Coming to a city near you soon: Madrid police fire rubbet bullets

[Hesper]

This morning I watched the adrenaline-surging video in the article about the thousands of people rallying in Madrid. My main question was, if (when) this happens in a city near you, will you go to the riot or stay at home?

I'll be going out, but I don't know about rioting.

Once you get violent, the PTB has you where they want you. Why in the world would anyone "go to the riot"?

I am scare of rioting. I don't feel well also in a big group of people. And I think that these manifestations wont change anything at all. They are controlled I am sure. So sincerely, I will not go.

They will be historic.

You never know, there may be one of those peaceful victories, like that one in Greece where they chanted the riot-police off of the street.

I would stay at home, there are many responsibilities to consider, and the aim of staying as active as possible for as long as possible. ;)

Just wanted to get a conversation going since this might be something that happens in the near future. I was also a little on the edge with it since, as Timey noted, it would be a moment in history. In America I really doubt that people would have the kind of control or collective intelligence that the Spanish protesters did, so this "I", the one posting weeks later, echoes your sentiment, Anart. I'd much rather use the chance to get the heck out of dodge and to a safe place before something worse happens (ie a total societal meltdown). Best to err on the side of caution than to be caught up in wild emotion.

Hard to be active when you're caught in a whirlpool. I totally agree :)

The conclusion I have reached by now is that not get real results with the manifestations and other movements. In Spain, manifest in one place or another every day, but things are getting worse. The objective fact is that nothing is achieved.

If something serious happens definitely true, I think it will impose a military state to control the population, or at least send some sort of special forces as happened in Greece.

Some voices speak of civil war, but now is different, I think not. But never know where may get hunger.
