This is my real name vincent! lol but its not my full name which is travis anthony emmanuel williams which is just too long

ANYWAYS lol

As far as the comments below I agree with you and disagree with you Arch.

Arch you said "The intention was to create propaganda. They knew the laws. They purposely broke the laws. The people were not dancing because they felt like dancing. They were not ignorant when they acted ignorant.They resisted by freezing their muscles when the officers went to handcuff them. They know that this is resistance and the cops would take them down to cuff them." 

Well this is a classic case of  "CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE"

For instance would you dare to say the martin luther king jr. and rosa parks were wrong for what they did in the 60's? I HOPE NOT

they stood up against an unjust law  even though THEY KNEW THEY WOULD BE ARRESTED FOR IT AND THAT BLACKS WERE FOR EXAMPLE NOT ALLOWED TO USE WHITE BATHROOMS BUT THEY DID ANYWAY.

As TJ said we have the right, the duty to disobey any arbitrary law! ohh the irony. So these brave souls committed the form of activism that the founding fathers encouraged us to do. I see no problem with it. And yes maybe it was propaganda on RT's part , However it serves a good purpose! Most Americans didn't realize how far the civil liberties have eroded  until yesterday when they saw this. I serves its purpose for potentially waking those people up. And that's my two cents. Oh and enough hostility guys we can argue but fights like this only separate us in the end. We are more powerful unified.

What is the intended audience here? Is RT broadcast in America? 

 

This was a staged propaganda effort to show to the rest of the world that America is a brutal nation that doesn't even allow people to dance in public. It was paid for by the same people who control the propagandists in our own Mass Media. They know no borders and work to keep us divided against each other and distracted from the real issues.

 

If I really believed that they were doing this on their own, and not being paid to perform for the Mass Media then I might have found some sympathy.

 

They received exactly what they were hoping for, and a check for doing it.

 

That said, I think that people should be allowed to dance there, as long as its not disturbing other people.

I didn't condemn any of you.

 

Now that I have changed to my real, full name can I have respect?

 

BTW: To all who use aliases; I will respect you without question.

Nope. There is no preaching to Vince. I was suggesting you follow common sense, societal precepts. 

 

For the sake of turning the frown on this blog upside down, does anyone have any information on Adam K? His background etc.

what proof do you have Arch??

@vince, i agree with much of what you say but you need not be so abrasive. hurling insults and berating others is not the way. to get respect you have to give it.

 

i do not agree with arch even in the slightest but i give him/her the respect of his/her right to share an opinion.

arch, you may be reading to deeply into the intentions of the protestors. as i stated this was just an exercise in civil disobedience. simple as that.

 

and that is some what of an ambiguous summation to conclude adam is a traitor. what proof do you have? is this an induction based on his media affiliation? if so your premise is fundamentally flawed. i honestly do not know adam from... well, adam, but what little i have sampled I see and feel the spirit of 1776. my contention is do not throw dirt on a clean man. innocent until proven guilty right? right????

no point, kinda like their protest.  they weren't really brutalized either.

Comment by ArchAngel on May 30, 2011 at 2:06pm

[b]I dont see your point of him having his own spot on RT.[/b]

 

This was a propaganda production for foreign media. 

 

The people planned out exactly what happened. Their intention was to create the video exactly as you see it to show around the world. 

 

The intention was to create propaganda. They knew the laws. They purposely broke the laws. The people were not dancing because they felt like dancing. They were not ignorant when they acted ignorant.

 

They resisted by freezing their muscles when the officers went to handcuff them. They know that this is resistance and the cops would take them down to cuff them.

 

A play, played out by people who do not respect our nation.

 

Now, I am not supporting the Liar in Chief. I am not supporting the unjust wars. I am not supporting the unconstitutional pile of bottom wipers they call the Patriot act that was just renewed. I am not supporting the Emergency Powers the President has assumed.

 

But I can and will support my nation. Adam is a traitor.
