In the face of the governments in ability to provide aid to its people, people in a food line in Whittier began rioting and attacking police in the capital today after a government center ran out of food that was being to civilians dislocated by whittier's prolonged civil war over abortion.
Police cars are being overturned, and buildings are being set ablaze as police fled the area after being attacked by very large and very angry mobs.
Supermarkets have broken into and there much looting. At this time there is no official word from the government.
But there is speculation as to what action the government should take.
Hardliners call for a return to socialist government and the shooting of every man woman and child participating in the riots.
Others call for even more radical reforms and are demanding the establishment of a hardline communist government.
The Reformers are saying democracy has'nt been around long enough for Whittierites to see what true democracy is.
Still others are saying Whittier needs to eliminate all trade barriers and accept more foreign aid. Whittier is already an aid recipient nation but is refusing to recieve aid from nations where abortion is legal.

Russian Forces laughs. You have too many of your troops dieing! Your nation will collapse!

As the riots proceed, we caught with one group of rioters in downtown Whittier.
Rioter one (names are anonymous to protect the sources): the foreigners are willing to pay for Whittierites to die in someone else's war but they're not doing a damn thing for starving civilians. The only good foreigner is a dead foreigner.
Rioter two: I am angry the government cares more about those filthy ukrainians than its own people.
Rioter three: You shouldn't really be here. We're angry at the press too. Your safety isn't guaranteed.
Rioter four: The cops are coming bust out the guns and gas masks.

We have word that the riots have spread to 5 other major cities in Whittier.

The Whittier government accepts your offer.

Police are now clashing with rioters.
Canisters of tear gas are being thrown at the mobs.

The offer is made directly to the people not to the government. The government has failed them, so it is time to cast it off entirely.

The riots have spread to the Whittierite city of Los Angeles.

The situation is getting very dire.

The situation is getting very dire.

Do you want outside help? We are willing to send in peacekeepers to help your police restore order... and then ferry in food supplies to help get your countries food problem back on track. It is up to you.

This is an internal affair. We are grateful for your offer of peacekeepers, but we can handle this ourselves.
The police have begun shooting at the rioters.
The rioters have begun shooting back.
Casualties: 435 rioters
265 police officers
dead so far as a result of the riots.

The businessowners are beginning to demand the use of armed military force against the rioters.
Many political observers are saying that democracy in Whittier may be on the verge of collapsing and word is there is arguing inside the government on to handle the riots.

The government of the United States empathizes with the people of Whittier in these trying times. We urge them not to jump to quick on the bandwagon for leaving democracy. We note that Whittier has not been a democracy for very long.
This morning the President of the United States offered several large shipments of food in return for Whittier's continued committment to democratic and capitalist reforms. Though we are very concenred about the police killing so many civilians.
Anytime any former communist nation or any formerly dictatorial nation begins the path of democratic reform it is always painful but will inevitably be worth it in the end.

We note the Americans said the same thing when Russia ran into problems with the democratic system. Look at the Russians today. They have returned to communism and are now attacking their neighbors. All because democracy never worked for them. And democracy will not work for Whittier. They just need to abandone that awful experiment cause these riots are proof that democracy in Whittier is a failure.

The situation is getting very dire.
What more proof is needed to show they should use military might against the rioters.

We ask Whittier not to abandone Ukraine. We are willing to share our abundant supply of meat and produce with them once the war with Russia is over.

The death toll from the rioting has now passed one thousand.
Economists estimate that there has has been millions of dollars in property damage. The damage would've been higher if the war hadn't destroyed so much infrastructure.
Meantime, the government is now under criticism for its handling of the situation.

More police have been deployed in all cities through out the USS of Whittier. Amateur news photographers on the scene got these photos of the situation.

As you can see, national lawenforcement is preparing to deal with the riots.

Officer Krupke rescues a little girl after her parents were viciously attacked and massacred by a mob of rioters.

Officer Krupke was given an award for his valor against the evil rioters.

Gurian Cargo Planes fly over Whittier and drop crates of food. Crowds cheer as they tear open the crates of food and devour them. And soon afterwards, the Cargo Planes fly out again.

Dictator Anderson smiled. What a terrible government if it could not provide for its people. He was happy to at least get them food and to keep them alive. They were rioting, true, but because they were starving and needed food. Providing food would help.

Dictator Anderson knew this was not authorized, but if the government had failed its people then it had lost the right of consultation.
