Shocking: ROME Burning to the Ground in mob arson, riot, looting.. sheer chaotic Pandemonium

Not even 1% of Rome will burn anything "to the ground". Youre being over-excited for nothing. Rome is a very, very large place. And a few videos of a couple areas show little. Quite the uneducated-exaggeration there friend.

Why does anything have to physically burn down for everything to burn down?

Society is what is burning down. Not infrastructure.

It can get larger. It will get larger.

Keep on watching.

Youre right my friend. But the OP meant it is literally "burning down to the ground"...and probably watching it on comptr or tv. Im sure he wasnt speaking metaphorically.That was my point.

It would have been different if he meant the metaphor. We are all sure the entire city itself is just fine. A block or two out of thousands and mile after mile and suburbs of Rome certainly are fine. I think the tread title is irresponsible reporting. Some readers will think they can see the flames across the ocean. And thats not happening...nor will it.

Peace

Nothing is accidental at this point my friend. The OP may have had different motives, but it still fits a larger metaphorical picture.

But that's just my view.

"ROME Burning to the Ground"

Watched video, saw the "RussiaToday" Logo, sat forward and saw....nothingk of the sort.

No "ROME Burningk to the Ground" ...nyet, nyah....no at all. Saw police throwingk gas bombs into crowd....white smoke = burning in Soviet Russia?? (Ooops, reverted to disgraced former comedian Yakov Smirnov voice, my appppollllogies....)

"In Soviet Russia, YOU burn Fire!" (Ha, Ha...you laugh now. Is the rrrule).

... in mob arson....

"Again, in Soviet Russia, loots mob YOU!" " Ha, Ha...." "What, nothingk??"

(serious-eslyies, I do not know what I mean, anymore...someone please get me gig....please? I am Yakov Smirnov, funny no?)

.....sheer chaotic Pandemonium

Once played in the "Pandemonium" Bombed big tyme....do not know why, for. Perhaps Soviet Russia, is to blame eh?

Im hoping this doesnt happen to the occupy wallst in USA. Destroying public property solves nothing but create an uproar. What the people should do in the case of shtf is charge in to wallstreet and have a good beat down.

Strange; how we have seen and heard nothing about this in the media in Australia but when the POTUS goes for a media paddle in Gulf of Mexico its flashed all round the world and in every TV, radio and newspaper in every place worth broadcasting to.

strange that, one gets the feeling someone considers that its not good for us to know about these protests in Europe and other places

I didn't see this in the local news. Did anyone die or get hurt?

What bothers me about this is that its only at the early stages.

A tv channel said that something like 93 cities have these demonstrations going on even in china.

Nothing is getting better for any ordinary people. Wages have stagnated or declined but the cost of living is getting higher and the infrastructure, set to act as a safety net, has huge great holes in it for masses of people to fall through - all done by our own governments against us because we paid our taxes but those taxes were wasted elsewhere or misappropriated.

Its the fact that we now have a huge proportion of our youth without prospects. This has percolated through to swell the numbers of older people who have lost their jobs as well as older people who can't find a job. Unless these people are found constructive work, they will remain disillusioned, disappointed and in debt. The only thing this will produce is fury especially as we have identified now many ofwhom are responsible for this financial squeeze that has deliberately wrecked numerous countries.

In both my parents and grand parents time the public were so filled with awe for their politicians absolutely nothing was questioned. Then slowly scandal with people like Profumo opened the door just a chink to the public till now its off its hinges! The change needs to be in the calibre of the people and the governing rules of the institutions that run this planet. The press demonizes the public for demonstrating, the courts deliverately protect the police, lest their own little gravy train gets derailed but we all know who is really accountable and soon the protests will reach the ones at the top. The soon the better in fact because it will ultimately save lives.

I have one thing to say to the police who love to swing their batons and tazers. You want to remember what happened to the horse in Orwells1984 you aren't anything other than ordinary public actually working for a private company and wearing a uniform. Face up to the fact you will end up in the nackers yard when you are injured or old - no different to anyone you wallop with your nasty little stick. These people have a legal right to protest and you should protect them against the exploitation that has caused the reason for their demonstrations. How come your fraud department seems to do so little work.

Is there high unemployment in Rome

If the government closed or cut services it gonna get worst right?

i hate to be an off topic jerk
but you're thinking of Animal Farm.
same writer though ;D

back on topic, i too thought this meant further developmentsd in Rome.
i see where people are coming from with the metaphor thing
but somehow i think the OP was more in for the sensationalism...

I don't think riots ever are logical partner.

Over the top OP.

Ha ha, I was watching that movie "They Live" a couple of nights ago. Ex wrestler Roddy Piper stars as a down on his luck drifter who finds sunglasses that, when worn, reveal we humans are surrounded with and ruled by zombie-like alien elite. No one believes him of course and most are blindly happy in their consumer driven existence. Business and government have sold us out to the aliens for the almightly dollar and.... well you'll have to watch the movie to find out what happens.

You're not a jerk I got it wrong I'd hate to see anyone in uniform who didn't already know Animal Farm hunt through for the wrong book

I do suspect some of the governments are aware they are close to serious riots the heat turns up on this financial mess every day and unless some fair means is found of putting things right immediately, this will boil over. What is interesting is that people are united in their fury ev en if they don't articulate it clearly when interviewed and its this union across all ages that should worry those who have caused this and their puppets.

I would rather see a updated one.. This one is old and from the first day(s) and was posted here ages ago already.

Don't be sucked in and suckered.
This is eye witness testimony:

So yesterday I went down to Rome with my friend Fabio who, with some friends (mostly economy students) has recently launched this website: www.monetaproprieta.it... Fabio had made a cool sign with a couple of quotes by Auriti and Modigliani (two of Italy's foremost, veteran seigneurage experts). We took the underground to the Repubblica square, where the march was scheduled to start. There, we met up with Domenico and Silvia, two common friends of ours. It was a sunny, cloudless day and we marched in a massive, joyous and singing crowd along the intinerary which went from la Repubblica square to the San Giovanni square - where all the day's speeches were supposed to be held. San Giovanni square is traditionally the place where all Rome's protest marches end (and where huge, free rock concerts are held on May1, the Workers Day).

To make a long story short, we had a jolly good time (while handing out leaflets for the "monetaproprietà" website), it was a totally peaceful march, old grandmothers waving from their balconies, brass bands and much music playing - all in all a superbly calm and happy atmosphere during the entire walk (which lasted from 2pm to about 5:30pm). I need to make it perfectly clear that we did not see:

- ONE SINGLE burning car
- ONE SINGLE act of violence
- ONE SINGLE broken glass/window - or much less destroyed banks
- ANY hordes of 'Black Blocs' - but for a few kids (15/20) with covered faces which were roundly booed by the crowd as they passed by.

Are you getting the picture? I SAW NO ACTS OF VIOLENCE - AT ALL - IN OVER 3 and 1/2 HOURS, WALKING ALONG THE ITINERARY WHICH WENT STRAIGHT TO SAN GIOVANNI. I SAW LOTS OF IDLE POLICE FORCES - BUT NO ACTS OF VIOLENCE.

As we got near the San Giovanni square, however, this is the scene we encountered:


So basically, the access to the San Giovanni square was blocked (by countless police vehicles) - and that's where our day ended. We just had to go home. Of course, we hanged around in that street for a while and tried to get into San Giovanni - but to no avail. Some rather odd individuals were walking around telling everyone that there had been terrible fights in San Giovanni square and that we had better abandon any idea of trying to enter the square..."for our own safety". So, like good and sensible citizens that we are, this is what we eventually did: we went home. Earlier, my girlfriend had called my on my cellphone advising me to do the same - since she was watching TV and had seen all sorts of horrifying mayhem (more about that later - my girlfriend has some true gems to tell regarding what TV broadcasted LIVE...)

This is just about all I have to say about my personal experience in Rome, on October 15 2011.

But I have been looking at the absurd imagery that the media has released. Stay tuned.

These people will not achieve anything. In fact i believe these ,suspiciously, well organized people were payed. Too de-rail a peaceful protest that was helping bring to light the corruption of the big banks, mutiinternation companies and the governments of the world who lay in bed with them.  If you think its time for this form of protest then your eyes are not open wide enoug yet.
