“So what? Are you saying these kids just walked by accidentally?”
I’m saying that yes, that does happen. Read some of the other comments after mine.
“You’re still dumb.”
Nice. Guess that means you have no reasoned argument, so you go for the (lame) insult.
Hmmm, what’s this button that says “report abuse”? Nah, not worth the effort...
Ok, and did you ever think of suing the police?
Wow, you really are ridiculous. So simply stating that it’s possible to get overrun by a mob makes me a dummy? You clearly have zero real world experience. And ditto for thinking that doesn’t give the cops the right to beat down innocent bystanders? (All for the cops taking it to the thugs.)
You’re nuts.
Slinging insults after you've run out of common sense eh? LOL
Any teenager who sees a drunken party of 3,000 with cops on scene who isn't smart enough to find another place to be was raised an idiot. The kind of punk who has to complain to mommy when he can't explain his thinking.
I see that you are whining about the culture on another thread. Figures.
Didn’t even cross my mind to sue the police. Then again, I didn’t get clubbed or anything. The tear gas sucked, but it was probably an appropriate measure given the mob they were dispersing...
Granted, I shouldn’t have said “You’re nuts.” But there is no point discussing this with you. If you think it’s OK for cops to beat down anyone around when chasing a bunch of thugs, or you think it’s impossible to get overrun by a mob when minding your own business, then there simply is no basis for rational discourse.
So you are absolutely right that there is no point in discussing anything with you due to your irrationality and dissembling and that's why you got the reply you did in the first place.
I was talking about the situation I experienced, to which you responded, “You’re dumb” or somesuch. And similar situations in general such as those discussed by other posters, not this one.
Looking back, I did conflate the two a bit, though.
Yes, the kids were stupid to stay nearby when the riot police showed up. Any intelligent person does see that and says, “Party’s over, time to go!”
That was all I said to begin with but you took exception to that and based your objection entirely on equating an experience you had with this one.
No, I took exception when you said, "You're dumb" in resopnse to my idle comment about something personal that I thought was somewhat relevant to the general topic and possibly interesting. Used your post as a starting off point, but didn't say I thought you were right or wrong. (Incidentally, you were right.)
OK, let's drop it...
Oh, so your first post to me wasn’t in disagreement? LOL Whatever!
