The thugs in Spain are rampaging throughout Catalonia, preventing people to vote for their independence. This should come as no surprise to anyone with a brain, considering that Catalonia represents 20% of Spain’s GDP and 30% of exports. To put this into perspective, that’s like California, New York and Colorado all seceding from America. You know damned well if that happened, the union would go ‘Abe Lincoln’ on the people of those states and beat them until their patriotism improved.
But since this is happening live and in color, regularly tweeted and egged on by people who love chaos, acrimonious outrage has taken hold of people — totally grieved by a situation that would quite literally plunge Spain and the EU into an economic crisis that would send markets and economies down the tubes (what tubes?).
Voting has been banned, also fuck firemen.
We thought we had seen it all. The Spanish police battering the Catalonian Fire Service tells us this is sickening. pic.twitter.com/SwMOkm4kjG

At least 350 people were injured in the protests/voting attempts by Spanish coppers.
Comments »Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria called on the Catalan government to call off what she dismissed as a “farce,” as police fanned out across the region to block voting.
The Catalan government has “behaved in an absolutely irresponsible manner, it tried to annul law and justice in Catalonia, and with it democracy,” she said.
