I loves to lol. and you made me. kthxsnort.
=|
:O those poor helpless oppressors ( first btw ) kinda
if by first you mean not first, than WIN!
if by “than” you mean “then”, then WIN!
WIN!
epic riot win!
It’s like that ending from 300, except no CG. And more fail.
Ha, so I’m not the only one who was thinking that.
by god man! you’ve got something there!
just what i was thinking…
Haha! Reversed situation.
This looks like China, remember all those multi colored raincoats they were wearing at the Olympics? Is this some sort of weird trust-building exercise? Allow the masses to beat up on the cops every now and again? lol!
LOL! And then the tiptoeing tanks sneak up behind them
Well, those do look like Chinese characters on their shields. Can’t see them that well, though…
Considering many there are…
Looks like Republicans on Pundit Kitchen, desperately trying to dish out the oppression while being pummeled by the vast majority of reasonable, mainstream American liberals.
Agreed. I haven’t seen EP around in a while… poor MegaBob’s having to pull double duty. I wonder if EP lost his stomach for the fight… or perhaps he’s the idiot going around posting under the name “Obama.”
Mobs attacking police generally aren’t reasonable. Probably not the best analogy.
As far as Evil Putz goes, allow me to step in for EP here a second… let me think of something he would say..
Ah, here we go…
“Sorry I haven’t been around, unlike you liberal welfare recipients, I have to work to support my family.”
:/
I doubt EP works. I don’t think he’s old enough.
There are Republicans who aren’t nearing retirement age?
He said he was too young to vote in 2000 but voted in 2004. That makes him between 22 and 25, I believe.
I had a teacher that once said, “The older you are, the more Republican you get.” So far, I have not found him wrong.
Heh, plus, while I try to avoid being catty normally, I can’t imagine a woman alive that would let him touch her with a 10 foot pole, let alone start a family with him, based on what we see here.
Seconded. Ugh.
Thirded and I was trying to eat dammit.
In bed?
He does everything in bed. He’s not capable of getting out.
Except when I do everything else.
Haha, sorry deathwrym. I guess since I (fortunately!) have no image of the offender in my head, I don’t have any mental images in my head to gross me out.
Tis okay, you couldn’t have known.
“reasonable” people don’t play D&D. Geeky nerds who can’t get women do.
Watch “Mama’s Boy” – best D&D scene ever!
Geeky nerds, half my friends and their wives or husbands
My geeky DnD friends are almost all married except for those that aren’t and only one of them weighs over 500 lbs and lives in his parents’ basement and….oh, I’m not defending them very well, am I?
I play D&D, yet I don’t live with my moom and Have frequent sexualrealtions with women.
Am I seeing swords in the hands of those protesters/rioters/whatever?
You’ve been playing WAY too much D&D.
3rd edition, I hope. 4th ed is an abomination.
2nd ftw. I’ve never been the same since being unable to talk about my THAC0 (thack-o). Talking about my BAB or AB just isn’t the same.
2nd was interesting but got on my nerves, I am a fan of 3.5 and don’t plan to play 4th.
As for my delusional state, I don’t think so. There are three people that look they are waving swords towards the middle.
GURPS is the one true role playing game. And yes, those look a lot like swords.
Ugh, mercy, please! One campaign of GURPS was enough to send me back to d20. GURPS raises pedantry to an art form.
And Palladium just makes me wish for more rules… Which just feels dirty. And White Wolf just seems like a wad of angst.
Hero System FTW
Call of Kthulu is the funnest RP ever!
There was something suitably impressive in being told to “Save versus death.” I’m a fan of 3.5, though. The new Pathfinder stuff from Paizo is heartening, the 3.5 ruleset lives on!
It lives at least in my home. And yes, Save vs Death is impressive but Save vs Wand/Staff sounds sexual.
I just about got my ass handed to me in our 4th ed session since I didn’t know all the new rules *sigh*. Maybe my DM will let me bring in the Arcane Instant Anything-U-B-Needing Spell.
4th is absolutely horrific-its like a videogame on paper- the whole reason i play pen and paper is so its NOT a videogame. 3.5 4 life
While this made me snicker a bit, this is either a really blurry image or a bad photoshopping job. The riot police in the middle just don’t look entirely naturally, in large part because they seem to have a dark circle around them, which I suppose is sort of amusing in it’s own right.
Yeah, not natural. Lets see what it looks like when you’re being targeted by an armed and angry mob.
Alright dork, I was commenting on the picture quality, and any logic will tell you photoshopping is very likely, especially when no source is cited. It seems to me you’re taking this lol and this site a bit too seriously.
Ah, give it a break. Real or not, if I were them, I’d be that close to the guy (or gal) next to me. I don’t really mind if it’s been photo shopped, it just always spoils the fun when someone points it out. Sorry I got snappy, it’s Monday and it hasn’t been going well.
I understand about Mondays. I didn’t mean to be snarky or spoil anyone’s fun, just whenever something *is* photoshopped, I get dissapointed.
it coulda been a training exercise and the graders decided to say “screw it, let’s have some fun” and instead of having 20 guys rioting they had that number, all with the knowledge that they were gonna wallop the police.
This is a really blurry image. It was taken with a longer shutter speed which causes motion blur.. One fifth or even as much as one third of a second. The ‘dark circle’ is probably someone who was moving around really fast. You know, like people try to do when they’re being mobbed.
It must be some Asian country, in which Chinese-like character are used.
Probably Japan or Hong Kong.
The words on the shield are English “POLICE”, and the same term in their language, my guess is “警察”.
For other countries using those character,
In Singapore, people attacking police is unbelievable.
In China, I think it should be “公安”
In Taiwan – well, I live in Taiwan – white or blue raincoats are not commonly seen here. Those people should be all wearing yellow ones I suppose.
I’m going to correct something:
I’ve googled some pix, and found Chinese police are using “警察” on their shields, so it could be China, too.
And there is a great possibility?
It’s China, during the Olympics… Not sure what they are doing though.
Sorry to call fail on you ema.. but it’s South Korea. Here’s the article and another angle of the same situation:
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=5270444
That’s ok, I wasn’t at all sure – just going by the raincoats. They sure don’t want that US beef over there. Why not just not eat it? Seems like it would be less trouble.
Yeah and it could be worse, they could be getting their food from China, and getting sick in the thousands.
“Why not just not eat it? Seems like it would be less trouble.”
Would be less trouble as long as they could tell where the meat was coming from. Do they have a system for that in stores? I know we don’t.
Actually it’s South Korea. I tried to make a post stating that but it got eaten, it’ll show up later I’m sure. Anyway for story and another angle click my name.
Waaayyy at the top of the picture, it looks like one of the emoticons jumped out of the circle, all crazy ninja like. You can see one of the little faces, but it’s sorta blurry.
Yeah, one of the reasons I think this pic may have been photoshopped. That section of the pic has a weird shadow on it and looks like there could have been some cropping there. Of course, there could have been a lot of movement that caused the picture to come out blurry.
If I may…
I can’t speak as to whether this picture was shopped or not, I do not have the kind of expertise required for such things.
But I *can* tell you from the perspective of a photography student, that looking at the blur on the limbs of those mob members closest to the blob of police, and the the blur on the stray officer that appears to be running away (for whatever reason), the two appear to be consistent. This picture was just taken with a longer shutter speed. Maybe one fifth or even as much as a third of a second.
Not photoshopped. For story and another angle see my URI
OK, that makes sense, . I figured it was photoshopping or something with the shutter speed.
Its quite interesting how the riot police have this vortex of darkness around them!
It just looks like the asphault and predominantly dark pants are prevalent in the area of the ring, as opposed to all the bright colors elsewhere.
The darkness is from the urine that collectively ran down their legs to the floor.
Must say that I’m happy that EP is afk too.
In Soviet Russia…
WIN!
…protesters beat YOU!
Holy shit! Now I know why I cannot identify with you asshat libs. You are a bunch of D&D Nerds! Ha hahahahah! Well, now I will just pity you instead of getting angry. Sorry about everything I said before, I did not realize how bad off you all were. I knew D&D led to some weird shit, but a gateway to liberalism? Who knew.
If anything D&D promotes Conservative ideals. At least the Forgotten Realms scenario is mostly made up of kingdoms and other monarchy-like setups.
Considering that I am a moderate, you would be wrong.
Well, one has to -think- to play D&D, so it does lead one away from conservatism.
Ya being able to do simple math quickly in your head and think on your feet… I am seeing a pattern of those who criticize it. They lack those traits.
I don’t lack those traits, I just have better things to do with my time…
Pot was my gateway into liberalism, lol
Considering that I am a hardcore geek and not a liberal, I agree. Then again, you aren’t criticizing us, now are ya?
Hey, some conservatives play D&D too. Mostly just the cool ones though. You’d be surprised how many LARPs are in the Bible Belt too.
I can dig it. Gives us something in common which is nice. I am a moderate anyway.
How can you be mad at someone when you can take them out to the woods, dress up like a monster and beat them with plumbing supplies while they fall down “dead”?
There’s been some interesting run ins at parks where some random person shows up to fish or is looking for a church outing or something and runs into gamers in interesting costuming and makeup (for instance red skinned with horns). And there’s nothing more interesting than taking a break from a game and going into town to the local Kroger with your buddy who’s dressed like a goblin. It’s funny how hard people will try to pretend he’s not green with orange hair. “Just act normal…”
“They can sense fear. No sudden movements. That one has dice!”
You rolled a one! Anything but that! NOOOOOOOOOOO!
You have been reduced to zero Sanity, please convert to Jesus.
Calling people nerds on an internet forum. Hmmmmmmmm, Pot, I’d like you to meet my friend Kettle, you have a lot in common.
BEAT THEM WITH STICKS, BEAT THEM WITH STICKS!!!
At this point I think that the use of tear gas -MIGHT- be prudent. Even if the police don’t have masks and aren’t good around it it’ll still drop the protesters as well as the police. 2 people on the ground sneezing, puking, and itching like crazy is still better than 2 people clubbing eachother. Plus I’m all about the calling mortar strikes on myself if necessary (here’s hoping I never get the chance).
It’s Seoul, South Korea. It says “Police” in Korean on the shields.
Yeah, I was thinking Korea. They sure love a good riot here.
Kinda reminds me of a flower… Awww… Pretty
This was taken in Seoul, South Korea earlier this summer, during an Anti-US Beef protest around the Gwanghwanum area. Several policemen were injured and required hospitalization.
The guys in the middle are traders on the floor of the NYSE…saw it on
CNN…I can’t believe I watch this stuff… I need a life….
SPARTAAAANS, PUSH!
Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Screwed
