And that's how I explain it to young troops BEFORE they go out and get pissed on a Friday night!

I may have learned my lesson after the first time, but it was an awful painful first time.

I ran with the bikers way back when and we'd get into it with the army boys at the Grant Hotel in Winnipeg about once a month. Epic brawls. Eventually the city passed a law banning 25 cent draught beers. Good times.

Funny that, by the mid 90's it was usually bikers and army guys hanging together and f*ck everyone else!

Then they turned the Grant into a sports bar, and all the fun stopped.

Hey ! you guys have a pair of rubber glasses too ?

Took a look over at Babble and my the tolerance and respect for others over their is amazing. The nicest thing the police officer is called is pig, and some moron is talking about something called a "de-arrest". Apparantly you have the "right" to de-arrest" your friend if you don't agree with them being arrested.

But the first poster in the thread was the most tolerant, who seemed genuinely pissed off that the mob didn't turn on the officer and beat him to death.

A bastion of left-wing tolerance over at Babble.

left-wing tolerance

Lefties tolerate everyone whom they like and everyone whom they agree with, don't you know?

Known about it for years Bart. They, of course, deny it.

I'm not suprised.

Not only does the right have their wing nuts so do the left.

I suppose you could try to de-arrest someone, though it will likely not end well for you.

Babble is just the left-wing equivalent of this site, isn't it. Not exactly a beacon of tolerance over here either.

If a cop flags you down at a checkstop do you ignore him and or become verbally abusive? (In Winnipeg, they don't lip off, they just try and run the cops down.)

Yes buts that's only a special demographic there for the most part and in many cases the cops shoot back.

OMG say it ain't so? Well you had better head over to Freedominion and balance out with a healthy dose of angry right wing conservative idealists. There is no one electable either of those two groups would ever like.

Not often enough, because the dumb asses are still pulling that shit.

The thing about CKA is that the majority of it's users are hard-line
right-of-center and they hold a considerable amount of mob rule over the forums.
This mob rule has de facto rules that are not written, that make it okay for
complete discrimination, racism, and hostility by some, and intimidation,
intolerance, and disrespect of other users.

This is getting off topic of course but..

I would not even say hard line but I agree with the fact that I like that other spectrum of thought are allowed their voice and not trounced for it here.

If you want hard line and even extremist the country has Freedominion. I was one of the first 10 members there and watched it go from a place of good ideas and debate to a lot of angry people. I stopped posting there years ago and got to the point I couldn't even read most of the stuff anymore. Looked around awhile and found CKA thankfully.

Maybe this is a good topic for a new thread though.

WTF kind of website is that?

Judging from the posts, the entire forum must be made up of John Howard Society graduates with extreme anger issues who'd like nothing more than to partake in their own form of anarchy, complete with the murdering of authority figures.

I guess these are the same people who keep showing up at the G8 and G20 meetings while claiming to be exercising their right to free speech.

She was resisting arrest. Case closed. Her friend was trying to assist her escape. Case closed.

As to answer the question of the guy in the video: "are you serious?"

Yeah, the cop was SERIOUSLY trying to enforce laws that this mob was SERIOUSLY disobeying.


But don't worry, with the ACLU, this case will be reopened...wide.

Pathetic.

I did, however, find it ironic that this all occurred on Martin Luther King, Jr. Way.

Absolutly 100% correct.

If you think the jay-walking escalation was 4 pages of comment-worthy, then just wait for the absolute shitstorm that the G20 in Toronto will be.

It'll be a team of Confrontation-Junkies hiding behind Legitimate Protestors getting legal advice from Never-Been-To-Law-School Friends versus Big Mean Cops as refereed by News-Hungry Journalists.
