COMMENT OF THE DAY: In Iran, students took to the British Embassy like A Flock of (angry) Seagulls…

In a shocking story out of Iran, it seems a group of students laid waste to the British Embassy in Tehran, smashing windows, stealing stuff and replacing the Union Jack with an Iranian flag, among other acts of terrorism protest.  Naturally, riot cops were quick to respond, arriving on scene about an hour after the ransacking started.  No word on whether they’re holding the Black Bloc responsible.

While this certainly leaves a black mark on Iran’s international relations, it would appear to be a small victory domestically.  Rather than protesting against their government, the students of the country backed the Iranian parliament’s bill to evict British diplomats, and even showed up to move their possessions from the premises!  Of course, I’m sure they weren’t coerced or anything…

 

The College of Terror?  Gee, that wouldn’t be located anywhere near Penn State, would it?
