Still Free

Yeah, Mr. Smiley. Made it through the entire Trump presidency without being enslaved. Imagine that.

"No Power is worth the Cost of Human Lives"

“No power is worth the cost of human lives,” Vladimir Makeyenko, the mayor of Kiev, said in a video appeal to his fellow party members and officers of the Ukrainian security forces."
Ok. How about we revisit the US Civil War and allow the South to secede.

While we're at it, Let's condemn the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because there were plenty of dead bodies that went along with that one.

And of course we have the entire state of Israel which continues to kill Palestinians to "maintain power".

Shall the US also go and clear things up with the North Koreans? Bodies, bodies and more bodies.

How about this:

Serhiy Liovochkin, who tendered his resignation in late November, just after the first crackdown of the uprising saw police in Kiev’s Independence Square severely beat dozens of students, who had been holding a peaceful all-night vigil for integration with the European Union.
Ok. sure. So cracking down is grounds for removing a democratically elected president?

and this:

8.36am / 3.36am ET: Police have used tear gas to remove the last protesters from the park, according to various reports. Josh Harkinson, again, appears closest to the action. He tweeted: The riot police moved in with zip cuffs and teargassed the occupiers in the food tent Then they wrestled them to the ground and cuffed them He then says he was ordered to leave by police, despite saying he was a member of the media. All press had to go a press pen, officers told him. There doesn't appear to be any media access to the final removals of protesters.
Tear gas?

Batons

I say Obama just go and resign. How about it? I mean if police are tear gassing people and shit, the president should just up and resign!

How about this:

New York court upholds eviction of Occupy protesters
Well clearly the justice system is corrupt and so Obama should just resign!

Yup. Clearly by the logic of these folks, Obama and a few judges should be removed from office immediately.

Right? Right?

Cause if the police move to break up a protest the government is definitively illigitimate.

Well if that's not how we do things here in the land where we supposedly hold democracy dear, then why are "we" providing cover for people who are clearly not interested in institutional democracy?

Seriously though, that statement makes no sense. Essentially it means that the mob can simply threaten anyone it pleases in order to get what it wants. Ukarinians will live long enough to regret the road they have walked down. When those bankers get a hold of the Ukraine, they will find out the meaning of IMF and austerity. Wait until they are under the gun of Brussels, where unelected people from various countries can step in and muck about with Ukraine's laws and economics for the interests of the bankers. They will know.
