’t spray it, Joe.

or

Members of the Democratic Underground engaged in a mass drool today in Denver. . .

parsy, who is trying.

self importance is self pity in disguise. i’m guessing a large portion of this crowd are manifesting this concept. they are pitiful, but they hide their self pity by finding something that makes them feel important.

Probably one of those Kennedys that Teddy was boasting of. JFK and RFK tapped MLK's phones. Nice legacy to bestow on Obambi, Teddy.

They would surrender and then be tortured to death and smear the reputation of America in the process. If it weren’t for the smearing of America I would be all for it. They NEED to know what price their freedom came at.

COLORADO (Be Sure to Wear a Gas Mask on Your Face)
Tune: "San Francisco" (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" Original

If you're goin' to Colorado
Be sure to wear a gas mask on your face
If you're goin' to Colorado
You're gonna breathe some pepper spray and mace

For when in Denver, Colorado
Democrats will see a riot there
In the streets of Colorado
Angry people with foul-mouth words to spare

Democrat convention
Chaos and dissension
Moonbats revoltin'

Beggin' for some attention
Take 'em off to detention
Moonbats revoltin'
Man, they're revoltin'!

For when in Denver, Colorado
Be sure to wear a gas mask on your face
If you come to Colorado
Democrats will be a basket case

If you come to Colorado
Democrats will be a basket case
