FTAA protesters in Miami
 

Great.....the fricken' FTAA protesters will be marching right past where I live tomorrow morning...
________________________________________________
Protestors against the FTAA summit will march through Dade County on the morning of Tuesday, November 18th, causing brief disruptions to traffic along Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami. Their march will begin in south Broward on Tuesday morning, continuing south along Biscayne Boulevard all the way into downtown Miami.

The marchers are expected to reach the North Miami section of Biscayne Boulevard at about 9:00 am. They will make a brief (15-30 minute) rest stop at the Enchanted Forest park before continuing south. Permits have been applied for and granted.
________________________________________________

The park where they will be stopping is 100 yards from my house, so I'm going to have to leave for the offiice REALLY early, or just do this from home.

PLUS I have a friend who has a cell phone store downtown right in the area that the major protests will be. He wants me to come down and back him up..........he only has one shotgun, so I'm bringing him another one and a bunch of pepper spray. Those asshole will NOT be busting up HIS store.

Meanwhile the Miami PD has already confiscate tens of thousands of CUE BALLS and slingshots for firing them. If they start firing cue balls around, we are going to consider that use of deadly force and we will defend ourselves!:ak47: :BangBang:

so let me see if i understand you...

these people have been given a legal permit for their demonstration as per the constitution of the united states and you want to break the law and invalidate the constitution because you don't agree with the protesters or because you're second guessing that there *may* be incidents?

What's the FTAA? And has there been history of riots during their protests in the past?

You can protest all you want, as long as you don't break someone's else property.

We won't be doing ANYTHING unless they start attacking and destroying businesses as they have done at 3 other FTAA meetings prior to this. I completely agree with the lawful right to demonstrate, however if a group was coming to YOUR neighbor hood that had previously wrecked 3 other neighborhoods, would YOU take any precautions, or not?

Can you imagine what would happen to your head if you are hit by a cue ball shot from a sling shot? "second guessing"? I think not.

bonzo.. this is why I moved to Fort Lauderdale, alot less drama up here man.. come join the club! :) Keep in mind during your head bashing that the Teamsters make up a good % of those protesters :helpme

:1orglaugh

I love how they put "non violent" all over the site, but then they are bringing in thousands of cue balls and slingshots for them.

Does no one remember what happened in Seattle and Mexico?

Actually, I LOVE N maimi. It's quiet and peaceful and nice (living on the water especially), it's right inbetween downtown/south beach and ft lauderdale, and it still has a nice mix of all the cultures. Fort Lauderdale is great, but it's a little too segregated into white people/latins/everyone else. I like having Miami close by where everybody is mixed in together.

Yeah, I think this whole situation is a bit strange. They will be by my place tomorrow and I am worried that something may happen. While I do support their cause, I don't feel that violence is the answer. Hopefully, this will not get out of hand and become violent.

Oh is this the organization that set-up the WTO riots in Seattle and I think Toronto (or was it Montreal?)

Fuck yeh I'd be pissed as hell if they were coming to my neighborhood. Does this type of "demonstration" need a permit?

Yup, the same lovely folks:feels-hot

unemployed trouble makers.
If the police would crack a few skulls when the violence starts, they'd stop with the bullshit.

KKK rallies are more peaceful than those riots. Haha.

Now THERE'S and interesting juxtapostion of groups!:1orglaugh

I wonder if damages and other crimes caused by this possible riot could be classified as hate crimes? Hmm...

YEAH! That's it! Unfairly trageting people merely because they are capitalists!:Graucho :1orglaugh

Communist scum.

Seattle (Washington) and Mexico have gun laws. Florida does not. Why anyone would waste their time taking slingshots and cueballs is beyond me. If they are looking to cause true carnage they are probably already on top of acquiring the ammo.

hahahahaha
thats a couple blocks from my house

glad im in Odessa

Florida caryy permit laws only have reciprocity with 4 or 5 states, so they would probably have to be residents, which most of them aren't, besides in almost every state, you have to be a non-felon and pass a background check to get a carry permit, so they may have a hard time getting on.

BTW, Washington state is a right-to-carry state also, just like Florida, and in Washington you don't need to be a resident, just show up at a police station with your forms filled out, certificates of training (or a dd214) and your payment. It's actually easier to carry in Washington state then it is in Florida

carefull man, and with only a few guns you best make every shot count

Hopefully our presense in the window of his shop with pump shotguns will deter the bastards in the first place and they will just move on..... it's usually a small minority that causes the crap anyway, and I don't think that they really want to tangle with anyone that is prepared to fight back, (and who isn't the police)

Why would they fuck with your fucking house? your not Mcdonalds paying their neo slaves for slave labor. Your not the gap, your not big oil taking over iraq, you don't send American troops to kill for money and inslave the captured - maybe indirectly but not directly you have nothing to worry about!.:thumbsup

if you can you should get those rock salt shells, that way if you do end up shooting someone you dont go down for anything major

Yup, that's what we decided to load. Still have to be careful not to shoot anyone in the face though..........either way, it's only if they start damaging his cell phone store or threatening us, and if that happens......f@#% em'

I'm not talking about my house, I'm talking about my friends store downtown, and they weren't just busting up big chains the last time they decided to cut loose.

and BTW, when you smash up someone's Mcdonalds, you are smashing up someones private business....or don't you know what the word "franchise" means?

(I worked in a Mcdonalds when I was a kid, and I was nobodies "neo slave". When I didn't want to work there anymore....I quit.)
