Demands from protesters, according to Reuters:
* Increase personal tax brackets for top earners * Enshrine the right to housing in the law; introduce rent controls; boost mortgage relief * Stop further privatization of things such as health facilities * Provide free education for all from the age of three months * Raise the minimum wage to 50 percent of the average wage

LOL, and here in the USA we have the Second Amendment. Malcontent thugs here can burn down their own neighborhoods, but when they try to burn down somebody else’s neighborhood they may have a problem.

This probably isn't a good time for Grey Poupon commercials.

Some 250,000 people took to the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, on Saturday over the rising cost of living. Demonstrations actually began last month when a few people set up tents in an expensive part of Tel Aviv to protest rising property prices. NO ONE IN Israel is burning down buildings or making people strip before robbing them.
Not one person.
Legitimate protest and street thugs are no more the same than pharmacist and street drug pushers. They do NOT belong in the same story. One does NOT justify the other...

On their demands, I up them and leave them with just one to focus on. Personal Responsibility. Once they master that one we can beginning to further their education.

Malcontent thugs here can burn down their own neighborhoods, but when they try to burn down somebody elses neighborhood they may have a problem. And for that reason the thugs will stay out of residential neighborhoods, and focus on hitting stores in the suburbs until there is no place left for you to buy food, clothing, or anything else. Meanwhile, banks and insurance companies will go under due to all the losses.
The net result will be ugly.

"Increase personal tax brackets for top earners. Raise the minimum wage to 50 percent of the average wage" These parasites should do the math. If implemented the productive will take a pay cut to net more take home pay. Then down goes the average.. It's a death spiral! Those who provide social and/or familial support to liberals are as evil as liberals are. They deserve and will eventually suffer the same fate.

This article is stupid. CNBC, what do you know. It announces that riots are breaking out all over the globe, but collects any bit of riot/ wherever/ whenever/ for whatever reason, and lumps them together. Sounds as if it is referring to the London riots gone global, but it is not.

In the west its the friggen leftist parasites protesting for more freebies from the productive classes, protected by the state while emasculated police stand by.
They have no standing among people protesting at risk of their safety for basic human rights.
