Sod Off Swampy!
Jeepers. I took a peek at Aldaynet. Lo! Behold! I found out I have the distinct honor of being the 100th Member of the Republican Attack Squad. Cool!
Good thing I peeked over there because had I not, I would have missed this story:
From the Times Online:
When 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail.
What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.
"We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs," one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. "I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view."
Hey Moonbat, by your own admission: "Greenpeace had hoped to paralyse oil trading at the exchange in the City near Tower Bridge on the day that the Kyoto Protocol came into force." The floor does business by open outcry in the pit. So, you go running into a place of business blowing whistles and sounding fog horns, with intent to "paralyse trading." Who are the thugs in this story? Instead of achieving your goal, you get your ass kicked. You're surprised? Hmph. Guess that's why you're a moonbat.
"They grabbed us and started kicking and punching. Then when we were on the floor they tried to push huge filing cabinets on top of us to crush us."
Ahahahahaha! What a kodak moment that must have been! The article says "they were set upon by traders, most of whom were under the age of 25."
"The violence was instant," Jon Beresford, 39, an electrical engineer from Nottingham, said. "They were kicking and punching men and women indiscriminately," a photographer said. "It was really ugly, but Greenpeace did not fight back."
Photographer? There was a photographer? Pictures! I want pictures!
Mr Beresford said: "They followed the guys into the lobby and kept kicking and punching them there. They literally kicked them on to the pavement."
Last night Greenpeace said two protesters were in hospital, one with a suspected broken jaw, the other with concussion.
Aww... poor moonbats. The story mentions that the moonbats used a couple of vans to transport themselves, one can only assume that the vans required the use of oil. Buncha hypocrites.
The only downside to this story is that there will probably be some lawsuits filed. On Monday I'm gonna call the oil floor and give 'em a round of good cheer and applause.
