I do not understand the European mindset on these "protests," whether it be the anti-Israeli protests, the Algerian car-burning in Paris, or the Greek anti-police riots.

Look at the videos and you will see fully masked, often helmet wearing "peaceful" protesters marching with weapons, including Molotov cocktails, steel rods, rocks, and sometime guns, yet the police/military simply face them and allow them to do whatever they want.

If the crowd wants to jump up and down on a car, they allow it, including police cars. If they want to break into a store and steal -- an action having nothing at all to do with the "message" of the "protest" -- the police stand by.


In my opinion, snipers should be at the scene, as a minimum with bull barrel .22 rimfires, and "ping" any protester with: a mask overing his/her face, a helmet or who throws any object at a policeman. And possession of a weapon, including a Molotov cocktail, rates an upgrade to 7.62mm in the ten ring.
