What an idiot

“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

:coffeespray: Fucking dangerous things those kerbs :hilarious:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I was just about to post, 'I hope those mindless thugs (the marines) and the police who covered it up get their just desserts' before I saw the Snopes report.
I don't see anything funny about this type of abuse of power from 'authorities' even if the guy who committed the crime was a dick.

Snopes FTW. Thanks, Animavore.

Also, I do not appreciate the gloating in regard to the injuries. Rational(ia)? Not.
