MMORPG Nerd Faces Reality

Seem like casting Blizzard on cops with nightsticks doesn’t work as well in real life.
Please post your funny idea on the comments.
=D

Nah man I know that guy he said he totally would’ve pwned those noobs but they caught him without his good gear [he was only wearing cloth] and without his buffs. Plus he was speced for magic resist not melee.
Why are they holding hands?
Damn vanish didn’t work again!
Psh, he should just pop Divine Shield and run away. Problem solved.
What did he drop?

with all the newly found mainstream acceptance, and even deeming of nerds as “cool”, it’s about time nerds got a good beatdown (and maybe spitball to the head).

WEAK.

This is me!!
Seriously, though. This was during the FTAA (Free Trade Agreement of the Americas) demonstration in Miami in ‘03. I was a “legal observer” (i.e. observing to make sure that the cops weren’t beating people in illegal ways) for the National Lawyers Guild. The nice clothes were to show that I wasn’t a protestor… but after hours of on-off tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets (the latter with some sort of powder, to show who was hit), the clothes got really fucked and dirty after a whole day of demonstrations. Oh ya, I had to take off my contacts and put on my glasses after they started pepper spraying people.
Long story short, a fight broke out between the protestors and the cops. Of course the cops won that battle, and the protestors ran off down Biscayne Blvd, with the police following us. We tried to set up blockades with trash bins or steel road blocks, but it didn’t even slow the police down. Anyways, after running for what seemed like 2 km in a straight line, I was like “we’re all going to get cut off and arrested.” So I took the hand of a friend and got out of there down some small alley. Some cop was like “get back here”, so I started walking faster, pretending not to notice. When he was like “don’t make me chase you,” I definitely moved quicker. He then ran after me, and was easily able to over-take me, being that I was just another white liberal, and he was a well-trained cop. I tried to run back to the rest of the demonstration, but two other cops cut me off. So I had three cops all around me and a wall behind me (see picture). I tried to run away, but the first cop (as you can see) grabbed my arm and gave me a couple of warning wacks to the hips: enough to hurt and cause a welt, but it didn’t do any lasting damage.
At that point I was so like “I’m so going to get my face thrown in the dirt, tagged, and thrown in jail for some hyped-up charge. I threw up my arms and repeated “ok, ok, ok”. Luckily there was lots of cameras and even local press around. The cop sorta had to let me go, as it doesn’t look good to beat up an office worker looking kinda guy who didn’t commit any real crime other than being inside a demonstration.
I have been arrested at protests 2 other times in my life. It’s really boring having to wait in jail while the wheels of justice slowly turn. You feel like, “god, just give me a freakin newspaper or video game or something to keep me occupied while this goes on.” It’s incredibly boring, but otherwise ok. I’ve met lots of wonderful other activists, and I wouldn’t trade those relationships or experiences for anything.
I was a little mad when I got the email from the friend. I figured that someone got a picture of me playing DOTA in my underwear and posted it. At least this is something that I’m not totally embarrassed about. Ya, I’m a dork, but I’m a dork trying to create a social revolution.
I bet you Andy made this…
2 thumbs up for Ryan and thanks for sharing the story behind the image. Good luck on your revolution.
