I wonder why the riot gear says Police on it. That's kind of strange.

What was the riot about?

fuck. looks intense.

food , corruption , politics .. money .. usual stuff

saw that first picture yesterday. things look intense.

Nice pics.

why the hell you need a RPG for a riot !

stupid Russkies lol

it's in their blood.

instead of working, they are rioting

It always amazes me that in today's day and age this kind of stuff is still possible - the people overthrowing a government. Usually it's a bullshit power grab, but in this case I think the "people" were right. However, their government is completely broke and the first thing they want to do is kick out the US - and l loose a $60 mil a year lease. Fine, we'll leave, but your on your fucking own.

Nice setup! An RPG launcher and a riot shield.

:1orglaugh

It's funny you Americans think you're immune to this sort of thing. What a shock you're in for when unemployment hits a all time high and inflation is threw the roof..

Don't forget the fanny pack :1orglaugh

That's where he keeps the Ipod so he can listen to his Riot Hits mix his buddy made for him

Wow, that first pic is nasty !! :warning

really sad

I rooting for the race wars to start soon.

That's hot...

Yeah just wait till there is no food on the shelves at the local super markets in the USA. People will FREAK OUT. The easiest way to control a population is to simply starve them. Worked pretty good when the communists wiped out 8 to 10 million people in the Ukraine about 100 years ago.

Kyrgyz stone throwers and RPG protesters. Sounds lethal...

Are you really so stupid?
Don't talk about things you don't now anything about.

Awesome kick dude! High five!

Gee, I wonder why it is you want to defend the communists?

I am not defending communists at all. But you are wrong about "wiped of" and at least check your facts, it was not 100 years ago.

happening because government that was supported by USA didn't bring any good to it's people. These guys are really brave,a no one is immune to this kind of things. You just need someone from outside to help a little.

...sad :(

:mad::mad:

won't happen in our lifetime (attempts at overthrowing government)...

Well that's what one would think right, but just think back to the LA riots. Now picture that 1000x worse spreading out to cities across the US. At certain points the police become powerless to do anything. They're not just going to start shooting American citizens. Americans are also armed to the teeth. It could get really ugly. Not saying that it's going to happen, I'm saying it could happen.

Fucker stole my Modern Warfare 2 class!

They starved the people to death. Ok it was not 100 years ago more like 80 years ago. Of course people with at least 2 brain cells know why this genocide is kept quiet in the history books.

The details of a little-known genocide that resulted in the deaths of as many as 10 million people will be presented in an exhibition opening on May 27 at The Ukrainian Museum in Manhattan's East Village.

The exhibition, Holodomor: Genocide by Famine, is one of a series of events taking place around the world to commemorate the 75th anniversary of what James Mace, the director of the U.S. Commission on the Ukraine Famine (1988), referred to as "the crime of the century that nobody's ever heard of."

The horrific event, known in Ukrainian as the Holodomor (literally, murder by starvation), took place in 1932-1933, less than twenty years after Ukraine was forcibly incorporated into the Soviet Union. Determined to force all Ukrainian farmers onto collective farms, to crush the burgeoning national revival, and to forestall any calls for Ukraine's independence, the brutal Communist regime of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin embarked on a campaign to starve the Ukrainian people into submission.

The Soviet government confiscated all the grain produced by Ukrainian farmers, withheld other foodstuffs, executed anyone trying to obtain food, and punished those who attempted to flee. As a result, in the land called the Breadbasket of Europe, millions of men, women, and children were starved to death.

Stalin boasted privately that as many as 10 million people – 25% of Ukraine's population – had perished during the Holodomor. At least 3 million of the victims were children.

Despite the magnitude of the atrocity, the Soviet regime, behind its Iron Curtain, denied the existence of the Holodomor for decades, denouncing any reports as "anti-Soviet propaganda." It was not until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent establishment of an independent Ukraine that the contents of many sealed government archives were uncovered, exposing a wealth of gruesome information.

Much of that information is included in Holodomor: Genocide by Famine, which consists of 100 panels of photographs, documents, government reports, eyewitness accounts, and other archival material detailing virtually every aspect of the tragedy.

There's always some fucked up shit going on in any one of those "stan" countries.

Basically, if you live in a country with "stan" at the end of it, get the fuck out. But you're probably not allowed to leave, or the airlines don't take goat milk as currency.

LA riots had nothing to do with anything but an excuse. they saw an excuse to fuck shit up and rob stuff, so they did. burnt down their own neighborhoods in the process. very stupid. americans would probably sooner turn on each other since the two party system does such a good job of dividing people.

Yes, the world is getting crazier and crazier with every single day. It looks like Kyrgyzstan will be now under supervision and influence of Russia.

Really makes me wonder if Americans have any common sense or they are completely brain washed...

On one side, you " liberate " a country that did not asked to be freed ( in fact two : Iraq - Afghanistan ) , then claim that Iranians should overthrow their oppressive regime ( which is ) , but on the other hand are not able to understand that in that " republic " people were lied to, cheated of, president puts his family everywhere, steals ... and Oh, they are rioting ....

Fucking right they are rioting, and taking over ... That is called a revolution and that is what happens when the population is oppressed .. No need for external forces to come in ...


BTW, Iran already did that a while ago ...

What we can see here by the posters is thatr if it is not "US planted " or in favor of " US interest " it is not good...

You guys are fucking pathetic ... ( Rockhard : booooo. I lose my base ... ).

:2 cents:

We have a deeply flawed foreign policy. Sorry :(

I used the LA riots as an example.

what these moron protestors seem to forget is that the police are the same common people as they are doing a job. they are just fighting themselves.

It's amazing that with all that going on, there are photographers in the middle of it all just to deliver the news. Crazy!

I've never even heard of that place.

I am guessing if his foot on the ground was turned more.. his hip would be turned into it and giving more power and landing that down on the ankle sucks.
