In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

No, and you already know this, I was saying that muzzies rioting in the streets or threatening to over some national insult like burning the Koran is more newsworthy than a bunch of bipolar losers in Oakland engaging in a tiresome ritual that makes them feel fierce and revolutionary.
In my book, Mexicans burning an American flag in the street of LA or Phoenix needs to be a picture on the front page of every newspaper in the US. It actually means something, it's a sign that the "But they are just looking for a job and to help their families" folks need to see. Those idiots in Oakland are utterly irrelevant. They are basically homeless people with a pastime.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

That is strange. A good friend of mine is a Free Market Anarchist. He is considered as far right as it gets.
When I think of anarchists, I think of the far right.
On Edit: He is not an idiot, though. He is a PHd in economics. I suppose you can be an educated idiot but he is a very nice person with little or no hostility. He just believes, with a religious fervor, in the infallibility of the Market.

There isn't a huge difference between believing that and believing that nothing matters. The difference between a Wall Street Speculator with a house on Fire Island and a person worrying about his 401k is that the Wall Street guy isn't afraid to not pay his mortgage for a couple of months.

In other words, it's the consequences of the national insult, rather than the insult itself. We're saying the same thing. I want there to be consequences for burning the flag. I don't want to riot, or tear down our society, in fact I want to preserve it, and one of the ways to do that is to remove those whose stated goal is its destruction.
Agreed.
No, they're actually not homeless. These are affluent punks who are playing at being revolutionaries. They're today's Weather Underground and SDS. They're Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and, somewhere in the mix, the next Barrack Obama.
They stole the flag from the building.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
