Mexico - Truck Rams Riot Police Over Gas Hike - Polidicks

[video]https://twitter.com/syndicalisms/status/817912042845782016[/video] I haven't found anything official online yet. They were showing it on the news this morning though. Apparently they got away as well. They are still looking for them.

Those fucking mob mentality morons cheering him. What exactly did this accomplish, other than giving the finger to the man by running over people who played no part in the gas price hike?

some more footage, including aftermath and protesters throwing stones at the police: [url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=347_1483866032[/url]

This is how you turn into them carrying automatic rifles on them instead of shields.

What the hell caused the gas hike? Government tax, mandate, what was it?

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;51641020]What the hell caused the gas hike? Government tax, mandate, what was it?[/QUOTE] Deregulation of gas prices, which the government were keeping low, so that they follow international standards.

damn that looked nasty

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;51641020]What the hell caused the gas hike? Government tax, mandate, what was it?[/QUOTE] I blame OPEC.

[QUOTE=Chonch;51641734]I blame OPEC.[/QUOTE] Just gonna leave this here... [QUOTE=Chonch;51452963]It'll be back down next week. OPEC and the market price of oil haven't been tied to anything in reality for quite some time now.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Chonch;51456816]<$40 by Q2 2017. I'll toxx it when I come up with a good clause.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;51641702]Ah, deregulation strikes again.[/QUOTE] The Mexican government were subsidising fuel. That's not a good thing long term.

[QUOTE=Morgen;51641765]Just gonna leave this here...[/QUOTE] [Quote] Never mind stupid stuff like huge inventories that continue growing; oil is gonna rise again; just like the South, right? I love the way oil shills are getting on Bloomberg or CNBC and talking about OPEC like it's relevant to anything, and suddenly all the day traders stop chewing their cud and stampede to buy up oil futures. [/quote] I'm not wrong. OPEC has about as much power over the value of oil as Trump does over the value of Boeing. If I wind up dead wrong about Q2 though I suppose I'll cover a tank of gas for the next three people I see and post the receipts in my RC thread. Toxx me on that if you're so concerned.

I'm sure it can't be that hard... It's YELLOW. It has a bunch of advertisements on the doors too lol

NPR didn't say anything about Mexican subsidies on gas when they talked about it a few days ago. They said what caused the price hike was OPEC ceasing its high production coupled with the peso value falling like a brick. That and the fact that when there is gas to go around, it's instantly purchased and drained from the stations for fear it being more expensive tomorrow, creating more scarcity and thus price hikes.

Maybe we should do this here in NJ since we also just got a gas tax hike.
