London riots getting REALLY out of hand. Not sure if it gets any coverage over there, but basically ethnic minorities but native born are going crazy in town.
The gunshot started it, but the sentiment is caused by poverty and resentment.
T





there's some unreal shit
there's some unreal shit going on there right now but of course idiots are burning down local businesses and other pointless shit. really surprised something like this hasnt happened in the US in reaction to the past few years events
Dude, this crap is happening
Dude, this crap is happening all over the USA. Has nothing to do with the recession. Open fire and put them down. Real simple solution. How you allow a mob of people to burn buildings, endangering people all around, without using lethal or almost lethal force is beyond me.

Yah, poverty caused it. Sorry
Yah, poverty caused it. Sorry that rich people dont just hand over their wealth because you think life is unfair.
I am sure poor immigrants who come to the USA will be doing this. Oh wait, no, they will just go to college or work hard to improve their lives. Opps.

dont get me wrong, i dont
dont get me wrong, i dont believe in redistribution of wealth at all, My main fear is that 2011 isn't 2008 again, but 1929, because 1929 started a real shitstorm called ww2...
Criteria 1: a once great nation let down by its old guard leadership elects a minority party because the majority parties have failed them....
How many countries fit that description right now?
Blame it on an ethnic minority? Pending....

It's pretty eerie. Add on the recent Congress ridiculousness which makes people lose complete faith in the power of a vote and what else do they have to turn to?

This is not happening in the US at the scale as it currently is in London.
The riot you are referencing
The riot you are referencing is because a father got shot. I don't know the full details, nor do I give a shit. Someone gets killed and you loot and riot? Yeah, that makes sense.
A nation that allows shit like this to happen is a nation that invites more of it to happen. This is not a peaceful protest or demonstration. It is completely destructive and harmful. Dispatch the military and make anyone caught in these riots serve hard jail time. Send a message that this will not be tolerated.

Yeah, this guy looks like he is oppressed and rioting out of poverty and oppression.
Lock and load people.

Ummm yes it is, just nothing burnt yet. I also do not think the police in the US would tolerate this bullshit.

It's really not the same thing and I think a good portion of the reason is the point that we both agree on that the US would not tolerate any of it.

This is how people react when they've lost all hope in systems that they were supposed to trust.
Oh really? You are upset
Oh really? You are upset about a father being shot and you decide to rob and steal?
When you lose faith you protest. You sit in. You march. You do not burn, riot and loot and harm innocent people. That is what criminals do. And how did they lose hope?
"The disturbances were preceded by the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Mark Duggan by police on 4 August 2011 during a planned arrest in which one officer was injured.[14] Friends and relatives of Duggan, an alleged cocaine dealer and member of the 'Star Gang', stated that he was unarmed.[13] The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) stated that a non-police-issue handgun was later recovered at the scene.[15]
Wow, so they dont deny he was a gang member and a coke dealer, just that he was unarmed.
Let me see. Cops killed a scumbag and the people rise up and destroy shit because they are angry at the system that doesn't help drug dealers and gang members excel in life.
Yeah right.

Tell me how well that's been working here.
Small update for you all
Small update for you all before I go to bed:
Rioting has spread to the next 3 largest towns in England, and has also spread to the richer neighbourhoods in London. Lots of stuff on fire, and the police are massing (1700 of them) but have not done anything significant as of yet.
This is completely surreal, never seen anything like this at all.
Tomorrow will be interesting indeed.
Working where dude? What are
Working where dude? What are you talking about?
The cops shot a suspected drug dealer and gang member. The whole story has not come out. I haven't seen anyone deny him being in a gang or dealing drugs, just that he was unarmed.
So let me get this straight. The cops kill a criminal and that gives people the right to go ape shit? The UK provides far more services and entitlements than the US does. Please tell me what basis these people have to go nuts and destroy towns.
Free healthcare, welfare, low cost, subsidize college. What else do they want.
These people are flat out criminals. Nothing else. This is not Egypt, this is not Syria, this is a bunch of spoiled babies destroying a nation that takes care of them.
Makes me sick.
