Who Wants to Join Me in Olympic Protests?
 
Ha, I knew that'd get people in here....


Seriously, I'd like to get a bunch of guys together, go to a protest organizing meeting to "sign up", go with them to the protest and when the shit starts....


Watch them freak out when they're getting the smackdown from the "new guys" :)

Who's in?

sp00n 02-13-2010 07:59 PM

they make me so sick, they make me want to spread their ass cheeks and vomit inside

El Bastardo 02-13-2010 08:18 PM

Only if we get to wear balaclavas.

Ronin 02-13-2010 08:26 PM

I may or may not be inclined to come down and help knock some heads.

Ronin 02-13-2010 08:47 PM

Actually, now that I think about it...this is the wrong way to approach this. Beating the fuck out of them will just give them what they want...attention. INSTEAD, let me propose this...

We find out where they are protesting next...and walk in there celebrating our asses off, wearing the Bay red mittens (and other Olympic gear), drinking Coke, yelling "RBC REEEEEEMIX!", and pretty much IGNORING THEM.

THAT, my friends, will piss them right off so that when they take the first swing...we'll be able to lay the smack down without legal trouble.

jeffh 02-13-2010 09:10 PM

^ thats wher its at, the biggest piss off these fuckheads can receive would be people enjoying that shit and completely ignoring them

Inaii 02-13-2010 09:25 PM

There would have to be a VERY large group in order for that to not become a dangerous situation. Look at what they were doing to people downtown that were simply wearing olympic gear.

carisear 02-13-2010 09:26 PM

only thing is, you need about 4x as many people as they have come out. then you can drown them out easily with cheering.

another problem is, people here WORK and don't just sit downtown all day. would be hard to corral enough people =(

Were they randomly attacking supporters, or only the ones that talked back?

DO NOTHING but ignore them. Unless they start throwing down...then it's on.

Like I mentioned in another thread:

Anyone who supports the Olympics works for a living.

Most people who are protesting are on welfare.

El Bastardo 02-13-2010 09:43 PM

btw: Where can we see a list of when and where these people are protesting?

I've heard both. It's on the clip that's on CTV's website though.

Can we form a protest to protest against the protesters?

Toeknee 02-14-2010 01:39 AM

How many protesters does it take to change a light bulb?

None because THEY CANT CHANGE ANYTHING.

Said it in another thread already, I don't want to repeat the above.

But they changed the torch route! lol

They way to protest would be to not buy anything with an Olympic logo, don't eat anywhere supporting the Olympics, etc... Which is what I've been doing, not going around smashing stuff but the fact that a thread like this exists means they're winning. Best to just ignore them.

Interesting to have an outside view being in Hawaii right now. All the media (CNN, BBC, local news, etc) is focused on here right now is the torch lighting failure and the luge track death. Very little on the competitions themselves. It's gonna be pretty sad if this is the impression left on the world. I hope Vancouver media is focused on the games themselves.

Man, if I saw an innocent bystander being physically attacked by some coward POS protestor... I don't care about the potential consequences to myself I would absolutely go to that persons aid. A swift kick to the back of the leg at the knee is all it would take. Even if I didn't blow the knee right out that person won't be walking without pain for the rest of the Olympics. I'd like to see them try and actively participate in one of their protests again after that.

Any protestor that attacks people or vandalizes property instantly loses any credibilty and all respect I have for them, even if at a fundamental level I might agree with a portion of their cause. Those people are nothing but cowards and hooligans who rely on safety in numbers.

ericthehalfbee 02-14-2010 08:20 AM

Of course we can't go down there and start violence against the protestors.

But I bet if people were being honest, most would love to see them get a good beating - they just can't say it in public cuz you'll look bad.


Anyone who has ever been a victim of vanadlism knows the shitty, sinking feeling of coming home and seeing your car or house smashed up. Another thing I'd like to see - find out where their headquarters or offices are and go ransack them. Flip over a couple of their own personal vehicles. Let them see what it feels like to be the victim of vandalism.

Death2Theft 02-14-2010 08:57 AM

Im' in with a 24 case of fart spray.

DC5-S 02-14-2010 09:03 AM

i really wish the cops would beat the crap outta all of them with billy clubs

Culture_Vulture 02-14-2010 09:25 AM

:lol I love the logic of protesting against the olympics after everything is already in motion

Tim Budong 02-14-2010 10:14 AM

Im sure CTV has spun the story to much more than it is to give these bastards the attention they need. Twitter updates or even going to see the protests for yourselves woulda been better than watching national news who spin for entertainment purposes

That... actually isnt a bad idea..
Go to their protest and secretly start to drop those fart bombs around them. or collect dog shit in a bag and walk into their crowd and start randomly dropping it..
I bet the cops would be laughing their asses off if they knew what you were doing..

Psykopathik 02-14-2010 11:28 AM

why are protesters so proud to voice their opinions yet hide/mask their faces? Shame and pride oxymoron?

"I don't want people to know i oppose things."

seakrait 02-14-2010 11:33 AM

my wife just suggested that instead of the billy clubs that the cops had, they should have been swinging socks full of quarters at them. :haha:
