Going back to a previous not-officially-titled Day of Rage (but still basically a terrorist action), when Memphis protestors shut down the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi river?

The same thing happened this past weekend in St. Paul Minnesota, too. I hadn't even heard about it. (But then there wasn't much news report on the I-40 bridge either.)

This time it was classified an actual riot (as if, y'know, swarming over a semi-tractor trailer trying to get it to tip over and block the bridge with its driver inside didn't somehow count). Arrests were made, and charges will be filed on 46 adults and 1 juvie.

Mug shots purportedly from the Fox news Facebook site:




Since 20K people were standing around watching, this leads to some interesting discussion of what constitutes a riot legally.  :(

Is that Chris Pratt in the first row?

Yawn.

So you're a fan of the new Ghostbusters movie?

Well, yeah it's pretty boring compared to what a few guys can do with a truck in France, no doubt. And thank God it hasn't gone that far yet.  :-\

Sort of yet; Ferguson was no joke, and the same people will be involved tomorrow with a week or so of escalations. Maybe with France they'll feel like they have to compete for the attention. Normal people wouldn't but BLM activists have a habit of seizing the stage when they feel like they should have the spotlight.

Personally I hope the thread dies over the weekend with no results.  O0 But the alert from the AFB near St. Louis was troubling.

The last thing this country wants is a bunch of otherwise disengaged Franco-Americans getting drunk enough to hold a 'Day of Rage'.

That's too many White People for a Black People's riot. Of course it is Minnesota so.....   They all look like a bunch of Oakland Raider fans.

well you cant divert media attention -even from the US centered US media- if there is a mayor (means an US citizens got hurt) terror attack in the land of Cheese, Bordeaux, Froglegs and which so a homie told in the schoolyard somehow had provided the stage for that cool DDay action we love from netflix and xboxgames , and a Coup in Turkey ontop   

bad timing Orcs ;D
