God! I hated goat heads when I was a kid! My kids gowing up in Illinois never learned what those things were like.

From what I've heard of floor-traders in commodities, the protesters were lucky not to have their hearts ripped out barehanded.

Exactly. Those guys are young and loaded with testosterone. New York, Chicago, Tokyo, London ... ya gotta be a youth to handle that pressure.

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules,
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these.
But of all the world's brave heroes, there's none that can compare
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British oil traders.

NZ? London, UK, mate.

Love this story.

THIS is how you deal with those maggots.

I think we should make it a point to do the same thing to the anti-war protesters wherever we find them.

Only two were injured, the yellow and blue pieces must have ran very fast.

Whenever a crypto-communist scumbag is beaten into the hospital...an angel gets his wings.

You might appreciate this exchange I had on the subject from a board frequented by self-declared 'Eurowussies.'

This could be a metaphor for what the right wing media and corportations do to the reputations of anyone caught disagreeing with their agenda: beat them up and throw them out bruised and bloodied onto the street.

Your nipple-leaking bleats would have some credibility if these ardent souls were peacefully protesting outside and the traders came out to rough them up. When on the otherhand, the 'protesters' come in to stop people from peacefully going about their business, they should understand that not all will compliantly just stop what their doing and take it.

Instead some may indeed physically assert their right to work unmolested. You will note that none of these protesting groups ever have the balls to protest against a dictatorship -- not even outside the embassy. Let them try those antics in Damascus, Pyongyang, Tehran, Beijing, Havana, etc.

If they cannot put their lives on the line to undermine the TRUE locus of evil, poverty, war and oppression in the world, then they are just spoiled brats who are throwing mud pies at law-abiding citizens in the safety of countries that actually recognize human rights.

Somehow I missed this posting, and caught a link in a blog, but this is just freaking awesome.

[enviros_kill]

Absolutely freakin' awesome. I would have loved to have been part of this. I'll have to content myself for now by being part of the military-industrial complex that makes war machines to kick the s**t out of even worse scumbags.

Maybe I can start an angel wing collection in my office :-0

I guess Eric Bolling (Fastmoney) was on the wrong side of some trades that day hehehe.
