The Canadians here and anyone else paying attention to the G20 riot in Toronto last year shudder at this. Deja vu all over again. Saturday, the cops let the "black bloc" (white kids trashing storefronts) do their thing.

Sunday, the cops responded with the savage beatings/kettling actions.

Seeing it once looks like an awful mistake. Seeing it a second time... troubling.

Police were ordered to stand down as London burned:
...
According to eyewitnesses to the initial riots in Tottenham, police were seen “standing back and allowing rioters to cause havoc,” a trend that continued during subsequent nights before Prime Minister David Cameron ordered 10,000 extra police officers to patrol London last night.
This has now been confirmed by sources within Scotland Yard who said police were ordered to “stand and observe” even as brazen acts of violent crime were committed against both people and private property, a directive which prevented them from arresting any of the troublemakers.
...
The police’s inadequate response quickly led to calls for martial law, curfews and the use of water cannons on streets in England for the first time, a power that Prime Minister David Cameron has now authorized.
Britain’s most widely-read newspaper The Sun ran a poll today which found that two thirds of Brits support the use of rubber bullets to deal with rioters, while 33 per cent supported the use of live bullets.
“Curfews are backed by 82 per cent, using tear gas got 78 per cent support and Tasers 72 per cent,” states the report.

A combination of the dim mists of time and deja vu. Yeah.

really, it wasn't awful, it was just incredibly reminiscent of the 90's.

I think I'm experiencing Deja Vu, from my own experiences.

It's deja vu all over again.

Damn, that hallway is longer than the Indiana Jones warehouse. Let's hope this video has no sequels.

Technically Temple of Doom was a prequel.


I guess you weren't conflating your "Let's hope this video has no sequels" comment to the Indiana Jones reference. My bad. Just so we're clear though: technically Temple of Doom was a prequel.

Interesting that they held this in a church, if I'm interpreting the poster in the background correctly. (I think Lord Stephen of Fry might have pointed this out in Twitter too, I feel deja vu upon reading that poster.)

Watching this gives me deja vu that I've had this nightmare before but from the perspective of one of the riders.

Deja vu x 1000.

This clip parodies a scene in the movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It may also be a reference to the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law episode “Death by Chocolate.”

In case someone else was having deja vu, its based on the ending from a movie. Won't spoil it, but hint: Its a Brad Pit movie.

Deja Vu (plus) Quantum Leap (plus) Groundhog Day = Source Code*

But seriously, I don't get the title of the movie? It has what to do with "source code"? I know that's what they're calling the machine that does whatever it does that, but why?

And is he actually going back in time? Or is it just like a "Matrix" simulation he's popping into?

* = for some reason it wont let me do a "plus sign"

I'm having Deja Vu of Groundhog Day.

ZING. but srsly, I'm pretty proud of myself on this one. Feel free to build on it guys.

College Humor is hitting that point where production values go up and the funny goes down. Could they be more formulaic? Lately clicking on a College Humor link tends to result in a feeling of deja-vu.
