For Our Friends Abroad

I see that the world media is portraying the USA as having a huge melt down over the verdict in Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Just so you know, yesterday in my home town I went for a long walk, had a Margarita on the front porch of my uncle's home, and played video games with my daughter. There was an up-ended garbage can downtown - possibly the result of some violent protest - but most likely up-ended by my neighbor, Mrs. Eire, aged 96, who has tendency to bump into things with her 1989 Oldsmobile. I didn't meet anyone who had any clue as to what was going on with that case. In short, most of America doesn't care and most of America looks on with utter amazement as cesspools like L.A. and NYC descend into violence at every opportunity. Bear in mind that these are the two locations in our country that people go to when they want to establish an acting career - over acting is what they do. So I propose we make a deal: I suggest that I won't believe the news outlets when they find Euro-scum and portray human debri as representative of some vast movement across the pond if you'd return the same courtesy. Thanks.

Remember a few years ago (2005?) when there were some riots in the suburbs of Paris and some other bigger towns in France ? That was broadcasted as "civil war in France" on every US TV channel, some of them showing tanks (?!) and barricades. Actually, this was a very peaceful couple of days. I had a couple days off and only heard about the whole thing two days after it was over. Tlak about media covering...

before entering into any kind of deal. What exactly are you referring to?
is this vast movement something to do with the jobbie in the post above?

I just thought it was the Americanism for the proper spelling. There are a fair few so it's easy to make that mistake!
I saw it as a sign of solidarity -- I mean, we British have to hate the French by law, so it's nice to see our Leftpondian brothers supporting it.

There are laws about paying your meter bill. There are no laws about building a world destruction laser in a secret volcano lair.

I live in Florida about 3 hours from Tampa and to be honest I didn't know the verdict until someone told me. Traffic was light today, there was a mild cold rain all weekend.

there is if you bypass the meter

Bypassing the meter is an important safety measure: when you fire up this baby, the little dials would spin so fast they might start a fire!

Not all of LA or New York are cesspools: only the bits where the rioters live. Must say I find it ironic that you protest against violence by being violent and trashing your own back yard. As an aside, since when has justice had anything to do with the law? He was found not guilty by a jury of his peers: that should be the end of it.

Personally, I do not understand the logic of: Smashing store windows, overturning cars, looting, beating people up, setting fires, etc, in order to: protest violence in society....
If only that's what they were protesting. I think the people doing these things just look for an excuse to break stuff.

It is -- except that it's called football, because it involves interacting with a ball using only one's feet (hence the trampling being particularly apropos).
