Yet, they protest like they mean it:



COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Violent protests died out Saturday morning following a night of street clashes in Copenhagen, during which protesters threw cobblestones at riot police, erected barricades with burning trash bins and set at least a dozen cars on fire.

(...)

The eviction angered youths who have viewed the building as free public housing for years. It has also been a popular cultural center for anarchists, punk rockers and left-wing groups, where performers have included Australian musician Nick Cave and Icelandic singer Bjork.

(...)

Sympathy protests were held in Hamburg, in northern German, and in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

They have us trained VERY WELL over here in the States, don't they?

I look at the photo of the riot and think to myself, "Shouldn't we all be that angry about what's happened in this country (pick a reason)?"

I'm not trying to incite a riot, but damn, I don't see much justice going on in this country concerning the criminals in charge, is all I'm saying'.

2. Bill Maher DID try to incite a riot - at the last peace rally - LINK
It didn't work.
"You can't claim you're for peace unless you're willing to disturb it.

...You know who has peaceful, planned demonstrations? Totalitarian states with no civil liberties, like North Korea.... Therefore, tonight, I am urging all the protestors in New York next week to riot. ...Look, protestor: You spent 2 weeks making that paper mache Dick Cheney mask? Now, light it on fire, and torch the nearest Gap store. ...Pick up a garbage can and throw it through a Starbucks window."


You can find a link to the video here: http://www.newsfrombabylon.com/?q=node/4200/print

Maybe the rally on March 17th will be more to Maher's liking.
