Special forces rescue Icelandic prime minister from furious credit crunch rioters By GRAHAM SMITH
An angry mob surrounded the car of Icelandic Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde yesterday, throwing eggs and cans at the vehicle and demanding an immediate election.
The breach of security came as protesters, furious about Mr Haarde's failure to prevent the country's catastrophic financial crisis, trapped the PM as he sat in his car outside Reykjavik's government offices.
The seething crowd spattered the building with paint and yoghurt, yelling and banging pans, hurling fireworks and flares at the windows and even lighting a fire in front of the main doors.

The day won't be too far off when B. Hussein O's false promises might have our own Special Force assigned to the White House when he will be pelted with eggs, burritos, and watermelons.

If King Hussein gets as out-of-hand as we expect him to, we might see some of this.

Eggs, I can see. Watermelons are heavy enough to be considered WMD. But how far can one fling a burrito ?

We should start a burrito flinging contest to raise money.

Icelanders are a civilized people. Imagine, gentle Freeper, an angry mob of, say, French “youths” surrounding their President's car - Sarkozy Flambé.

They must be really mad if they’re rioting in the middle of an Icelandic winter. The bonfire was undoubtedly to keep warm.

Funny concept.
I was told at another website that references to watermelon are now indicative of a "racist" position.
Site is run by a Canadian who is self-described as a "homo universalis" rather than a Canadian. That boys got issues.

There have been several riots this winter in Iceland, starting before Christmas. These people are angry at government and letting it know it!

“Coming soon, to a country near you... well as soon as the welfare payment is missed.”
At the state level that will happen one day. The Federal level will keep printing money and allow it to go to hyperinflation.
To: Rebelbase
We are already going into hyper-inflation and probably very soon...
