Greatest thing to EVER happen to Vancity. Perfect execution, the VPD were seamless and should be commended for there great work!!! Way to go Vancouver!!!!!!!!!
The ORN, like the WTO rioters in Seattle and other socialist/marxist/anarchist/vegan blah blah blah groups are remotely interested in the issues they claim to fight for.
They're interested in dressing in black, tying bandanas over their faces, smashing property, and feeling the cool rush of participating in rebellious delinquency
I hope this bitch gets AIDS and dies a slow lingering painful death. This ugly whore cant get laid so needs to do this? She looks 15 years older than her age and could stand to lose a few pounds. I hope she gets "accidently" run over by a police vehicle. I dont want her to die though, I would rather have her paralyzed from the neck down. Get a job you stupid whore. These losers would rather have a world with nothing. Spend everything feeding the poor. Fuck you bitch.
Gonna cry, you mad? QQ. Not on WELFARE either...I'll look for your mug getting a beat down by the police you protesting piece of shit. Go attack some mailboxes hero, you have no public support.
These idiots simply use a public platform like the Olympics to spout there whiney bs antics by blaming the games for what the "DON"T HAVE" its pathetic
@Jesusfreak28532 well it is the perfect arena to bring the truth to the public...canadians like to believe they are the best, peace loving country when it has a horrible history of oppression bc is land that was not surrendered and therefore is being held on stolen land...the world is watching and Canada wants to pretend that they are good to the Indigenous people of this country.
what i was trying to say was that why couldn't their be protests at other things such as political rallies etc. In light of todays events(the riots that the ORN did), do you really think that was a way to prove a point? Set things on fire/vandalize things? That doesn't make any sense to me. I can see doing peaceful protests but what the ORN is doing is out of control
i think you are missing the point that peaceful protest accomplish nothing...it is sad but what happened to the indigenous peoples of canada was not in any way peaceful acts...if we are just to always say we need peace where does that get us...i am a mohawk ojibway woman who has suffered great pains in my life because of the thoughtless actions of superiority of the colonizers. we are suffering and peaceful actions do nothing to bring these truths to the conciousness of the world.
And vandalizing cars and shops does? Since when does two wrongs make a right? Never. Im sorry you've had atrocities commited against you and your people, but that doesn't give you the right to harm other people's property. NEVER. If you can't do it peacefully and gain attention, than perhaps you need to reevaluate your tactics(nonviolently).
Im not so hippie, peace loving person, but you never have the right to harm someone else physically or monetarily. Regardless of whats happened to you.
Say that to the thousands of children who were raped in residential schools...see if they think that they have no right to be angry and to lash out! Do u have any real idea of what autrocities we have had to live through. Don't cry about vandalizing a car...my father was raped by a priest in a school that was to kill the indian in the child. so it wasn't just our property taht was damaged it was our future generations. i for one have no qualms about the tactics that are being used.
@TheJlmccomber I seriously doubt anyone vandalizing cars and breaking windows yesterday had suffered any kind of injustice by the "white man". And even if they did, it's STILL no excuse. The idea that you can go into the streets and seek vengeance on a private citizens property or a business because "your people" had been wronged decades ago is ridiculous. Try using that defence in court and see how far it gets you. Want revenge for your people? Go burn down Catholic church.
um would you advocate those children beating the crap out of the people who did that to them? Where would that get us if we reacted violently every time something wrong happened? We'd all be dead. As I said before, two wrongs don't make a right. Im sorry that happened, but there are ways to fix things without violence.
Furthermore, I have ancestors that were in the Holocaust. Does that mean that I have the right to torch cars and demand repriations(sp?) for what happened to them? No. Just like its not okay for Palestinians to bomb Israel. Violence is never the anw=swer in these situations. In fact, the only time Id say "violence" is okay, is when you're dealing with a country like Iran and they threaten you first. Thats a country thats off its rocker
@TheJlmccomber "Thoughtless actions of the colonizers"? From what I saw at the opening ceremony, indigenous peoples have been represented and have profited quite nicely from the Olympics. Including being given 122 hectares of land in and around Whistler. Which is probably some of the most pricey real estate in B.C. Explain to me how the chief of the Squamish nation lives in a mansion in West Vancouver and makes more money than the Premier, but people on the band's land live in squalor.
how long have white people profited nicely from this land? we are talking about centuries. i think most canadians are convieniently unaware of the truth. if canada was suddenly invaded by another country and all the current occupants were dispossed of their lands and weath and became the poorest in this country they would understand what it feels like to be an indiginous canadian.
Deposed of their lands and wealth? If you never owned them(your ancestors did), than you can't talk about injustices. As you said, these particular injustices happened centuries ago. I'm sorry, but no amount of complaining/violence is going to give you your ancestors land back. And to blame the Canadians now for century-old injustices is like African Americans blaming the current Caucasians for slavery. Make the best of your situation and work for your efforts legally, not by blaming others.
And why haven't Natives profited from the land? Whats keeping you from doing so? If ya'll aren't taking the opportunity to do something with what you've been given, than thats your fault and noone else's.
Lol, you said it sorium. I challenge anyone to find and attradtive terrorist/protestor. The women all wear scarves on their heads, smell like b.o and shun shaving. skanks
@NeoMorpheus911 I guess you are using "country club" to say that the games are only for the rich. Well I am lower middle class and I am a taxpayer, too. So what about my rights? I am not against protesting but protesting should be done peacefully. Peoples lives are what they choose to make it and would be the same wether we had the olympics or not!
She talks about protesters rights being taken away, well what about the rights of the spectators. If I was at an event I would want the event to be disrupted be people chanting "No Olympics on stolen Native Land."
