Camilla was hit by rioter through car window as protesters attack royals
London Evening Standard ^ | 12/10/10 | Ross Lydall and Justin Davenport

The Duchess of Cornwall was physically attacked through an open car window as thugs rampaged through London, the Standard can reveal today.

A rioter managed to push a stick through an open window of the limousine and jab her in the ribs. Camilla's terrifying ordeal came as a baying mob surrounded her and husband Prince Charles when they rode through central London in the vintage Rolls-Royce last night.

A police source said one of the car's rear windows was opened by mistake as tuition fee protesters moved in. The attack is the biggest royal security breach in decades and raises new questions about the protection of the couple.

The Standard can now reveal the breach was even more serious than first appeared, with thugs managing to reach deep into the car's interior.

Armed officers were seconds from drawing their weapons but the police driver managed to accelerate away from trouble. Police sources have revealed that the Duchess was “very scared” when the yob leaned into the car.

“And only in nations that so well compensate their unemployed can these people survive to do what they do. For if they could not live off of the compensation the state gives them, they would have to spend their ‘free time’ working, thus not having the time to conduct their ‘anarchy’.”

My father said he saw it when welfare became widespread. People who previously had worked and only had criminality and/or anarchy as a part time job/hobby suddenly could go full time criminal and/or anarchist while living off the welfare checks of their babymomma.

Remember, a number of years ago, when a Brinks truck dumped a bunch of money on the road (in Florida, maybe?), and a bunch of people jumped on it. One lady blasted, “That’s my money! I got kids! I need that money!”?
