News Break

I listen to the radio while at work. and every quarter hour they give the news. its normally one story, and its normally something i've already read on yahoo news. the news break last hour stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't believe this was serious news.

"A protest group out side the democratic national convention calls them selves "recreate 68" their goal is not to recreate the violence of the 1968 democratic national convention, but to recreate the atmosphere of the 68 convention. So far they have succeeded with their use of tie-dye and peace signs, and their sparing use of soap and water"

I get most of my news right here on the forum lately.

Is there a new "Chicago Seven?"

I saw that on line too. I actually thought it was rather hilarious. Apparently one of the leaders made a statement that they were going to "hang around here for a couple of minutes to protest the USA becoming a new Nazi state" or something equally moronic. A couple of minutes? You gotta be kidding me. All you can spare from your schedule is a couple of minutes to change the world? I guess if you can fit it in between your Starbucks forays There's dedictation to the cause!

How about a MACE high? Twisting, choking, gasping, puking, rolling on the ground

You know what?


I would love to get to play one of the Chicago PD officers in this one.


Then I could get to play on their heads with my Police nightstick like a marimba, after I first stuck the nightstick between their legs and gave it a vicious twist to bring them down.

I could finish it off by lobbing cannisters of CS gas at the ones further away, whilst wearing heat resistant gloves.

Sounds like *lots* of good clean fun to me!!!!!



.....and of course, there will be a good ol' Judge Julius Hoffman to handle the necessary legal crucifixions and whitewashing when it's over.
