Holy shit is this live?

[Zadrian]

Ukraine knows how to protest. Not like that useless Occupy bullshit.

[Doors]

When the U.S. protests they do it on facebook.

what's this about? for someone barely following news

BRING BACK USSR~~~!@

[Fuggers]

Ukrainian elected leaders shut out the public essentially. The general consensus is that the public wants to join the EU but the leaders want to remains strong allies with Russia.

That's a very short, ignorant answer but that's all i got for ya

[doeda]

Update, they about to charge...soon? watch the feed

[radditsu]

So no ethnic cleansings?




Borrrrring

[Raavak]

What's all the banging? Is that people pounding on things to make noise?

Funny, I will probably be posting this on my FB and acting like it's my own.

[Gaffin 3.0]

it sometimes gets crazy as fuck. just have to watch it at right times

[Raavak]

And is that a police "camp" behind barricades to the top?

[Zadrian]

Someone tossing little mini bombs

[Zadrian]

aka fire crackers lol

[ibso]

Heh, looks like the 4th of July atm. A few mins ago it looked like they were actually throwing some kind of little baby Molotovs.

[JayN]

I keep thinking they're about to fire into the crowd w/e the authorities are shining that green laser into the crows of protesters.

[ibso]

Yeah... I wonder what that actually is. Probably just to scare them.

[skipdog]

oh boy we got fireworks!!!

[ibso]

They really need to get some kind of sling or catapult set up. They're wasting most of their stuff throwing it by hand. :confused:

[Gaffin 3.0]

those are malitov's aka mini fire bombs

[Raavak]

looks like they moved the barricades toward the police, and the police moved back theirs? Whole lot more milling around there now.

[Raavak]

Or maybe my computer was fucked up a minute. Looks normal.

[Verenity]

Definitely looks like they're creeping up, they keep moving their tire barricades up

[ibso]

Anyone know what they're burning up there? The fire is getting pretty intense at times.

[Zadrian]

Looking at the dark smoke - it looks like rubber or something plastic

[Zadrian]

Could also be a car or a pile of tires

[Zadrian]

Honestly, it just looks like a Rammstein concert.

[Verenity]

aaaaaaand their barricade has caught fire

[ibso]

Haha, exactly what I was waiting for. It looked like it was getting too close. Sigh, dumbasses. :(

I've been watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrZcAsPKK74) for the past few days, since the quality is better. Unfortunately they disabled the comments, which would sometimes have people translating what was being said.

Also sometimes this chick will come on and make love to the camera:

Oleg Tiagnibok is the "People's Deputy of Ukraine"...

Unfortunately, I can't fully understand Ukarainian - only every few words.. He's pissed at the presidential regime though - I've gathered that much so far...

[Byrjun]

From this I've learned that "Oleg" is the "John" of Ukraine.

[doeda]

comon....

[Raavak]

Unfortunately, I can't fully understand Ukarainian - only every few words.. He's pissed at the presidential regime though - I've gathered that much so far...Well, the president is going all commie and stuff. The national court actually decreed that protesting is illegal at the moment.

No independent courts = the state gets to interpret the law however they like.

[doeda]

where do you get all these tires?

[Jfertal]

in other videos they have catapults....lol

[Calabee]

since this IS a gaming forum and this isnt posted in off topic... could we say, consider this as a raid being streamed?

Yeah I know the story - I was just trying my best to understand and translate what one of the opposition leaders was saying.

As far as why the protests are occurring, you just have one part of it. The other part is that half of Ukraine wants to be apart of EU, however, Putin paid off Yanukovych to keep Ukraine under Russian influence ($15 billion).

Aside from the removal of the right to protest - they are taking away certain rights of press, speech and putting a lot of restrictions onto people's internet access. Pretty much just trying to break any communication that would make it more difficult for people to fight the regime.

As a matter of fact, people are not allowed to be riding 5 or 6 cars near each other or that will be considered a "protest"

[Zadrian]

Pretty much just trying to break any communication which would make it more possible for people to fight the regime**

Had two thoughts in my mind and put them together lol

[Lron]

letme know if any shit goes down...watching a bunch of tires burning isn't entertaining.

[citizen1080]

Crazy fucking Russians.

[Jenithia]

I feel like any moment I'm about to see Techno Viking

Most of the action occurs on the weekends because a lot of those people are still responsible assholes and go to work.

[Raavak]

Prime Minister has now resigned. Parliament passed laws removing the public demonstration restrictions, waiting on the president to sign. People are moving to have some 200 dissidents released and/or pardoned. Not all the things the people want, but its a start. I don't see the smoke from burning tires anymore... either its a pseudo-truce or they are waiting on the weekend again like was said.

[Raavak]

President is out sick? Who wants to bet Putin recalled him to Moscow for a talking?

[Swish]

Putin recalled him to Moscow for a talking?

1991 called :p

[Raavak]

Eh?

[Raavak]

Russian thugs crucified one of the protests leaders and left him for dead. Nails through his hands. Cut off part of his ear. Cut his face. Nasty stuff.
