Riots in Iceland

[~°2012°~]

Peaceful protest turned into full blown riots in front the parliament Alþingi in Reykjavík Iceland today. Police is losing control of the situation beating and pepper-spraying the crowd without any result. Many are injured both protesters and police, as the situation is only turning more violent.

It's inevitable that this is going to be a Europe wide phenomenon - and I'm glad!

Everyday is only going to be more chaotic from now I think. The politicians have been stuck inside the parliament all day unable to get out, the mob has run amok, holding them "hostage" inside the building while smashing windows, starting fires, blowing fireworks, throwing rocks and lose objects in the police. Just now a huge Christmas tree in the town center has been cut down and set a blaze.

I always look to Iceland as a haven for Northern Europeon culture - not as dirtied by the multiculturalism the rest of us face. I hate to see the economic and cultural turmoil there.

What are they rioting in favour of?

Oh the solution is simple: Peg the currency to an ultra low level and get stinkin' rich off foreign aid.
What? What do you mean what about the regular Icelanders? Who cares about them... This is a democracy of the elite

What are they rioting in favour of?

Protesting the bottomless corruption of the government, they want the government to resign and the Bankers, the head of the Financial Supervisory Authority and the head of the Central Bank of Iceland Davíð Oddson hanged for treason .. basically

Good to see someone are doing something about this fucked up world. Hopefully, this will spread as fire on a dead jew, and hit other countries to, Norway and Sweden needs it to the extreme!

... as fire on a dead jew ...

Speaking of... time to get rid of that philosemitic president Grimsson. A disgrace to his country, elected last year for a 4th term because there were no other candidates (!). Perhaps this is our moment, this is our time... yes, we can? Where are the Icelandic nationalists now?

[HawkR]

They are there, hopefully.
