5. Their will be no way

Out of this Mess. We will be forced to live with sub living wages of the service sector, and the oligarchs will sale off into the sunset with our pensions and social security. Now what do you think will wind up happening? I keep telling people this is going to continue to get worse till the mess becomes unbearable and the people just SNAP! I don't want it either, but it is what it is.

3. Ukrainian government lifts restrictions on use of water cannons in cold weather

The Ukrainian government has amended the regulations on using special means in protecting public order by allowing police forces to use water cannons against rioters regardless of air temperature, according to the new version of Clause 16 of the rules of the use of special means during the protection of public order endorsed by the government on January 22, 2014.

"Water cannons shall be used by police to curb mass unrest and group violations of public order, counter attacks on buildings, structures, other facilities, and vehicles regardless of their ownership, protect civilians, and defend themselves from attacks and other actions posing a threat to their lives, health, housing, or property," it says, Interfax-Ukraine informed.

The previous version of the rules indicated that water cannons could be used to disperse participants in mass unrest on condition that the air temperature is not below zero degrees Celsius.

4. Yeah, cool, ahhh violence gets what we want, right?

What? You mean the cops would up the violence ante right away? Or even if the cops were somehow crushed, how long would this heady thrill last before more response would counter the initial violence. So, I guess the non-violent variety of protest and change is the only horse I'm backing. However, we do need lots more folks to get their asses on the line.
