I see this little bicycle weave through the crowd and stop in front of the troops. He stood there for a few minutes. I’m not sure why. -- Julia Ioffe, Moscow Correspondent for the New Yorker --
The image, captured in Moscow, is a stark reminder that tyranny has spread its wings the world over.
Whether you’re living in Greece, the Peoples’ Republic of communist China, oligarch Russia or the democratic United States of America makes no difference. The battle between David and Goliath is being fought on many fronts and in many nations.
As a bloody skirmish between police and opposition activists in central Moscow was drawing to a close on Sunday a small boy on a tiny bicycle pedaled through the crowd and approached a line of hulking riot police.He sat there for a moment, balancing on his training wheels, staring at the menacing troops who were decked out in blue camouflage uniforms and full riot gear, nightsticks at the ready.
A group of protesters who had been heckling the cops began jeering, “Here’s the guy that will storm the Kremlin. Be ready boys! Here he comes!”
Julia Ioffe, the Moscow correspondent for The New Yorker and Foreign Policy magazine, happened to be standing right behind him. She whipped out her iPhone and snapped a picture which she tweeted out to her over 6,000 followers with the caption “Russia’s Tianamen (sic) image.”
The photo quickly ricocheted around the internet.

What was going through the minds of these armed and ready riot police as this toddler stared them down?

As capitalists everywhere demand it in the name of commerce uber alles.

Ignoratio elinchi roughly translates to "a red herring.". In other words, you're throwing out ridiculous statements to derail the thread.
Indeed, your "statement" is so patently absurd, it doesn't merit debate. You might as well claim the moon is made of cottage cheese, and then demand I disprove it.
Your attempts to derail anything that negatively reflects on the o'Bungler. police-state smack of desperation, though, which pleases me greatly. [One must wonder whether you're another government stooge paid to distract REAL Americans from noticing the rampant corruption? I find it difficult to believe anyone else could be so consistently slavish to the nanny-state.]
Thank you for proving the point I made to Mad Dog.
CHECK-mate.

Otherwise known as you can't disprove it only you are too much of a weasel to admit it. Plus the definition of derail in your world must mean interjecting any opinion not your own.
BTW it's nice to see that you and Mad Dog have kissed and made up. You two should make a cute couple.

Oh, my, *more* red herrings. How original.
Now let's get down to some REAL questions:
What will you do when the socialists in government declare martial law? What will you do when the DHS wages war on American citizens?
WHO do you stand with in solidarity?

It's clear what you'll do, call American citizens standing for freedom communists and applaud police abuse of power.

Oh, goody, ANOTHER red herring. Nothing like repeating the same bullshit over and over, expecting different results.
There are countless articles I've posted documenting and decrying "police abuse of power," as well as rejection of the closing fist of the state over the people... Can YOU say the same? Maybe you could provide some links to those articles YOU have posted? Oh, and BTW, posting links to the "four legs good, two legs bad" articles you usually put up, does not merit a worthy defense.
In other words, "put up or shut up, bitch."
And I noticed you didn't answer the question, merely tried to turn it on me. So what IS your response to the following questions?
What will you do when the socialists in government declare martial law?What will you do when the DHS wages war on American citizens?
WHO do you stand with in solidarity?
I'm very interested to see what your answers are... though you act too weak, too brain-washed, to have ever considered such questions before.
"Put up or shut up, bitch."

Seems to be your new canned response - not very creative.

Capitalist Eric: Oh, goody, ANOTHER red herring.
loonyMing: Seems to be your new canned response - not very creative.
Indeed. Your red herrings are getting a bit old, and you're boring me. Even the above response is another of the same. You're right- you're NOT very creative.
So, what are your answers to the questions I posed to you? AFTER you answer mine, will I consider answering any of yours.
Still waiting...........

STILL waiting for your reply.
AFTER you answer my questions, I'll answer yours.
WELL??????

Your question is hypothetical, speculative; police action against OWS is fact.
#35. To: lucysmom (#34)
Your evasions are starting to bore me. AGAIN.
STILL waiting for your reply to my questions.
Are you going to answer, or not?
It really comes down to a single, simple question: Do you side with the police- state, or do you side with the people?
WHERE are your loyalties?
#36. To: Capitalist Eric (#35)
WHERE are your loyalties?
My loyalties are with the 99%. While you sit in front of your computer and whine about your rights, they have put their necks on the line in defense of those same rights.
#40. To: lucysmom (#36)
My loyalties are with the 99%
But they don't all want the same thing, they have differing opinions.....
#41. To: CZ82 (#40)
But they don't all want the same thing, they have differing opinions.....
Eric won't answer my question, conveniently he just flies into one of his name-calling rages when it's his turn so maybe you would help him out - tell me what you think he means when he asks Do you side with the police- state, or do you side with the people? Who are Eric's "people" (obviously I am not a people).
#45. To: lucysmom (#41)
tell me what you think he means when he asks Do you side with the police- state, or do you side with the people? Who are Eric's "people" (obviously I am not a people).
I would say he's already decided which side you will take by your posting history, but he wants to hear it from you.....
Which leads into what I said about the differing opinions of the 99%... Some of them want to be individuals and experience freedom for themselves and their families, some want the chance to be all they can be without Government interference, some want the Nanny State, some just want freebies and some have absolutely no clue what the hell they want... (they just go along with the propaganda they hear)..... I.E. the Occutards!!!!
Maybe if you chose one of the ones I listed or come up with your own and expounded on it??????

Here's Eric's question again: It really comes down to a single, simple question: Do you side with the police- state, or do you side with the people? To appease Eric, you suggest I chose a group from your list to defend against the state, or generously, suggest I make a list of my own; here's a partial list borrowed from Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
