Seems fairly quiet in London tonight , but then they have drafted so many police in that ... there's trouble in central Manchester instead.

Let's not pussy foot about it, most of trouble in London is from young black men, and either in largely black areas or in shopping centres close to black areas, such as Croydon and Ealing. However we have plenty of feral white youths happy to tag along.

It's not the disappearance of the middle class that is happening, but of the traditional working class - the majority of all races get middle class jobs (even if they still identify with the working class) and a minority sink into an underclass, and are quite unemployable. Sparky's right, there are plenty of jobs in London, even now.

, but to put it into context, crime rates including street crime has declined sharply from its peak in the 90s.

This will peter out in a few days.It always happens in the school holidays.

I have the answer: tactical anti-riot chiggers. They don't work immediately, but the following evenings will be spent bathing in calamine lotion.

And now we have our first dead bodies.

At what point does this become left wing terrorism?

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because

1. You're now several kilometres away; and

2. You've got their shoes.

As the police are proving useless tossers, inevitably .

When the state no longer has a monopoly of legitimised violence, it gets nasty.

American violence in volcanic terms seems like Etna (frequent small eruptions), Europe more like Krakatoa (nothing happens for ages, then...).

I still think it will quieten down in a few days.

Whilst technology makes it easier to organise a looting spree, it also makes it easier to catch a few of the geniuses who've been a-plundering.

The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.

old trick

pro democracy freedom seeking protesters are vilified by police acting as looters

how come in Iran you were condoning burning banks and attacking police stations and in London not ?

come on .. decency demands consistency (and fairness)

flashback to 1967....

detroit newark washington in flames...

stopped by national guard roadblock outside DC

nobody in or out even in uniform w/id and creds

watching black clouds rise from reddish orange glow

wondering if born black would i be one of them....


but after these 67 riots civil rights became more than words....

maybe looting from the bottom up

is a visceral companion to looting at the top

by the guys who plead nolo contendre

and pay a fine while parking

millions/billions offshore

and never going to gaol...



if so, karma is self correcting

in the most proper possible

social darwinian manner.

Don't think of them as entitlements. Think of them as a hedge against being murdered by the proletariat.
