Orange to soothe the Reykjavik streets?

buddhismA new protest movement has been started in Iceland, MBL.is reports: the Orange Protesters. A statement from the group says that Orange is a peaceful group of protesters, made up of people opposed to the violence of the last few days.

An Orange representative met with a police representative on Thursday to explain that protesters wearing orange clothes will be peaceful and oppose violence. Orange clothes will be the equivalent of a white flag to mark out peaceful protesters, the movement says.

The group’s statement says that orange is a peaceful symbol of change. The Orange Protesters endorse allowing Icelanders to vote for a new government as soon as possible. The Orange group says it does not support any particular political party, and orange is not a colour associated with any Icelandic party.

The group encourages all peaceful protesters to mark themselves orange and show that they are taking part in a peaceful protest, without violence and without extremism.

    IT IS AN OPTION. BUT WE KNOW THAT THE FURIOUS PROTESTS ARE THE ONE WHO MADE THIS GOVERN OF MAFIA UNDERSTAND THAT ICELANDERS DON´T WANT THEM ANYMORE.

    IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST HANG AROUND PEACEFULLY I DON´T THINK THOSE FOOLS WOULD HAVE NOT PAID ANY ATTENTION… THEY NEED TO SEE PEOPLE BREAKING THE WINDOWS OF THE VERY PARLIAMENT…

    I AM ALL FOR PEACEFUL PROTESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS, BUT ONLY DECENT PEOPLE USE TO LISTEN TO THEM. CRIMINALS AND MAFIA NEED TO STONED BY THE POPULATION IF THEY DON´T RESIGN FROM THEIR POSITIONS. PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE JUSTICE ON THEM, SPECIALLY WHEN THE POLICE PROTECTS THE CRIMINALS AND ATTACKS PEOPLE WITH GAS…

    Oh GUS, came ever into your mind that people could be wrong in their assumption’s about beeing a Mafiosi or a bad person ? People MUST NOT take justice on them ! It is on Justice to do so.

    All working democracies have tools and ways that make polititians hear you, they do not have to follow your point and do not have to take any advice from someone else. If they fail according to your feeling, than ignore them at the next election.

    You will alwyas make a politian act fast when he is threatened by violent mob. But this is far, far, far beyond democracy.

    And the result of the acting might not be any better…

    LOOK FM, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING… THE CASE IS THAT THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN ICELAND. AND, AS IN MANY CORRUPTED COUNTRIES, MAFIA CORRUPTED GOVERNS USE ARMED FORCES TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS… THAT IS WHAY REVOLUTIONS HAPPENS AND THE WHOLE POPULATION OF A COUNTRY GOES OUT REALLY UNGRY AT THEM AND THOSE WHO HELP THEM.

    THIS IS NOT VIOLENCE FOR THE SAKE OF VIOLENCE, THIS IS SURVIVING AND BEING PROTESTING AGAINST MAFIA!!!

    FM, WHAT IS DEMOCRACY FOR YOU?? WAIT TWO YEARS MORE AND LET THE MAFIA CONTINUE TO RULE OUR COUNTRY WITH THE HELP OF THE POLICE??

    WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT ICELANDERS ARE PROTESTING BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD VIOLENT PEOPLE?? OR IS IT BECAUSE THIS GOVERMENT HAVE TOTALLY RUINED THEIR LIVES… TELL ME FM, HOW MANY POLICEMEN DO YOU KNOW THAT HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS DUE TO THE BANKRUPTCY OF THE COUNTRY??? NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!

    THEN YOU SUPPORT AND PROTECT THE MAFIA AND YOU BLAME ICELANDERS OF THREATENING YOU… TELLING THAT YOUR FAMILIES ARE IN DANGER.. WELL, YOU HAVE YOUR JOBS, YOUR MONEY, YOUR HOMES, WHILE THE REST OF ICELANDERS ARE LOOSING THEIR HOMES, JOBS AND CAN HARDLY SUBSIST AND HAVE NO FOOD TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN… AND THEN YOU GO AND YOU THROW GAS AT THEM BECAUSE THE WANT THIS GOVERN OUT AND THEY WANT A JUSTICE THAT NEVER COMES… HAHAHAHAH…AND YOU CALL YOURSELF THE JUSTICE AND THE FORCES OF SECURITY, YOU ARE THE SAME DOGS AS THOSE IN THE GOVERMENT!!!!

    DEMOCRACY IS NOT THE LIES AND FALSE PLAY OF CORRUPTED POWER, DEMOCRACY IS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!! GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD!!!

    WHEN THE REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL MILITARS AND POLICEMEN DID NOT STAND BY THE SIDE OF THE DICTATORS, THEY PUT FLOWER IN THEIR GUNS AND WALKED WITH THE PEOPLE TO PUT OUT THE DICTATURE… BUT YOU IN ICELAND ARE REALLY SHAME-LESS AND YOUR ETHICAL VALUES ARE HIPOCRIT. YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBOURS DESPERATED LOOSING EVERYTHING THEY HAVE AND THEIR FAMILIES STARVING AND THEN YOU GO AND SUPPORT THE SAME DOGS THAT ARE IN THE POWER…

    SHAME-LESS SLAVES!!!

    Although trendy, Orange color in general represents Hinduism.

    It is also used by a hindu extremist group in India (shiv sena)

    I would stick to white like Gandhi did.
