Yeah.  I saw they attacked the Prince.  They know he doesn't set tuition fees right?

It feels like some people in europe just like a good riot. 

You know what happens when tuition fees and stuff like that happens in the US?   A walkout.   Everyone in the school just leaves the school in protest and does something else... or at best holds up a few signs and walks away.

And how did that work out for you?

And we did have walkouts, sit-ins and a march. Most of the volient ones probably weren't student anyway, just young thugs needing an excuse to break stuff. You almost seem proud your people don't protest against your government...

Actually protesting yesterday, thus having first hand experience. Everything was well and dandy until the fucking police started kettling us in (This is after stampede charge from the horses) with no access to toilet and food, I think people will start to get freaking unsettled.

I had a riot shield rammed to my face as I couldn't stop the momentum of 1000 people pushing the opposite way, also the police tend be pretty trigger happy with their batons. I condemn the acts of violence but under those conditions I can understand the reasons.

Too bad there was no footage of the stripping pink storm-trooper >.<
