From those pictures, just looks like old-fashioned looting. I'd like to think there's more to it than that.

Yep, it is, but you've gotta look at the culture. It's totally corrupt with rampant bribery, etc., a police state, no religious freedom & a nominally muslim country that has NO history of democracy or freedom.

What these people get will certainly be better than the Aliev stooge. He's ruled like a Stalin Jr. for the past 20 yrs.

At least now they will have some choice on how things run.

It will take time, but I'll bet my bottom leva that it will be a better place next yr. than it is now.

Out!

Democracy is good for glass contractors! Not clear on how it will affect the people of Kyrgyztsan. I hear the regime is very very repressive.....they may play "get even"!

I assume the shelves were once full. It's a time that has come, I guess. Hope the Islamists don't attempt to assume power...

Looks an awful lot like Kristallnacht to me. The 1930's version was national socialists, is the 2005 version the Soros world socialist version?

Those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

Looks like East LA with strange writing on the stores.

Seeing those photos I was really hoping it was Pinellas, FL.

In the 20th century, Europe was the place of disasters, nightmares and great sorry. In the 21st century, it's Asia.

This banner says "Shocking Prices".

I guess it all ended up being free.

Good to see they got their revolution. The masses rose up and went right into the seats of power. Liberated all those captive consumer goods...
