They’re not tea partiers…
The Met Police said there had been “two significant incidents of violence towards property and police away from the march” -Sky News.

Black-clad union protesters are throwing paint and ammonia bombs at police in London today.
The Washington Post reported:

Police say protesters have thrown paint bombs and light bulbs filled with ammonia at officers in London’s center during a demonstration against budget cuts.

London’s Metropolitan Police said Saturday a group of black-clad demonstrators also threw paint bombs at shops and banks on the main shopping streets of Oxford Street and New Bond Street.

The group had broken away from a larger march organized by the Trade Union Council to protest against government cuts to public services.

Organizers say the main demonstration has attracted at least 100,000 people and is otherwise peaceful.

FOX News just reported that protesters threw “”missiles” at the Ritz Carleton in London.

The media always describes the source of these protests as opposition to “cuts in public services.” The implication is people are angry that the gov’t won’t give them more services, or free stuff. That’s not it at all. The protests are about pay and perks to the gov’t union workers. Nothing more. To everyone else, including the majority taxpayers, be damned. When the gov’t of California shuts down “services” for days on end because their budgets are broken, nobody really notices. So you have to wait another few days to go to the DMV. Who cares?

Why is it in lefty marches, the media always take care to point out that it was only a few miscreants who were violent in the “mostly peaceful” protest?

OT – Media Matters thinks they know how to play rough.

Hey, Jim, Media Matters wants to make you famous: “The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as a political organizations and the “nerve center” of the conservative movement.”

I think you ought to take a note from the Jawas, and adopt a picture and a phrase you can use every time you punk those cretins for telling a lie.

Black-clad union protesters?

No such things. Those are likely anarchists or anti-fascists. The (in)famous “black block”. They’re only in for the violence and have been a serious issue for years.

These people all think money grows on trees.

Anyone caught throwing ammonia, paint, molotov cocktails, etc should get the living crap beaten out of them.

The Obamunists and union thugs must be so jealous. Just look at that anarchy in the UK!! How oh how can they replicate that here? If only more people were out of work, prices rise, and the unions had more influence in the White House than even cabinet members to shape policy on a day to day basis. Wait….oh…forget it…that already exists…….Shhhhh.

I bet many of these protests are spurred on by the Muslims…attempting to collapse the system so they can take over.

But coming soon to a street near you. . . courtesy of Obama.

This is what happens when there is no leadership or competence. The Gimme generation just wants more of the drug they are addicted to. . free handouts. . .

This is what happens when socialists run out of other people’s money. These freeloaders and welfare slugs would rather protest, riot, and destroy than work a real job. Afterall, it’s more fun and a lot easier. It’s also a nice change of pace from watching television and playing xbox all day at mom’s house.
