London Riots

You too need to get a room...

Anyway, working in a Fast Food Restrunt close to where the rioting is happening I must say that I have actually been scared to go to work on Tuesday and monday, having been told that all of our police have been sent up there to help with the situation.

Honestly this is just a few drunk/drunk tesostorone filled teenagers (between 15-25) who think it is a bit of fun. They haven't done this for political reasons. Simply the reason to say they have done it.

If they tried the looting and burning thing around here there would be many dead young men. I don't know anyone around here that would not put a bullet in the head of anyone trying to burn them out. Maybe the innocent victims should go these thugs homes and burn their family out. You know, just to say they did.

DodgeFB, et al,

But I think we should let the Brits handle this. This could easily happen in the US.

I am dodging nothing. I don't give a damn about the protesters. I am commenting on the looters and you just don't seem to get it. I think you just like being contrary and don't know how to do anything else.

(COMMENT)

Throughout history, a pattern of violence, lawlessness and criminal behavior seems to rise as poor economic conditions take hold and unemployment rises. That is just the way it is.

Under a 100% Capitalist State, it is not "all for one, and one for all;" or any such illusion. It is "all for me - as much as I can get." Or in more educated terms: "utilitarian - maximization of wealth." The UK, like the US, are not "democracies" --- but "republics." And just as the republics of old, the wealthy, rich and powerful, run the nation in a way that benefits them. They will stoop to any low, outsource any job, corrupt any investment, and cripple any opportunity ---- IF it financially or influentially adds to their personal wealth, power, and influence in society.

In the US - you can prove this, just ask any Member of Congress (just like any member of Parliament in London) what legislation they supported that was equal to or greater than what they spent on Iraq or Afghanistan. Name one politician that is campaigning, with the cornerstone that they want to rebuild America's (or the UK's) industrial might, economic power, and commercial influence; putting Americans to work, investing in our national equity, and making America or the UK the center of science and technology.

This is not struggle about reforming government, but a natural off-shoot of the economic times. If UK Leadership (or the US Leadership for that matter) had inspired hope, trust and confidence in the youth (the next generation of voters and leaders) in building a robust economy that could support every class within its population, this would be much different.

Just My (minority) opinion.

I never considered anyone but the Brits handling it. My thoughts and concern are for the innocent people caught in the middle of this whole mess.

I have been told all my life how "civilized" they were because of their gun laws. And how uncivilized we are because of guns. This just proves to me even good people need a way to protect themselves and their property. This could have been stopped the first day had a couple of the thugs been dropped while starting their fires. But that is just my opinion. I have been told by friends over there that they would be afraid to have a gun the house.

It seems they are tightening down on the bad guys over there now.
