Tantrums

WASHINGTON -- For weeks now civilized observers around the world have been astonished by the dispendious angers vented by indignant young Muslims. These young indignados have listened to the counsel of their venerable leaders in government and in the mosques. They have noted the intolerable provocations of the unbelievers. Finally, they have taken to the streets and city squares to burn flags, bash passersby, rush the cops, and -- from what I have observed on the TV news -- take a swing or two at each other. Their righteous anger could be contained only so long.

Taking it all in, I can only wonder: How long will it be before such scenes erupt in the streets and squares of America? Listening to their indignant leaders, witnessing the daily provocations within our society, how long will it be before this country's young Democrats give themselves over to the fiery passions that their own mullahs are stoking? America's Angry Left, as it is called, can only take so much. Then, vavoom! Our Angry Left's own indignados will be out on the street, haranguing the Republican Congress, chanting anti-Halliburton jingles, and burning three-piece suits. Wal-Marts will be stormed. Former vice president Al Gore will be called back from Saudi Arabia to mollify the masses.

I felt like this kind of stuff already started happening during the last election.

For example, we had democrats slashing the tires of GOP vehicles, shooting out windows at various GOP offices, different groups of democrat thugs entered several GOP offices to threaten/intimidate volunteers, random acts of vandalism against GOP election signs/bumper stickers, etc., etc.

Ah...yeah they did that plus even got the dead to vote too. And look at the results from after the elections. Claims of election fraud etc. Funny I've only seen verified reports of democrats pulling such antics.

Indeed. The anti-American rallies in SF over the past couple of years always include multiple incidents of property damage, and usually include attacks against people as well.

IMO this is "allowed" in SF because it's basically communist already, and because the violence is typically downtown. Minimum-wagers are not inclined to defend their Starbucks and I can't blame them -- that's what police are supposed to be for.

I hope that it will be a different story if the communists and Democrats start trying to start riots in areas where there are a high proportion of residences and family-owned businesses, but my recollection of the riot following the KKK march (cancelled before it actually started) in Akron a few months ago is not encouraging.

OTOH, IMO those kinds of riots would be stopped right quick when a couple of rioters are shot on sight, which would happen in many parts of Texas, for example.

>"why can't we set aside safe zones away from society where angry Muslims can go to commit suicide?"

I thought that was what Gaza was for! Well at least they think it is!
