It's not wise to jump into the dark without first knowing where you will land.
If these are the days of civil uprisings in the truest sense of the word (and I think they may be) then I would surmise that those with experience and a will to fight are preparing, watching the news and making sure they can keep their loved ones safe first before they take to the streets (though better to take to the hills first with the nearest and dearest).
I assume also that when the time comes for "them" to start coming out onto the streets to show their displeasure, water cannon, rubber bullets, sonic weapons and CS gas will be swapped out for live rounds, urban military tactics and everything that comes with that scenario. The atmosphere among the populace at that point will have changed from frustration to outright action, a reaction and a realisation that it is not a life to be lied to, milked like a bovine and treated like a serf.
When that time comes for TPTB It will no longer be about keeping order or enforcing the law but be much more about staying in power against the will of a people that is suddenly baying for corrupted and cynical blood. The switch will be quick and that may disadvantage TPTB for a short time.
Dark times ahead, I can feel it and I hope I am wrong now I can see a pattern as it is frightening and also enraging. What happens in America will happen here if the SHTF, just a matter of time.
I'm not crazy paranoid, I'm just deeply cynical of my government and all mainstream media and I am glad I can read between the lines when everyone else is only now starting to wake up.
I have been awake for over a decade so I'm prepared to bug out at pretty short notice with my family and trusted friends!

This may sound silly to some of you and I have a lot of respect for those Americans protesting at the G20 but if those are the type of people that are going to "have my back" so to speak in a REAL, VERY SERIOUS uprising or protest god help us all. There was a guy on here saying his wife was more manly than many of the men he sees on t.v. including most of the politicians. Well I can't say many of the police are prime physical specimens.......many look like cough potato beer drinkers who've had one too many donuts BUT MY GOD THE PROTESTERS LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF DOPE SMOKING HIPPIES who spend more time behind a computer than out in the sun or dare I say it working out in the gym.
I mean seriously people! I havent seen ANYONE that could handle themselves one on one with even the most out of shape police officer. I see for the most part a lot of hippy looking, computer geeky type 20 year olds. The wind would knock them over if it blew too hard. Again I'm not trying to be mean and if there were twice/three times as many protesters as cops the physical prowess of protesters may not matter all that much. Where are all the intimidating looking MANLY MEN? I think we all need to start to up the physical intimidation factor if we are going to have protests and tea parties around this country.
Many may not agree but you fight fire with fire nowadays.........the government uses fear and we must show them fear. And we can start with physical intimidation. Lets hit the gym people are start eating healthier and getting in shape! Our future depends on it! As much as we all talk about stocking up on ammo, guns, food, etc. What's the point if you can't even fight off an insane riot cop trying to club you to death. Atleast in Iran they man handled a few motorcycle cops. We better be prepared for a lot more than that. Looks like we will also have to invest in some good head phones these days.

The main difference between American and European Protests is that we Europeans are at least trying to strike back against the the establishment! - and we do have a long tradition of protests in the streets and war on the barricades! - that's in our genes!

Wow! what a great example of true ignorant American indoctrination & B.S - and undeniable proof of someone who doesn't know what he's talking about!
As an 6.5 feet & 115kg 'Arctic Ranger Warrior Viking' I eat Sissy Cowboy "Girlie Men" types from Texas for breakfast!
And I give the leftovers to my Polar Bear!
Dude! Your ignorant & arrogant comments are really pathetic!

Take it easy big guy, don't be such a brute.
Certainly you are the exception but don't be so offended because of course I was not referring to all Europeans.
Even you will agree the world is full of pacifists and appeasers.
Heck, there are plenty of those here in the states as well.
Maybe it's due to the diet, maybe it's due to society but it is what it is.
But come on, be honest, I'm sure even you would much rather fight along side a Texan than you would a Frenchie.
Dude! Your ignorant & arrogant comments are really pathetic!
Wait a sec, ignorant and arrogant?
Shouldn't those two cancel each other out?

If I had lived in America in the last ten or fifteen years, I would have already moved overseas a long time ago. As many ex-pat Americans have already done.
Standing in the path of an express freight train and screaming "bring it on" is not smart.
Those men were cowards. They saw a threat coming to their homes and instead of fighting for their rights, freedoms and property, they fled. And you're right, only an idiot would stand in the path of a freight train screaming "bring it on". The smart ones already destroyed the tracks long before it arrived.
So as a small jewish minority they've should fought almost the entire country, lead by madmen who were also backed up by one of the most well-organized warmachine in the history?
Not very smart.
