Breaking away from Bizzaro news:
CCTV Footage showing 3 or 4 Golden Dawn members being murdered, obvious warning ahead of time that it is distressing.

It's not a nice world where you would prefer the world of 5 minute ago when people were nailing their balls on the road. Any other news on Greece?

I... What? Just, what? Is any cause worth such a feat?
Tons of things. Actually practical things where it would cause a meaningful difference, though? That's a different story.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Indeed. And had it been a gay artist protesting the new directions it would have been a bit more... Directly followable metaphor/logic.

From the British Legion's website, here. Sickening.

A fellow I know said that he half expected the Queen to be dressed as a giant poppy next year.

I've never understood why killing people is seen as something to aspire to.

Is it bad that my first reaction was "finally"? If there's open violence, it should at least be directed the right way...

seriously dude what.
(sadness about open violence) + (happiness about Golden Dawn getting violated) = net happiness

This, of course, negates all sense of justice and equality and other such nonsensical stuff.

He didn't say "finally there's open violence", he said "finally the open violence (that is already happening) is aimed at the Golden Dawn". I don't think any murders are something to be happy about but when the victims are people who belong to am openly Nazi party which have shown no qualms when it comes to murdering, assaulting and terrorising people who oppose them or offend their sensibilities, I have a really hard time feeling sorry for them on any more than an intellectual "lives lost" level.

It is quite hypocritical though, as well as lowering yourself to their level.

I also find it quite hard to believe that this was open violence as opposed to a very specific targetting of the Golden Dawn, which in itself was mind-blowingly stupid. "You're standing outside a Golden Dawn office late at night chatting, you must be a sympathiser!"

Yes the GD are bastards, but to suggest that every member of the former party is willing to commit violence in order to get their way? Bit much.

All those connected to the stabbing were already arrested - these guys weren't involved in the high end stuff. True, chances are they were right nobs. But they were just killed. I cannot stress just how disturbing it is when people express happiness when someone is killed - be it a terrorist or a fascist or whoever else lost in the moral decrepit heaps. Humanity loses its only good qualities every time it happens.
