Just some thoughts about the furor in Seattle.
I've said before, people will ass out for the lamest reasons. "Hey, our team won the Superbowl, let's burn down the city!" "Hey, it's a big concert, let's burn it down and rape a few women!" Etc, ad nauseam.
Now in Seattle, we're seeing a peaceful protest that turned violent. Who threw the first punch, the protesters or the cops? At this point, does it matter? The brawl is on, and it's but a small step from the current state of emergency and curfew to martial law.
Does anyone doubt that Seattle on a national scale is in the cards? In 30 days, will we see riot police using tear gas and rubber bullets (if not lead ones) to disperse people intent on celebrating by destroying their homes?
I don't know who's worse: the idiots who burn, or the other idiots who shoot the first idiots. All I know is that, if it goes down, we -- the reasonable ones -- will be caught in the middle.
Bah humbug.
