im sure all of the cameras and electro-security measures had a bit to do with it as well. i'd snap if i had a city full of motherfuckers breathing down my neck with pan-cams every day.

This is the first i've heard about it being about race, though. Best i could figure it was just a bunch of foodstampers yearning for that yummy government teat

This woman stood up on the street and told the rioters that she was ashamed to be black and that the rioters were all a bunch of stupid thieves. Pretty ballsy in the midst of a violent mob

^ Following that, the rioters looked at one another, shook their head in disgust as she made them realize what type of monsters they had become. While being overcome with guilt, they put their arms around one another, embraced the old lady, and killed her while they busted out the windows of an Apple store as they snatched up all the Mac Minis.

Here's a good interview that actually aired on BBC where an old black man (who was once a broadcaster) says he wasn't surprised at all by the riots and goes off on the news anchor for being disrespectful. I think it really shows where the rioters were coming from....

Good thing England doesn't allow the public to own guns or the death toll would be higher.

I like how half the people on the youtube video clips of the riots are wearing polos and talking on smartphones. Yeah, clearly they are disenfranchised and justified to be lighting fire to dry cleaners, stationary stores and pubs.

Clearly a basic knowledge of physics is needed when you decide to throw stuff at the cops.

no wrong can be done to people who own a cell phone and a collared shirt. Got it.

Interesting:

Quote :
"Shock over 'respectable' lives behind masks of UK rioters

Before they started appearing in court, most people assumed London's rioters and looters were unemployed youths with no hope and no future.

So there was much surprise when details of the accused began to emerge, and they included some from wealthy backgrounds or with good jobs.

Those passing through London's courtrooms on Tuesday and Wednesday -- some courts sat overnight to cope with the numbers -- have included a teaching assistant, a lifeguard, a postman, a chef, a charity worker, a millionaire's daughter and an 11-year-old boy, newspapers reported.

The tabloid Sun newspaper wrote in its opinion page on Thursday of the "sick" society described by Prime Minister David Cameron: "The sickness starts on welfare-addicted estates where feckless parents let children run wild."

But its front-page headline told a different story about the accused: "Lifeguard, postman, hairdresser, teacher, millionaire's daughter, chef and schoolboy, 11."

..."

a few well placed gun shots into that crowd and everyone would go home fast. simple as that. they are threatening police, and when you do that, you deal with the consequnces. I'm sure an easy case could be made that the police were in fear for their lives or were protceting 'innocent' people out there.

^^For some reason, the 11 year-old schoolboy is the most delightful part of the list for me.



BUSTED!

The following stores are broken into:

Foot locker
Pharmacy
Video game/DVD store

Political statement by young revolutinaries or shameless looting by unemployed punks? I will let you decide.

Awesome read:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15426720

It is a statistical analysis of the rioters who have been brought before the courts wrt wealth, age, race, special educational needs, proportion receiving free school lunches, etc.
