Stinging gas sends May Day protesters fleeing

Stinging gas sends May Day protesters fleeing: Should have just offered them jobs. The results would have been the same with far less waste of valuable police resources.

  • Isn't it disappointing that creeps can hide their identities with hoods and masks while they vandalize and desecrate in the name of civil protest? I think it won't be long before genuine leaders call for the arrest of all those hiding their faces.

  • Sometimes a nasty skin rash will break out when a foreign element is introduced such as soap and water.

  • Broken windows, busted autos, people intimidated in Seattle, LA, Chicago etc.....Now granted, I am half a world away, but I can't seem to find any stories of all that happening in places with stand your ground rights.

  • Appears the media narrative of these goons being a Democrat "Tea Party" has gone up in smoke, or more precisely, stinging gas.

    • That gives me an idea. I wonder how the Tea Party would feel about a bunch of tear gas at THEIR next assembly?

      • Draven,

        I'm always impressed by the depths of your ignorance.

        Tea Party people peacefully protest, they do not strew the ground with trash and excrement, they do not block streets or bridges, they do not smash windows and vandalize cars, they do not plot to blow up bridges.

        Tea Partiers peacefully exercise their First Amendment so there's no need for the police to use tear gas on them as they have to use on the violent Occupy scumbags you so admire.

          • GOD you are stupid. Can you even READ? NO conservative of any stripe has EVER, repeat EVER protested a soldiers funeral. That is exclusively the realm of the moronic family Westboro Baptist "church" out of Kansas. They protest at soldies funerals, gays funerals, anywhere they can haul their stinking signs and annoy the hell out of people on the worst day of their lives. Even the Baptists won't lay claim to them, nor any other Christian denomination. Because what they do isn't Baptist, or Christian, or anything but their own stupid ideas. PLEASE just stfu, since you are SO out of touch with anything in the real world.

          • Draven,

            You're even more ignorant than I originally thought. It's the lunatic Westboro Baptist Church protesting at soldier's funerals.
            The Tea Party has had nothing to do with them and has condemned their actions.

            Try again.

          • I know who they are. I guess it's just a coincidence both share so much ideological positions.

          • Actually,m yes, they are. The get all the proper permits for their rallies, have more than adequate sanitation facilities, and leave the area immaculate after the rally is over. I;m not a bif Tea Party supporter, but I WILL give them credit for being clean. Inlike th Occuidiots.

          • Show us pictures or video of a trashed park after a Tea Party rally. Besides, tear gas is rarely used at a peaceful gathering that has taken out all the proper permits.
