Unhappy with the demands for bribes from local officials, a disgruntled snake-charmer in the Uttar Pradesh region of Northern India took anti-corruption matters into his own hands...
Act of Terror? Or patriot?

Mine is bigger than that
Fighting fire with fire... Professional courtesy.
Hopefully they were posionous.
You don't get out a lot do you?
Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes?
At least it wasn't the Syrian version...."ALLAH AK...BOOM"
I take this unique gesture from this snake charmed individual to be both auspicious and favorable to the times; that is to say that it has been quite some time--my god, years now--since that very nice and equally unique reporter decided to cast his shoe in the general direction of the, then, president of the United States.
Why is this of interest to me? Well, even though gestures like releasing snakes and tossing shoes seems, well, for a lack of time and better words, funny, to us, it is still a very nice portent to see committed. For, in these cultures, this type of action is symbolic of real opposition to authoritative figures.
Good. I hope that humans across the globe become in engaged in, first, becoming angry, and, later, reconciling anger so that it does not necessarily dissovle or disappear, but, rather, to have it become a part of you such that it acts as an element of strength that supports personal growth.
Didn't know Obama, Kerry, Hillary and their neocon overlords were visiting India.
Thank you Mr Kaczinsky.
History tells us, it would have been more effective if a tax man were found hanging from a tree with an attached note that says,
"the hangings will continue until there are no more bribes, or no more tax men."
+1000 for the Indiana Jones quote. :)
They all appeared rather bored with the wrigglers....
Don't tread on me.
Snakes can be so sensuous....
I love the sexy slither of a lady snake
or do you mean sensual, mrs wermer?
sensuous up...would ya get me a beer?
Do they have snake-free zones in India?
Whats up with Zero hedge posting news that are 4 years old!

shameless!
Genius.
No. Not Genius.
Getting some of those newly minted H-1-2 visas that were quadurupled (by our dearly concerned congresscritters) for hiring for seasonal "amusement parks" jobs, we can open a snake amusement parks all over the country, and then "pay" our snake charmers to take the show on the road, particularly in DC and their congresscritters homes. Not all those snake charmers could possibly be terrorists???
Now THAT would be genius!
ONe man's snake charmer (terrorist) is another man's freedom fighter!
We have plenty of gator charmers right here down the bayou. Why outsource?
I prefer the mechanical manure tosser..
I like that guy.
When greed is your god there's never enough.
Love at first bite;)
The natural place for snakes...a bureaucratic office...lol.
Well, he's not wrong.
And the Progressives think by taking our guns away they are gonna be safe ha ha ha ha
Reminds of the mailbox...
IIRC there was a car too.

That guy deserves a medal, or at least a little gold, he is from India you know...
I wonder if he does requests ? I would sponsor him to a visit to the White House and Congress, and pay a bonus for a visit to Paul Ryan's house.
This is a really really old story from 2011. Quite creative nevertheless.
Indian cobra is pretty scary. A plumber once found an 8 foot long cobra chilling out in our drainpipe during a hot summer day.
I hope a few of the tax collectin' bastards got bit !
HEADS UP .. not related to posted Topic
There's another major fire in LA. This one is downtown.
Looks like a very big fire - one of the important city buildings, but not a skyscraper.
It's too far to identify the building 18:21 local time here. Sunday night.
I'm sure it was caused by some middle aged white male shooting an assault rifle loaded up with incendiary rounds bought on Craigslist by a homegrown, self radicalized, straw purchaser who used cash for the transaction......
Sure it's not the Black Lives Matter movement just doing some holiday carrolling?
we need this guy to visit every dc lobbyist stat!
I just bought a book on snake charming.
Charm hell, I want the snake to fucking attack and bite on command !!! Better yet, can I train a snake to bite a man right on his dick ?
I could have some serious fun with my attack snake and Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, and Marco Rubio in a room...... I'd set the snake lose, walk and and lock the door behind me....
That was my point, cant have enough tools in the bag... Snakes would be appropriate... How do you fight Snakes? with more dangerous Snakes?
"Better yet, can I train a snake to bite a man right on his dick ? I could have some serious fun with my attack snake and Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, and Marco Rubio"
Yea, well there is a huge problem with that kinda tactic when deployed on politicians, they have alot of practice sucking those appendages dry.
Charmed, I'm sure.
It all began way back with a snake as I recall. Still paying for it . The tax man goeth ?
He was even more unhappy later that afternoon upon being Drawn and Quartered........
There aren't enough snakes...

As my sweet ol' Jamaican landlady would say,
"It's the two-legged snakes that you've got to watch out for!"

V-V
The snake charmer couldn't get the snakes to bite the polictians. They claimed professional courtesy.
u know what
These are king cobras
One can kill 80 ppl
& they swallow other snakes whole for breakfast
(similar to crony capitalists & politicians)
Well, since I am an Indian, and living in India, let me give some additional perspective:
The man in question wanted a certificate for getting govt benefits. He has approached the first rung officer - a Deputy Tahsildar. Normally such officers run the affairs of the community in an area of about 100 sq km - about 50,000 people. Since this man waited and waited for a long time for his certificate, he lost patience and resorted to this protest. And he did get his certificate!
Indians are forced to seek more certificates than any other people in te world. Even a photocopy of a certificate needs to be certified by a government officer!
Photocopy of certificates do have to be Signed By an official. It is normal practice in most country.
Lol!
Before shitting by the railroad tracks .... check for snakes ?
he should have tossed in a monkey a dog a liberal
and for REALLY good measure, a Conservative (party of the pedophiles)
A den of snakes and vipers... Somehow rings a bell, no ?
The snakes were more scared .... than the burocunts ?
They would certainly be in good company in our US public officials office. Im especially reminded of Rahm Emanuel.
Cockroaches. Bags of them.
Mythological Nemesis...Shades of Cleopatra's death wish !
Don't piss off a snake charmer.
brilliant! so quentin tarantino gave us the answer YEARS ago! just need a few black mambas strategically placed in a few briefcases full of $! it's like bug zapoper lights for politicians & bank execs!
Snakes are not poisonous, they are venomous
