Zeke knows a couple things. Just a couple. And in a big list of Dumb Things to do, "Fighting the Cops" is about #7. Yeah, I know all that crap about Freedom of Speech, and ".. a little Revolution is good for a Country...blah, blah", but looking at some of these videoes from the Protesters outside the Democratic Party Convention in Denver I wondered what was the point?
Protesting may have made an impact when it was a fresh idea. And also when "Normal" people were doing it. After looking at these videos it become clear that THESE guys will protest at the drop of a hat. Even if they get what they want. The Dems just nominated the candidate who "wants out of Iraq", and picked an Anti War VP, but that is twisted into something that the "Anti-war Protesters", will, well, Protest. Amazing. They live in a Protest Culture and are outraged by something all the time. I wonder if there are Zeke Protesters somewhere? Well, I guess I can always dream.
From Youtube's vast collection of DNC clips, it is clear that many of the Protesters are looking for trouble, and when you go up against the Body Armored, Helmeted, Tear Gas spraying, Baton Wielding Testosterone Crazy members of Denver's Finest, you are gonna find trouble. CHECK THIS CRAZINESS OUT.
Protesting in the new millennium is just another way for adrenaline junkies to get their fix, while getting that warm feeling that they are doing something "important". It's like they are too violent , self righteous and uncreative to go to Burning Man, so they do this.Fighting with the cops maybe fun, but it is pointless. Not to mention that for once, the action INSIDE the Convention is more Dramatic that the protests OUTSIDE.
So what is the point? To get some video of "The Cops Beating Protesters?" Great, THAT will solve the world's Problems. There is even a Group called "Recreate '68", a reference to the disastrous mess of the Dem Convention in Chicago in 1968. Wonderful! You get the feeling from watching the video that these "Sons of the Hippies" don't realize that the proceeding going on in the Pepsi Center are actually the things that WILL change the Government. Not a "March down some street chanting and waving signs, while the cops look for a reason to beat their ass".
And stupidest of all is that the Protesters are at the WRONG Convention! Last time I looked it was the GOP that is building a Death Star and represents all that is Evil in the World. Why are they screwing with the Democrats?
Anyway, there was ONE good thing to come from the Video's WATCH a FOX reporter get run off. Priceless.
