Brings back memories of the Vancouver riots after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup.  Just a whole bunch of pricks with no other agenda than to fuck up things.  What struck me is that real Brits came out to clean up as did the citizens of Vancouver.

Just an observation and nothing more.

 

The British police have handled these rioters with kids gloves, very hesitant to make offensive type moves to stop the rioting and destruction of property.

 

Very different from how the British have handled mobs in other countries, for example Ireland.

 

And before anyone accuses me of being an Irish sympathizer let me say I consider the IRA a terrorist organization.

 

The Irish are only used for example purposes.

 Its anarchists among the crowds. You take a crowd of unhappy but peaceful people, sprinkle in a few that entice their feelings of mistrust and a powder keg goes off... A simple mob mentality erupts...

My prayers go out to all of the UK.  Most of you know how much I despise scumbags...If the UK would re-arm its citizens then no one would try and loot if they knew that they would be looking down the barrel of anything!  Once the badguys know that the populace is armed they will not do so much to the populace for fear of getting dead. 

 

All in all I pray for your well being.

TBH, bring back hanging, and harsh victorian style prisons, I couldn't give a shit if you did a crime, if you did it, no bloody easy let off for you, I want to see hard time, not easy time.

The cost to keep a prisoner in custody is £40k  per annum, so I say let them eat porridge, earn their keep by working, because remedial ways obviously don't work.

 

TA is a good response to these little fucking looters, and I agree they are the main cause of the problems, all as SOB said need a damned good thrashing with a beech log!

Scum of the earth, cut their tackle off!!!!!

Shamu got it right!

 What's really at work here is a liberal, entitlement society that destroys respect not only for others' rights and property, but for one's self. These ignorant punks really believe the world owes them something. And why do they think that way? Well, we get a bit of a hint from previous comments here reflecting the socialist European mentality, including:

 

     "Stupid capitalism is destroying the whole world. I bet this isn't the last riot based on a government's austerity."

 

Perhaps the writer doesn't understand "capitalism." It is an economic system where the means of production is privately owned and operated competitively for profit. What that does is drive up quality, while driviving down price for goods and services. Contrast that with socialism where the means of production is government owned, which system drives down quality and destroys incentive. Why work hard to get ahead in such a system?

 

And this comment:

 

     "The youths of today are ignored by all politicians, they get less and less rights, less access to everything, education, in other words, they got no hope."

 

 Give me a fucking break. Less rights? Less access? Less hope? Bullshit!!! The "youths of today" need their asses kicked until they got off them and earn their own way in life. Respect is earned, not granted.

 

 If you wish to prevent a thing, you need to make the consequences for doing it sufficiently severe. Rioters, no matter who they are, not matter their age, should be shot on sight.

Shamu
hackeklaus

its not only because he got shoot, there are many things that make them go crazy. for an example the uk goverment reduced the money for youth-helping-project (or however u call that) for about 65%. before they had nothing and now they have even less.

stupid capitalism is destroying the whole world. i bet this isnt the last riot based on a govermentsausterity.

Perhaps this is also a result of a liberal society. Governments have given away so much welfare aid and assorted freebies that they come to be expected by a society not motivated to work for a living. It's well known that welfare breeds welfare and unemployment checks can breed continued unemployment. It is very easy for people to get used to living on freebies.

 

Now when we are in a financial economic crisis just listen to the pigs squeal if their freebies are cut. They would rather tax the working class to make up for the shortage so they can continue to live on government subsistence.

 

I understand some welfare is warranted and deserved but it is a system that is abused by the multitude contributing to the economic crisis.

 

Someone explain to me how a person collecting welfare can turn down any low level job such as working at a MacDonalds. If a welfare recipient turns down a job or refuses to actively seek employment at the very least the minimum wage for a week should be deducted from their weekly benefits. Some people just think they are too good to sweep a floor.

 

I believe PA unemployment benefits can be as much as $400.00 per week and last for a year. Naturally much depends on earnings before layoff. Fortunately I have not had to test those waters for many years.

Shamu, I am afraid the suggestion doesn't hold water.  Those appearing before the courts for offences connected with the looting are already from a wide spectrum of society including a 31 year-old full-time teaching assistant in a London primary school!  Just the sort of guy one would want developing ones little children, eh?!  May explain why 11 year-olds are among those now facing the courts for looting.

 

The suggestions, however, that, somehow the government or wider society is to blame for the criminal acts of a small minority make me want to puke.  It is utterly ridiculous to propose that because some youngster's youth club was closed down he's going to go on the rampage.  And capitalism is not the villain here either (though I am no proponent of unfettered profit-seeking at the expense of the public, the flawed system of economics in our world doesn't cause the well-fed and the well-clothed to revolt!).

 

There is a lack of discipline in homes and schools (failed parenting), a lack of respect for authority (gangster culture imported from across the Atlantic is embraced instead) and a lack of effective countermeasures (police hamstrung by witless politicians of all parties over the years and a justice system populated by liberal judges who are incapable of dispensing proportionate sentences).

 

There are so many of us who would like these disturbances smashed with an iron fist but no, the useless politicians have already begun the blame game and it was the brave men and women in uniform who faced potentially mortal danger that are now being criticised!

 

The death toll of innocent members of the public, I gather, stands at four - one shot by a gangster and three others mown down by a car - with others very badly hurt.

 

I just hope the pendulum swings back now and society and the dimwits who run this country wake up and begin to fix things!

Citizen ownership of firearms is ultra restrictive in California.  Hence why the bad guys got away with so much crap.  I wear my firearm openly and it sends a message to any would be bad guy...stay away from me and my family.  You might say that I would be the first one targeted statistically that is not the case.  Bad guys are cowards....Hence why they prey on the weak!

Exactly why politics are not discussed at any satisfying level here, because there are many opinions too diverse to come to any reasonable agreement. It's like that in just about every facet of life.. politics, religion, etc. SO, we agree to disagree and play our little FPS games. Fact is, none of us have all the answers.. I see no Utopia on the hill. I have my hands full keeping myself and my house in order, I am in no position to tell you how to fix yours.

 

Whatever the motivation, it is truly a shame what is happening in the UK. I hope it calms down and things get back to normal.
