Police brutality on an annual basis is a luxury.

No more standing on the sidelines while people you know are being arrested! Those claiming that "rioters' got what they deserve are siding with the police and therefore siding with everything that undermines their effort to act on any from of dissident thought or action taken in solidarity with those reaping the consequences of our soda-guzzling society. There are circumstances in which being unable to unarrest another victim of the pigs is understandable. Fortunately, very few are privy to those circumstances. Meanwhile, during the May Day Revenge, dozens of able bodied, privileged people stood and watched as the pigs brutalized people willing to put themselves in harms way in the name of what is right. I don’t mean to suggest no one was unarrested during the May Day Revenge, but I do want to emphasize that the phrase “strength in numbers” is a very real one. To those of you who enabled the arrests of May Day Revenge; from the pacifists to those who simply do not realize the capacity of the individual: This is not the last time you will see people brutally arrested. In fact, compared to more impoverished regions of the world, police brutality on an annual basis is a luxury. The war between the people and the police will continue to be waged so long as there are pigs and politicians protecting the pocket books of those who exploit us. Get militant. Train collectively. Get fit. As the world economy is on the decline, violence is on the rise. It’s up to us to decide who will endure the stiffest blows of a global fist fight waged by lazy fucks clinging to the most unsustainable decadence.

P.S. Alpine Experience, U.S. Bank and Bank of America are all contributors to the division of creature and earth, root and soil, soil and seed. Anyone who defends these oppressive facets of a genocidal culture will have the hatred of the earth to reckon with. Trust me, it will be A LOT worse than broken windows.

Love, Fight, Win.

not to be a drag, but there wasn't really any revenge and calling a couple broken windows and graffiti militancy is boring.

I'm not going to rush into the street to help some white college kids not get a book and release. The total bail was what, $1,400 for everyone?!

I've been held at $10k! Chill out, everyone other than us white brats get arrested all the time. It's not about deserving, its about being part of life. Get over it and make revolution.

LOSERS!!!!

I hope you all end up in jail and learn how difficult life can be, the hard way. It's funny how you all think that the vast majority of folks are on your side.
If your arguments had any merit, you would have a larger following, breaking windows and stopping traffic and then blaming everyone else for your temper tantrums isn't the way to make a point. Besides that, what do you have to offer folks that is so appealing? Living life as some tired cliche', trapped living life according to the lyrics of a Dead Kennedy's album? That really doesn't sound like a fun way to live. Maybe that's it, you are all so unhappy living life without a job, no money, and smelling like Darth Vader's nutsack after a ten-mile thru the Death Star because you don't bath on a regular basis.
I guess its real easy to smash a window or draw anarchy signs when you have your face covered. If you had any courage in your convictions, you would identify yourself.

WINNERS!!!!
