Linux Advocates Riot on MS Front Steps

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the grab-your-gas-mask dept.

An anonymous reader sent us a link to a startling article where you can read the horrific account of Linux Users Rioting Outside Microsoft's Silicon Valley Headquarters. The article shows graphic pictures of Linux Users being dragged off by the police, as well as burning of MSN CDs. I thought such violence was limited to Mighigan State basketball fans.

  1. It's no joke by Nrrpf · · Score: 3

    Believe me that riot is no April joke. I did a long travel from Germany just to participate in the riot.

    I am really astonished by the incredible violance applied by US police against peaceful rioters.

    While I was heavily beaten by some heavily armed men - will post detailed GIFs of my bruises later - I am rather sure that I spotted Bill G. observing us with a happy and, frankly, frightening satiesfied grin. Friends of mine reported that he was shouting "Beat 'em! Beat 'em hard!" all the time.

    Uh huh.

  2. Why today ? by pixelbeat · · Score: 3

    Why did they pick today to riot ?
    Surely they know that most people
    will think that news of this will
    be April fools ?
