U.S. Government shuts down.

[eppie]

Meanwhile, the police shot and killed an unarmed women that was fleeing from them after she ran into a guard rail near the Capitol Building. Guess this is a good sign of what we can expect when us peasants get too close to the palace. I hate to see what their reaction is going to be like when the peasants revolt one day - and that day IS going to come. It's just lovely to know that our supposed cash-strapped state cant provide services to the poor, yet they are still very willing and able to murder someone. Following this...

House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) took to Twitter to thank the police. “We all owe the Capitol Police a debt of gratitude for their work every day; no finer examples of professionalism & bravery,” Boehner wrote.
On the House floor, legislators rose for a round of applause after Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) praised Capitol Police for providing protection for the Capitol complex.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) spoke after the round of applause, telling the police force, “We really appreciate it.”
The chamber also stood and applauded for the staff of the House Sergeant at Arms.

I think I'm going to be sick. These oligarch sociopaths and their corporate sponsors need to be sent to the fucking gallows and put in their rightful place: the dustbin of history. Jesus....

This sounds sickening indeed. (I haven't read the story in the news over here).
But a revolt by the citizens? Forget it; there is too much on TV to have time to go and revolt.
