RIOTS! - Nubblies.net Forums

StabMaster Arson · 06-18-2003, 02:08 PM

so I'm watching the news and it seems that there are riots going on in Benton Harbor right now. What is the cause for the riots you ask... a black guy ran from the police on a motorcycle, ran into a house and died.

Combat Chuck · 06-18-2003, 02:58 PM

I haven't yet viewed the news, but I'm guessing these riots consist of...around 20 people. Am I right? Am I?

Tough break for the black man.

ninjaface · 06-18-2003, 03:01 PM

Thats not the whole story. Some things have been going on between the police and the people in benton harbor. Some residents have said the motorcycle chase was just one of many incidents of "harassment" by the police force. I'm sure i don't even know the half of it.

The riots dont bother me. What does bother me is what happened to the fire fighters. They were trying to put out some fires that the rioters set and the angry mob threw rocks and bricks at them. Thats fucking stupid.

Heres a section from Yahoo News.

"About 300 people joined in the second night of rioting, which began about 8:30 p.m."

Yeah I was in this room earlier today where I would've sworn CNN said the words "Riot" and "Benton Harbor", but I didn't even bother to look at the screen, 'cause I just assumed that riots would not be taking place in the "Benton Harbor" you and I both know.

Good call ninjaface

i just looked on CNN.com and was reading all bout it. its just stupid. the cops should have been smarter. cops these days are just stupid. thats why they have the camera's in there cars no so if it comes to something like this they can back off and then run the plate number and then put out a warrent for the guys arrest and not risk hurting other people in a high speed chase. i think it was a bad part on the police and they deserve what they have gotten themselves in to

here is the website for those of you who care

I like how they call Benton Harbor an 'economically depressed' town. I like it because it's true.

Fruitacious B · 06-19-2003, 06:42 PM

I think that a riot sounds interesting, and one not to far from home sounds like an opportunity. Anyone care to go to Benton Harbor?

Combat Chuck · 06-20-2003, 01:44 AM

Or we could just save on gas and start one right here in Warsaw. But we need someone to sacrifice themselves for our purpose. Any takers?

StabMaster Arson · 06-20-2003, 01:56 AM

Fruity would probably end up dead in Benton Harbor, so we might as well kill him here to start our riot. I've been itching to loot since '92.

Fruitacious B · 06-20-2003, 02:14 AM

If i sacrifice myself, you guys better have one hell of a riot, because i don't wanna go for nothing.

StabMaster Arson · 06-20-2003, 02:19 AM

it's all about how you die... come up with something creative... something that can be blamed on the man.

do something fall down and puncture your heart because a cop tripped you at least make it look like it... then we can say that he did it on purpose and riot

Saint DH · 06-20-2003, 03:33 AM

Or, you could get a motorcycle, get the police to chase you, and die in a motorcycle accident, then we could riot...wait..

Fruitacious B · 06-20-2003, 05:57 AM

close, how about i get pulled over, and talk shit to him, and have him kick the shit out of me, and then i claim that he did it because im white. Sorta like rodney king.

StabMaster Arson · 06-20-2003, 06:17 AM
