I never said it's always both sides, I just said there's shared guilt amongst these situations. I can't say this enough...can you name a time where the Police weren't hostile towards protesters? This goes back since time immemorial and I find it highly arrogant or perhaps extremely paranoid that you guys are crying "Police State" now. Do some research, for chrissakes! But what's amazing is there was a time when the protests weren't about a global consortium of the economy, but black people fighting to get equal rights enough to drink out of the same water fountain as white people!

We've come a long way and as Verk said, to say our country is dead or even close to it is not only a stretch but is an ungrateful and shortsighted perspective.

In other words, cheer up, kiddos. The world is not as doomed as Alex Jones says it is.
