RIOT!!! The Unbeatable High

[BallzDeep9]

Rioting, the unbeatable high!!
Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow...
And it's all gonna blow right now

Now you can smash all the windows that you want!
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good..
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking people's ass!

(Sing Along!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O69MTDdhHDk

Get your kicks in quick
They're callin' the National Guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car!

Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly, dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don't get caught

Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don't fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun...

Tomorrow you're homeless - Tonight it's a blast

George Floyd and Derek Chauvin once worked overlapping security shifts at the same nightclub

Not sure if you guys seen it but seems they been clashing before until floyed died.

Dead Kennedy's...nice. my favorite album by them too.

Chauvin's wife has immediately filed for divorce. Smart lady. Domestic violence is two to four times higher in families of LEOs than the regular population .

Fortunately they don't have kids.

yeah this is gonna come out, after investigation .. Crowds don't wanna wait of course.

I posted this last night after watching 2+ hours of RIOT on local TV - Seattle, Portland, Oakland, of course Minneapolis, Atlanta, NYC

Rioters smashed into a Louis Vuitton Store, running out w/ those expensive handbags.. Then TV caught them smashing.. a ROLEX store. Wow. Good money $$ there! Funny how.. both the Apple store, and Microsoft stores - huge plate glass windows, looked like reinforced safety glass. Would Not Break!! Guys hurling rocks, bricks, concrete chunks and those windows HELD FIRM!!!

Here's another GREAT take on the video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WBWT1gg9sI

The Barricades spring up from nowhere...
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now

The raging mob has lost its nerve...
There's more of us but who goes first?
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they've won

It's all over but not quite,
The pigs have just begun to fight.
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can RIOT all that they please!!

Yes. I SAW the Dead Kennedys LIVE a few times around 1983...

There has been rioting in Chicago, although not as much as I had anticipated.

While standing in line at the grocery an hour ago, the people in front of us were broadcasting a bit of local news: one of our 3 Walmart Supercenters ended up with smashed windows and was closed for business. It's very close to us but we have been avoiding it.

I have scoured the internet for news about this. NADA. This is so typical of The Land of Lincoln. No one here even cares to know about the 1908 race riots that shook (and completely humiliated) this burg. So why bother themselves with this? Black folks are all happy here, everyone knows that's (Bullsh*t). If people got caught in the act I'm sure their heads were smashed in. Cops here have a rural mindset and they would lynch a body and get away with it.

I'm actually a bit impressed that anyone dared to cast a 'vote' with a brick. The Waltons certainly don't give a damn. They'll just make more money after the damages are tallied.

But the absence of news reporting.... Damn. I've got to get out of this town.

I had my first baby in 1986 and I was 29. Lol

You're a silly character, ballz. Posts like this one make me think you're right on the money, though. And yeah, i saw them ONCE when I was ~11. I used to spend my lunch money on albums and concerts. Saw LOTS of cool shows by starving. Thanks for the post.

Reminds me from a pre-DK songs. old song but still just as relevant today as it was in 1968.

Written about Vietnam in 1966
.

The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We're takin' over
Come on!
