Shutting Down Spain

If only Americans could do it this way.

But no, it's one week day or an hour on Saturday.

If AmeriKans weren't so stoo-pid, they would realize there is much to learn from other peoples

"Spain grinding to a halt as fuel protest takes effect; Truck drivers demand reprieve from high prices" by Ciaran Giles, Associated Press | June 10, 2008

MADRID - Gas stations in the capital and the northeastern Catalonia region began running out of fuel yesterday as an indefinite strike by truckers began to bite. The protest over soaring fuel costs began at midnight Sunday....

The stoppage led to lengthy lines at many gasoline stations across the country as drivers rushed to fill up. Drivers were paying the equivalent of about $7.32 per gallon of diesel yesterday. By contrast, diesel was selling in the United States for about $4.75.

Holy crap!! And 'murkns are complaining?

Truckers also blocked a number of roads around the country, including some leading into the center of Barcelona and the international border with France.

Ya getting the PICTURE, 'murkn truckers?!

PARK that RIG right across the HIGHWAY!!!!!

"We are the ones who move the goods that this country needs to keep working. If we stop because we haven't got the money to buy fuel then the country will stop," Julio Villascusa, president of Fenadismer, the transport association , told Cadena SER radio....

And maybe, just maybe, here in AmeriKa the WAR MACHINE would GRIND to a HALT!!!!

The strike was not expected to have a major effect on city food markets until later in the week.... Development Ministry transport chief Juan Miguel Sanchez said the government will guarantee market supplies.

And just how do they propose to do that? Force?

A strike by fishermen across Spain also protesting fuel costs has entered a second week. News reports said smaller boats that fish closer to the coast have joined the protest, which began May 30.

Yup, and that got ONE ARTICLE of mention in the AmeriKan MSM press.

Don't want to give shit-chewing AmeriKans any ideas, do you, shit rags?

Them and their SELECTIVE COVERAGE of PROTESTS!!!!

Never believe them ever again!!!!

The stoppages are part of protests across Europe against rising prices."

And????? Where is the COVERAGE, MSM?!?
