Riot Porn

The blog Riot Porn is devoted to photos of street rioting from around the world, with regular features such as "Burning Bus of the Day." Judging from the blog's recent pictures, the world champion gnarliest rioters must be the South Koreans, as illustrated by "South Korean farmers riot" and "South Korean anti-APEC riot." I'm not exactly sure what APEC is, but, boy, there are some South Koreans who are really sore about it. Being Koreans, the rioters look extremely well organized, with each one swinging an identical two meter-long color-coded cop-whacking stick.

We've all been hearing about how the French riots were caused by lack of jobs. The funny thing is that South Koreans have one of the fastest growing economies, and work the most hours of any country in the industrialized world. I guess the national motto must be: "Work Hard, Riot Hard." (Thanks to Mangan's Miscellany.)

I believe the viewing of that riot porn is an exceptionally good way to spend your time, as a anarchist it makes you feel liberated and gives you the sudden urge to bludgen a police officer in a vicious way fighting back against the scum. bradford 1 coppers 0.shifty

I also believe that the viewing of that riot porn is an exceptionally good way to spend your time; as a police officer, it makes you feel liberated and gives you the sudden urge to rub pepper spray in an anarchist's eyes, water cannon his a** across a street, smash several parts of his patella/femur/hip in an vicious way... fighting back against the ignorant, pseudo-educated, Che-sucking wastes of oxygen. Totalitarianism 1 tax-paying, pot-smoking hippie meatbags 0. Even shiftier.

"There was a good sized protest last night in Seattle and it’s all over the news today. They are running video of it on all the local news channels. There is nothing I love more than watching hippies get the shit kicked out of them by cops on TV. I’m not saying I like cops or that I think one side was right and the other wrong. Honestly I am too apathetic to care about it either way. All I know is that for me it just doesn’t get any better than some ass clown in a gasmask and a pair of Birkenstocks getting a face full of pepper spray. Now that is good television. Cops even used something I had never heard of called 'sting grenades' and judging by the reaction of the hippies I saw they lived up to their name. They could just show protests and animal attacks on TV 24/7 and I’d be a happy camper."
