Steve Sailer: iSteve: Riot Porn

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.)

Anonymous said...: 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; 1/15/07, 11:23 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.

Scrutineer said...: "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."

I always appreciate my readers' financial help. There are a few ways to support my work:

First: You can mail a non-tax deductible donation to:

Steve Sailer

P.O Box 4142

Valley Village, CA 91617-0142

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.

Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)

Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.

(Non-tax deductible.)

Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)

Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

"Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" Click on the image above to buy my book, a reader's guide to the new President's autobiography.
