Spanish Protest Turns Violent
Sadly the social unrest that we had predicted, when over 50% of the youth are unemployed and the politicians are navel-watching, has erupted, as angry protesters charge the local police, who in turn are arresting rioters and using volleys of rubbers bullets to keep the crowd at bay.

This will please Rajoy a lot more than it will Merkel...
Wait until the Serrano Ham runs out!
surely the unemployed can be hired as riot police.... Krugman would approve.
They must be protesting crucifixes in the classrooms.
España no es Grecia.
I am surprised the Spanish police have not joined the protesters due to the fact that they just protested pay cuts 2 months ago.
I guess some sadistic bastards just like stomping skulls.
It reminds me of Oakland last year. Police pensions were decimated by the city yet they were still out there bashing the heads of OWS protesters.
There's a fine line between a baton-swinging union thug and uh, a baton-swinging union thug.
Let the morale continue until the beatings improve!
Looks like a white riot!

Deer Dance - System of a Down lyrics
Circumventin' circuses
Lamentin' in protest
To visible police
Presence sponsored fear
Batallions of riot police
With rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy
Service with a smile
Beyond the staples center you can see America
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
With it's tired poor avengin' disgrace
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
Peaceful lovin' youth against the brutality
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
Of plastic existence
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
A rush of words
Pleadin' to disperse
Upon your naked walls, alive
A political call
The fall guy accord
We can't afford to be neutral on a movin' train
Beyond the staples center you can see America
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
With it's tired poor avengin' disgrace
(Lalala lalala lalalala)
Peaceful lovin' youth against the brutality
(Lalala lalala lalalala)

(Lalala lalala lalalala)
Of plastic existence
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push the world around
A deer dance, invitation to peace
War starin' you in the face
Dressed in black
With a helmet, fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents
For the disproportioned malcontents
The little boy smiled, it'll all be well
And see the little boy smiled, it'll all be well
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushin' little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around
I see what you did there.
Just wait to see what happens in America when they take social security and medicare from those who paid in to it.
Most of these countries in Europe do not have guns like we have here. That's why they have armed guards at the SS office now.
I have even been told they have dudes with riot gear at unemployment offices. OWS will seem passive if they steal
Social Security from those who earned it. It will be interesting to see, for sure. Yachts, horse dancing and jets for those
who will and can party in Greece, France, Asia, and the Tropics. The rest will be a combat zone. Unbelievable.
Depression II for sure. Never thought I would see it here. But hey. We had a ten year war that was never paid for. Check please.
I was there last night... Peaceful until they decided to break it up and start firing rubber bullets.
It's all fun and games for the rest of us until the ATM stops working.
Oddly the mega libtard union city cups with Dimtard mayors were the biggest skull breakers with OWS like Mayor Daley's Chicago cop thugs in 1968.
They only protest because of a controversial movie trailer on youtube. Nothing to do with governments.
Controversial American states she doesn't like OLIVES! Spanish protests begin! Greeks soon to follow!

(Yes, it's silly. But isn't this whole damn thing absurd?)
Greece is on deck tomorrow...
http://www.athensnews.gr/portal/1/58316
Your comment reminded me of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5FT47kLZfs
Greece and Germany breakup, Spain and Britain watch from the sides.
silly but . . .
Send Hillary and Obama over to apologize for something!
It's called a paycheck so they can continue to yum yum yum.Just go's to show that they will simply adjust or better yet "Comply or Bye".
maybe they were offended by the 'innocence of muslims' trailer too... /s
Impossible, Spain expelled all the Mohammedans on September 11. (1609)
YEs, all this breaking will be hugely stimulative.
I expect full employment by Christmas...of course it will be in a the Army as they go to war with Catalone but hey, potato Potatoe
Even the Romans figured out that you definitely do NOT fuck with the Basques. Spain has not figured that out since 36'.
You can always hire half the poor to kill the other half.
jamón +50
Someone at the back of the crowd yell "bear!".
Wont the ECBs bond buying stop this.
Yes, that bastion of purity and good. The ECB bond, it's done a lot of good.
Agreed. The EU experiment is a huge failure in that they have denied themselves the ability to do what Bernanke and Geitner do - buy endless debt by creating endless money from nothing and forcing interest rates to zero.
Japan has done it successfully for years.
What can go wrong...???
Here is a video of the recent violence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDcRpCHfRgs&feature=g-all-u
Shit's gettin' real.
Re'Al.
Let the bulls losse in the streets
No, it's not.
This is nothing.
Until snipers start putting bullets in the heads of the elites, nothing will change. Until bullets start generating blood flow, this is just a bunch of people talking loudly in the street.
Insignificant.
It doesn't matter if the thought is horrifying or if you advocate it. It's just factual. Demonstrations can't change the math. Bullets can because the math arbiter can be killed.
If you wanna see bullets flyin', just wait 'til the EBT and SNAP cards stop workin'. Then it'll be on like Donkey Kong.
Coming soon to a locality near you!
Bullish Fighting!
Was just getting concerned about this when CNBC reminded me that I should be worried about the "blown call" in last night's game. Now I feel better.

If you look at the 3rd pic down I think the cops are going to have a hard time putting down any serious rush by protesters. Once stripped of batons and gear, they're going to get mauled. I think it's only a matter of time before the protesters resort to the type of violence your vid portrays. Once they cross that line, shit gets really bad for the baton twirlers...
http://www.ibtimes.com/spanish-protests-devolve-violent-riots-795751
I don't much blame the baton twirlers. Historically, they are the key to the whole situation. When the military/police split and begin to turn against the regime - and they will - then the revolution/civil war is on. It'll work the same way in Amerikwa.
Its the protestors who should be wearing helmets not the frickin cops
Is that hissing sound deposit flight?
When Spainard turns on Spainard , its bad.
When people have nothing to lose, they lose it. ~Gerald Celente
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. Without basic essentials (self worth from employment) idealism turns to FIGHT or FLIGHT response. Those who are left will fight.
According to the Mitt, 47% of the US believes they are entitled to things like food.
You are free to die and before you do, crawl off the sidewalk so the winners can get through.
Huffpo misses you
bullish on batons
bullish on bullets
oh come on spain. be like us. We have the NFL and texting our friends all day. theres more important things to do
This is what happens when you quit giving away the Spiderman towels..
That spiderman comment made me laugh so much my tea came out my nose!
That was funny. There is so much that goes on day to day that I tend to forget some of the events. Thank God for fellow Hedgers that remember.
Obviously they are trying to free Jon Corzine.
I wish the protesters would gear up better. The lesson I've learned from the Greek is when protesting bike helmets are a must-have.
a loaf of bread has more cushion though.
Hell Motocross gear would be helpful or even shin guards strategically placed. You can tell by the dress of the police that they are looking for violence, the protestors were not. Enough of these videos should get the protestors in gear.
Might I also suggest paint filled balloons. It worked well for the UK student riots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRKcPZt61SQ
Good trick for filling up balloons with paint - http://splat-montreal.tripod.com/cgi-bin/paintbombs.pl
annonymous masks with built in head protection!!! get on it someone
Not good at all.
This looks like the correction that will be prelude to some BS pre-election rally.
Technically and historically, today's chart was necessary.
I also covered AAPL.
I tried to edit my last post and ended up deleting it. I think AAPL sees $650-$655 before Friday. I will definitely buy more puts if the tape is still negative.
Politicians = Omphaloskepsis
attention PPT please pick up the red phone.
And now CNBC is running it as Breaking News. As if they just noticed among all of the idiots telling us how the markets will scream to infinity. Sad for Spain but pretty stupid over here.
Cramer says "BUY BUY BUY Spanish Bonds" *honk* *honk*
They aren't upset about their government or their unemployment, they obviously watched last nights Packers/Seahawks game.
Even the spaniards want the replacement refs finished
Someone must have left a dumpster unlocked..doh!
It's official...Bond Vigilantes are pussies.
Too bad unemployed youth has more cajones.
If I where a Bond Vigilante I would be attacking now knowing NO ONE is going to do anything to disrupt the New Leader of the previous FREE WORLD known as Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Sortero.
Their defenses are down and no one is paying attention.
The old Bond Vigilantes are being neutralized by IRSwaps and remain on the sidelines so as not to get annihilated. If you want to get killed, go ahead and show us how. The FED is controlling EVERYTHING, including the entire bond market.
Why should the bond vigilantes do anything when the politicians have shown they will do anything in their power to make the vigilantes whole, even if it means ripping the country apart? I'd say its the politicians who are pussies.
My company was entertaining a Spanish visitor last year. My boss and I were trying to decide how to show him a good time in the off-hours. I provided the winning idea, and we took him shooting. The guy had never picked up a gun prior to that, and he had a great time.
He was a smart man. If he didn't see that practical value to the hobby before, I'm sure he sees it now. Best of luck to the Spaniards in resisting the NWO.
Molon labe
Rubber bullets? HA! Wait until they escalate force {they will}, and they forgo the rubber and use lead. That will mark the turning point, and the government is over. The EU as we know it has but weeks left.
The Obsolete Man, one of the best Twilight Zone episodes ever. Rod was WAY ahead of his time +1
It's on youtube. Download it. It is downright scary, the parallels from the story to what is happening today. Soon, I'm afraid, WE WILL ALL BE THE OBSOLETE MAN.
Can you believe Rod Serling's Alma Mater was Antioch College?
You know the one the eventually decided that freeing Mumia was a good idea?
Talk about a fall from grace.
I have all five seasons on DVD. But I saw that one episode on TV (TOM) and made me want to buy them all. It is still my favorite and I agree with you that what is happening today is eerily similar...
It might not be important now, but the obsolete man's name was -- Romney.
I probably read too much into such things. But I have discovered over the centuries that reading more into things than seems warranted is usually ... warranted.
Some kid named Franco will be making speeches soon...
... to save Spain from itself. You can count on it.
That's right. Just like he did before, when he routed the Red-globalists. Too bad, libtards.
odummer will also
order mounds of bullets on the protesters..when the protest erupt here in US.
odummer's response: but, but, ME the QEorganizer was PRINT BABY PRINT...so that the TRICKLE DOWN effect from the WS bonuses trickled down to you and you get a nickel raise as a shoe shine boy...NEVER mind the HUMONGOUS RAISE IN INFLATION...
STUPIDITY YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.....ROFLMAO !!!
Yep. Once enough folks refuse to go quietly into the "free speech zone" (fuckin' really?), the force will escalate in a big way.
you see what happens larry?

"This is what happens, Larry..."
A classic that never gets old:

They should take a herd of bulls and run them through enemy lines. But I pray for peace and that the banksters let people run their own societies.
As soon as the political class begins using bitcoin to hide their bribes we will be free again.
The problem with crowds is that they are never organized. If a crowd ever does truly get organized it will rip the cops apart, and do so easily.
What the fuck is wrong with the PPT Today??? It took them almost 6 minutes to get in there and buy the dip!!! They momentarily allowed the market to show that it is completely bidless and that is not allowed. They must be fired and replace immediately!
Fonz I detect that you are getting a little more cynical with each passing day. Here's something pretty cool.... My daughter wanted to make her list for Santa so we sat down and made it together,she asked me how to spell each word and she wrote it. We just mailed it off to the North Pole today.
North Pole is all melted, bro. The USPS is bankrupt. Santa ain't gonna make it. Sorry.
\sarc
Shhhhhhh... If you don't mind we will keep that between us for now. She's my last one. ..... I think.
Please Santa, hang all banksters from lamposts by New Year's Day.
Was that on the list?
I'd settle for just the Fed+Krugman.
i think it would actually only take one, then the talking heads would shut up......times have changed and these pussies would run to the hills if there was one major incident.....actually, it may take two. one to show them it can happen and the other to show them it can be done again and noone can stop it.
When it comes to the capital markets I am a complete and total cynic and fully admit it. I wish more than anything that the market would finally expose Bernanke and the rest of TPTB. It is funny I watched it before basically go bidless for a few mins but as usual, someone decided that was enough of a correction.
What I don't want is a slow implosion that erodes most of my adult life and the people around me. I fear that is what we are going to get. This big crash moment never happens but the world just becomes a shittier place by the day.
It's funny I think a cynic today is someone rooting for the status quo and trying to rationalize it to me. I appreciate the tip with your daughter by the way. I do still enjoy the day and I will make that list as well with my daughter. Great idea and thanks for passing it on.
I feel the same way. I just want it to blow up and get it over with. Watching things deteriorate slowly is almost mind numbing.
Doc, I have zero idea how the hell a simple and warm statement like that could get two downvotes.
WTF people?!?!
pods
Sometimes Pods after you've been here long enough somebody eventually gets pissed off about something you say and they junk you no matter what. I just accept them for what they are... Badges of honor.
Maybe they junked you because of your cruelty, to send a sweet girls letter to nowhere when everybody know Santa lives in Northen Finland?!
According to my YouTube thumb analytics it's some gay guy in Iran.
Yeah no kidding, and I thought I was the cynic...what does that make someone downvoting a kids list to Santa?
Might be Rudolph nosing his iPad, you know how hard it is to hit the right arrow even if you have fingers.
No, it was me. I am offended nobody gives me credit for being $anta Clau$. I even have a beard and an pet mutt named Jamie who, every year, leads me through the fog of truth to arrive at...???. Jamie, the bald-faced liar. There's even a song about it.
"Jamie the bald-faced liar,
had a very annoying look
and if you ever saw him,
you would know he is a crook..."
I love that song
Even money says it's because dear old Sants represents ties to a Christian holiday.
This social unrest may seem as serious now, but surely all these people will barely remember it in the future.
Mainly 'cause most will probably die from malnutrition, as well as lack of medical care, for a prolonged period of time.
Do not worry, the bakeries, as well as the butchers will be open tomorrow, the tube and the trains will be on schedule and the golf courts are open as well. Another boring day in paradise and the MSM can broadcast and write... Move on.
the protesters outnumer the cops by 1000 to 1. who and what are the cops protecting?
.
Their soon-to-be-bouncing paychecks?
Provisions in as-of-yet looted stores that they have claimed first right to; that's what they are ultimately protecting.
Great. Last time it was Franco. Now it's Banco.
Double Post.
Spain hearts la policia!
lol @ lazy spaniards ...wake me up when they start burning shit down... they're almost as weak at the occupy wall street clowns/hippies
Be sure to send us pictures of yourself the next time you man the barracades.
%50 youth unemployment in the uk...place would burn to the ground, 1 week tops
Its coming folks. You can feel it, see it, smell it, taste it.
This is what the PTB fear the most. It is a revalation, an eye opener for those who are not clued in. The masses will awake without us giving signs or help. They will know when they cannot put food on the table. This game is almost upon us.
Roll the fucking dice bitchez.
Revalation...a hybrid of a revolution and a revelation?...can't wait
sounds more like 'revaluation' which is what the spanish real estate market is doing

POTUS spoke to UN about the wonder of democracy and liberty. When people have no work; thus no dignity, can you say "police state" "Martial Law" here we come and fock human rights when our security is threatened!
Who is this POTUS you speak of? Did he have a teleprompter,
They are not talking about me.
Sadly this is nothing compared to what CHina does to its own citizens.

So is it safe to say that people who seek power for "change" are no different than the people currently holding power?
It would appear to be pretty easy to slip in there with an RPG and quash one of those cop scrums! Now, that would be "real shit"!

This will be our future and it will not be long unless we the people demand the Federal Reserve end it's corrupt policies and that Bernanke and his cabal be held responsible. Who's with me. I know Ron Paul would be.
I played StarCraft with a guy in Spain a few minutes ago.

Wait, can't they just Facebook their way to a revolution a la Arab Monsoon and along the way do some Farmville Farming and sticky-eyeball sufing to make up for the sorry state of Andalusian and Valencian agriculture?
"when over 50% of the youth are unemployed "
youth unemployment is apparently not 50% but actually much lower:
http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/the-mirage-of-youth-unemploy...
That article must have been written by someone who was not part of the 50% unemployed, probably an economist.
If there are ten million young people looking for work and only five million of them finds a job, who cares that there are millions still in school? The unemployment rate for those looking for a job is 50%. The 50% that can't find a job are angry. In the video there were only a few hundred. SHTF when they get organized and all of them show up.
