Modern urban rioting

Is rioting, street fighting, sports violence, mobs, tear gas and rubber shot a thing where you live?
I think thee is a big difference between parts of Europe where street battles occur almost weekly in larger cities and places like the US or Asia, where it is a big thing?
How do you perceive street violence?

Can you state your geographical area and the events and groups involved?

>Zürich, Switzerland
>small to mid scale football violence occurred almost bi weekly, due to recent relegation of the club this kinda ebbed a bit. Usually just some thrown bottles and rocks, and some tear gas and rubber shot.
>illegal open air parties traditionally end with a tear gas barrage
>antifa demos go militant every couple months, graffiti, smashing windows and burning trash bins. Every year or so there is a big one, with a million plus in damages.
>Kurds go bonzo every now and then
>used to have large scale street battles around 1st of May, almost part of the local folklore
>had large youth movement in the 80s, tons and tons of street battles
>both police and oppo side keep to ROE, few injuries, no KIA.
>It is seen as a nuisance, and breaking of the peace and the democratic rules
>but also understood as a last resort of rebellion against an over regulated world where the common man is powerless.
>if you grew up innacity it is likely that you at least have thrown bottles on the police during your puberty, even if middle class child.
>once you grow older you see it as shit behavior

There was a cabbie protest in Lisbon, against Uber drivers. They rocked some cars, did a little brawling and clogged the roads. It was big news for like a day.

We also have some soccer trashings, but from what I've read, not as great as those in the USA and we don't have that clear hooligan stereotypes compared to the UK.

Hooligans are primitive racial purists, their ranks made out of naive teenagers exploited by commercial sport companies to generate profit and strengthen brand recognition.

>racial purists,
Some are, many are not, Here we have black hools, while the next town FC support is racist.
>fights on every derby

>Cleveland, OH USA
There used to be a lot of street violence here during the '60's. It was one of the big centers of unrest during the civil rights movement. Now there are very few riots, even after the Cavaliers won the NBA national championships actual violence was very small, just a few burned cars or whatever, then there was a gigantic party. I don't think there was anything when the Indians lost, either.

I havent heard any news about Trump riots in Cleveland, despite Cuyahoga County being a big blue area.

My perception if it is that riots, etc are mostly unavoidable in a big city, where tensions can be the highest due to larger concentrations of people who are more affected by rule of law than e.g., rural populations.

I also don''t think that police suppression of protests is a big issue in the US, which is something I've been looking into A LOT after the accusations of police brutality surrounding the DAPL protests. They tend to do their job appropriately, and police presence benefits everyone involved.

Those are all aging balding adult men, probably in their midlife crisis.

I wouldn't call them hooligans.

Then you do not know much about football violence, because thats what a firm looks like.

I believe you mean soccer.

>Americans cannot into sports violence
why?

They can and they do. They have even raped people using sports as an excuse.

this is what it looks like around here on a high risk match day.

Examples?

At my college there was a big football win after which there was a big gang rape on the streets.

Shit was disturbed.

You say it like there's total chaos in zürich every now and then. You don't now what is street violence, my friend.

>last real riot in whole country happened in 1990, but couple dozen drunk anarchist try to larp one twice or trice a year
grow up, fucking savage subhumans

>Sydney, Australia

What fucking street violence, we"ve had like two riots in a decade

>Prague

Never ever have i seen an actual riot. At worst there are demonstrations with a lot of shouting (mostly between lefties and righties) and some hooligans who throw few bricks into shop windows, but even that is just rare.

>Can you state your geographical area and the events and groups involved?

Detroit had a major riot in 1967 but even back then, rioters knew not to even attempt to take it into the surrounding suburbs, as Americans literally dream of defending their homes when the shit hit the fan and the same it true today, where BLM limit their rioting and protesting to (well insured) commercial areas, lest they get shot dead by angry homeowners.

On a related note; my mom was 7 months pregnant with me and on Monday morning in the midst of the Riot, she cluelessly picked up two of her ding-bat girlfriends and they all blithely drove down to the Continental Corned Beef meat packing plant in the heart of the city where they worked.

When they arrived, they noticed that the parking lot was strangely empty and then they saw the owner and plant manager on the roof of the building armed with rifles, who yelled at them to get their dumb asses back home, as couldn't they see the god damned niggers were burning the city down…

Thats like 50 years ago. Sounds very peaceful then in therms of social unrest.

>plant manager on the roof of the building armed with rifles, who yelled at them to get their dumb asses back home, as couldn't they see the god damned niggers were burning the city down…

Based men

Americans are sheeple, who complain whenever people defending their freedom block the roads for a second.

Ausfag living in Nipland. Rioting isn't big in either of those places, although I suspect for different reasons

>bi-weekly soccer riots
Why are Europeans such subhuman nigger apes?

Because we got Niggers only recently and where forced to do our own chimp outs before that. And football rioting is nice rioting, a couple beer with the friends at the pub, a good game, fresh air at the stands, see different cities and fuck them up.

>he cluelessly picked up two of her ding-bat girlfriends and they all blithely drove down to the Continental Corned Beef meat packing plant in the heart of the city where they worked.
kek you've posted about this before and not only on Veeky Forums, right?

what college do you go to?

>rioting
Step aside lads, NI coming through

How do you feel about rioting in NI? I know it is national past time, but how is it perceived?

Some are digusted by it, mostly older people, women and the wealthy
Most people don't really think about it since it's so common it's considered normal
A lot of young lads are fond of it, and enjoy rioting. Those that don't feel like risking it enjoy watching them.
The media ofcourse is also disgusted by it
Personally im of the opinion that's its ok when we do it, but when the people we don't like do it, then it's wrong and they should be punished

>Personally im of the opinion that's its ok when we do it, but when the people we don't like do it, then it's wrong and they should be punished
This.

Should be NI's national slogan tbqh.

mfw that last bit

>new zealand
I've never seen or heard of any, we had some big protests in the 80s because of rugby tests in south africa but apart from that not really. We win most of the time so there's no point.

Not even being ironic, prods are sub human scum and should be pushed into the sea

Victory riots are a thing, you know.

for subhumans maybe

Here in the US there are laws about blocking roads. Drivers have the right to run you over if you are blocking traffic, and most states have specific protections against people trying to sue the driver. Also here a lot of the time demonstrations move to block streets, they turn violent. For example, in my city, the last BLM bs protest we had tried to block a major road. Argument broke out between a driver, and some of the protesters. Ended with the protesters jumping on the dude's car and trying to bash his windshield in and pull him out of the car. He pulled out his handgun and shot and killed two of them. Totally fine, legally.

where is yfw?

Would you riot anons if you belived the reason for rioting was justified and sensible?
Why do you think it would help you achieve your goal?

but still
>destroying public or private property
>sensible

>he still believes the peaceful protest meme
goodest goy

>destroying public or private property

Only way to catch attention. Every protest or movement needs pressure or the threat
of violence to get people to listen.

No not really.

Either that or massive attention grabbing. People just won't listen peaceful protests because the become part of the scenery.

It's very rare in the US outside of Black chimp outs. The closest I've actually seen to a sports hooligan thing would be when my college won an important football game and it was basically just a bunch of drunk kids lighting couches on fire.

Here's a pic of said event. There was no violence or anything but riot police was on scene to disperse everyone.

What is it about sports that sends folks into rape and vandalism?
Seriously, someone explain the rationale.

it´s not sports, just soccer which is tribalist as fuck

In Constantinople they had horse racing riots, and when I was young, we had Ice Hockey riots almost weekly.

GDR's Monday demonstrations are an example of a successful peaceful mass protest for regime change.

And the regime was weak as fuck by that time.

They had a mechanized Division in town just in case, and they have been arresting and beating people for over a month.

>"Defending freedom"
>Shutting down civilian roads and hassling random citizens instead of government officials.
Pick one. I'd be a lot more sympathetic if they were targeting politicians and cops instead of making life difficult for random people.

>kek you've posted about this before and not only on Veeky Forums, right?

Yeah, I miss my mom.

>Sounds very peaceful then in therms of social unrest.

Yeah, but nah it was pretty violent.

My dad said the Michigan NatGuard had quad .50 halftracks parked on 8 Mile Rd....

>I'd be a lot more sympathetic if they were targeting politicians and cops

Great way to get fucked though and getting certain agencies on your back.

>Noreg
Unfortunately no, I don't know what happened to barbarism. I guess it's too high trust.

>GDR's Monday demonstrations are an example of a successful peaceful mass protest for regime change.

Sure but there, you had virtually the entire population against the government.

>Drivers have the right to run you over if you are blocking traffic,

Pedestrians always have the Right of Way.

I'm from south central los Angeles.

As you may well know, I lived through the '92 Rodney riot, which was tough as one of the last white households in my part of the city. The streets weren't safe at all, let alone for whites. My father had a colt .45 and he gave my brother a 12g over under and gave me a Remington 30 ought. We just held up in the house until it blew over.

Similarly, my mother had to be escorted to school by the Army during the Watts Riots in her era.

Wow I wish I lived in a free, tolerant, and multicultural society like Switzerland

>Thailand.
>Gubmint gets unpopular
>Minor apeshit.
>Army asks the king for permission and just launches a coup to get rid of government.

I'm from Cleveland and everyone always expects us to riot but we never do. The only real riots we've had were the 68 race riots which every major City had.

...

As far as I can tell, Houston has had precisely three riots, and the last one was in 1978.

Apparently we just don't give a shit down here.

Estonia here, we have an autistic aversion to large scale public disturbances. The bydlo chimpout of 2007 was a watershed moment in that nobody believed something like that could even happen here.

The worst that happened was a bunch of drunk immigrants throwing rocks. Nothing other than that.

>US
Honestly, not really. Riots are fairly rare, although the last two years have been exceptions. Usually, if they happen it's because a sports team won (see: Chicago Cubs) or because of niggers (see: BLM anything). The most recent riot that I can think of that actually had absolutely nothing to do with either of those were the Seattle Riots in 1999. We don't usually take our violence to the streets. If we get the hankering for some ultraviolence we take it to the streets of some irrelevant country.

Hey, bro. Eastern Euro here. I've had this idea of moving to Prague, I was really fascinated when I visited last time. I've a question though: Would you recommend it? Is Prague actually good to live in, or is it just a tourist destination?
Thanks bro, I love you guys.

is there designated place for rock throwing?

Quite comfy to live in.
Shitton od jobs and opportunities, beautiful and not that expensive.

Thanks a buch, and I believe Czech is a must, right? How difficult would you say learning Czech would be to a Slav?

It's not a must - you can do with english and learn Czech on the way.
Depends where exactly you're from I guess, for example Russian is closer than Ukrainian in terms of learning. And you will always be able to just slightly adjust your native words to make some sense in Czech.

post some nice photos, lads

So whats fighting the riot police like?

Not on highways

Member the old school urban rioting?

>Norfolk, VA

Haven't had a riot for as long as I've been alive. Been a couple BLM shit protests but otherwise pretty calm. Probably because of the giant ass fucking naval base in the middle of the city. So many sailors so most people are fairly conservative and not prone to chimpouts. I think the BLM people shut down the interstate for half an hour until the cops showed up, then they just peacefully left

Richmond, on the other hand....

Pointless mostly. Without petrol bombs you're very unlikely to do any damage. A lot of it is simply throwing bricks. You might take 4/5 cops out of action but without an organised attack or massively superior numbers, you'll never break the wall

Does it feel like being in a pre-gunpowder battle?

No because you'd be a utter retard to get close to the cops, that's how you get grabbed and arrested.
Unless their all in their vehicles, then you smash shit off them and try not to get run down.
You keep your distance, chuck heavy things at them, find cover, and keep an eye on what the rest of the crowd is doing
It's mostly just a bit of fun

>annual may day protest, regular anti-police brutality riot and follow ups, student protests

Malta?

>ft worth, Tx

No. Apes went wild a few months back in Dallas, but other than reruns of COPS. Nothing out of the ordinary happens here. Most of the negro types are pacified, as you get closer to Dallas though it gets more dangerous.

I can't think of a single riot that's ever occurred here, we're far to homogeneous and respectful for that nonsense.

>Edinburgh, Scotland

Sod all, you occasionally get some football related violence but that's more common in Glasgow, political people of all stripes are pretty docile and the cops are trained not to beat the shit out of crowds of people holding placards like sometimes happens in other parts of the UK. That being said, there's a fuckton of facist and anti-fascist activity a short train ride away in the north east of England, although the cops there are massively uptight about preventing us from even coming near each other. The only proper black blocs we get are in London and the majority of political violence is usually individual incidents where some nutter has a go at random people on the street for speaking Arabic. Again, it's pretty infrequent, but the liberals here are fucking spineless and won't do shit to actually stand up to the fascists even in a climate of increasing incidents of xenophobic violence.
