An angry mob vented its rage against East London hipsters on Saturday night by attacking a cafe and scrawling “scum” on the window. But the establishment wasn’t just any cafe—it was a cereal cafe. As in, cereal in a bowl. 
“It’s senseless violence, isn’t it?” Gary Keery, co-owner of Cereal Killer Cafe, tells the Guardian. “We’ve had some letters through the letterbox saying ‘die hipsters’ and stuff but nothing to this extreme. It just doesn’t make sense.” He says terrified customers and their children hid inside while protesters (who carried torches and pig heads) threw cereal and red paint at the windows. After customers found safety downstairs, members of the mob managed to break in and throw furniture and a smoke bomb inside.
Roughly 200-strong, the protesters called themselves “The F*** Parade” and explained their anti-gentrification stance on a Facebook event page, reports the Independent. “Our communities are being ripped apart—by Russian oligarchs, Saudi Sheiks, Israeli scumbag property developers, Texan oil-money twats and our own home-grown Eton toffs,” they write. “We don’t want luxury flats that no one can afford, we want genuinely affordable housing.”
Not really seeing them angrily protesting Saudi Shieks. Not really seeing them angrily protesting their government’s immigration policies on Muslims.
Reportedly some protesters were chanting,
“Got milk?”
😉
I have trouble with Prog satire, thought for sure it was the Onion again.
Hell, for $6.50 you can get a box of cereal and a quart of milk.
Effing hipsters.
They might have been ‘Cereal Killers’
Wow, Britain is over run with hoards of Islamic radicals who are taking over a once English country….and these poofters are demonstrating and attack a “cereal” bar? I guess it’s safer that going after a mosque.
Are those the hipsters or the protesters in the picture? I get so confused….
Maybe that’s why “Cereal Killer Café” was the name of the place, huh?
Read the linked to story, and in it, they mention a bi-polar lady in San Fransicko who sells $4 toast. Turns out, it’s a piece of white bread with butter, sugar and cinnamon that’s been laid on a broiler for a couple of minutes – what Ma Smith called “cinnamon toast” – a Great Depression treat. For FOUR dollars a slice.
I don’t know if she’s a genius capitalist or just another P.T. Barnum. “There’s a sucker born every minute.” or “A fool and his money…”
But anyway… F*ck Hipsters. Dudes in girl jeans and old ($50) Chuck Taylor sneakers.
Was it the sugar in the cereal that caused them to become cereal killers? You might say they were crazy for Cocoa Puffs or Sugar powered buzz bombs.
Exactly. Who’s missing from this rant….
“Our communities are being ripped apart—by Russian oligarchs, Saudi Sheiks, Israeli scumbag property developers, Texan oil-money twats and our own home-grown Eton toffs,”
A bunch of hipsters sitting around eating cereal and twiddling devices….Should’ve called it “Mom’s Super Basement”
Four-dollar toast?
Does that include the rent on the S.F. storefront, the $15 minimum wage, the energy to toast the toast and refrigerate the butter?
When I was a young man, they called those pegged jeans, Greasers wore them.
Now they are skinny jeans, Greasers still wear them.
Cap’n Crunch recently went on a safari and killed Tony the Tiger. I bet the mob blamed the hipsters for it.
The Russians, Saudis, Texans, Israelis et al are most certainly not hipsters. This mob is attacking the one group they are certain won’t fight back. Coward scum the lot of them. If they want a real crack at the title go after the Saudi’s, after all they’re probably most responsible for unleashing the Muslim terrorists on the world.
Nothing like attacking a soft easy target. I am laughing at these pussies.
Leave the kids alone. Its a small local business. That’s a good thing, even if its a silly business.
Maybe the rest of the story – left untold
Is that the clientele are Fruit Loops.
So? If someone wants to spend $6.50 on a bowl of cereal, that’s his prerogative.
What kind of pussy eats cereal.
Eggs
Bacon
Toast
Hash browns
Black coffee

Actually, in his time they called them Queers.
