(forgot the name) Wow at those teargas masks. Just be lucky that mass shootings is looked down upon. Cause an eye for an eye throw they throw Molotov Cocktails at the rioters that will get them to stfu lol thought it probably cause another riot. But i mean the arrogance that rioting displays, face it if the police wanted to shut down a riot they could by using alot more force. Yet mostly people that die are because of the rioters not the police during a riot. I mean common when you riot you are the bad guy. | ||

What I meant to show with this is the similarity between these gaurds and the combine in half-life 2. ![[image loading]](http://www.mtv.com/games/video_games/images/promoimages/d/dime/when_aliens_attack/half_life_2.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://ui21.gamespot.com/84/halflife_4.jpg) | ||

I really wish we here in Brazil were tenacious enough to do that kind of rioting, if theyr law enforcements is like ours, I praise them for what they are doing, nothing against the police officers, but honestly, sometimes the system needs to crash and reboot to run clean. | ||

Sure some police forces may be corrupt.. but atleast they dont destroy public property or burn peoples cars. Rioters are just much much worse in many ways than corrupt cops. | ||

Please don't take offense to this, I am just trying to get your side, not trying to call anybody dumb or to hurt anybody in any way...Ok? Anyways, how, other than rioting and other methods of civil disobedience, is an oppressed people supposed to make their government allow change? I don't know the specifics of the situation in Greece, but I am assuming it is more likely that there is a real problem than it is that all of Greece went crazy for no reason. So, if your government is corrupt, and won't listen to you, pretty much all you have left is the fact that there are a hell of a lot of you and not so many of them, which means rioting. I'm not saying every rioter in history has been in the right, and I am definitely not supporting throwing molotov cocktails at police officers, but sometimes people need to remind their government that it exists because they allow it to, not the other way around. | ||

Frankly i see Riots as impatience you know protest work maybe you remember the shit with the firehouses and the black kids sitting at white only areas. Frankly when the government doesn't listen to you why the fuck would you call where you live a democracy/republic obviously if you feel you need to riot then why not just redo the entire government and have a civil war. Edit: aww my mutalisk is gone now | ||

(incorrect statement too, cause Molotov cocktail burning everything has happened in the US too, precisely for the same reasons, police injustice.) ps Lemonwalrus is again utterly correct. | ||
