Following the tweets and FB posts of a few friends who live in the UK. They are pissed off. Pissed off at the rioters and the ineffectual police. As one said "They have one copper walking a beat all by himself and 4 officers dedicated to telling people what politically correct words they are allowed to use." Apparently the shit bag that got shot was just that. So the Bobbies killed the UK version of Rodney King. Now add in the "pain" that folks are feeling over what austerity measures have been taken by the government to control spending (it wasnt much) and folks are reacting to being cut off from their gub'mint cheese so to speak. The marxists and others are in there right now stirring shit up to make sure it doesn't calm down any time soon.

this is what happens when you have a large number of unemployed youths with too much free time. Waiting for any excuse to go out and break stuff. Europe has permanently high unemployment.

So what. Anarchists are garbage with feet.

Correct. One situation. Unfortunately from what I have been told the police are really not allowed to "police". All you need to do is watch the current coverage where the police are simply standing by doing nothing because they are afraid of being arrested or hauled in front of a committee.

Britain burns: Riots spread through UK cities.
http://news.yahoo.com/britain-burns-...013736610.html
Wisconsin state fair riot, whites singled out and attacked, 05 August 2011.
Caribbean Day Festival in Washington DC erupted into an utter riot on the streets of our nations capital, 25 June 2011. Lot of Youtube vids, search there as the national media had a total black out on the matter.
Beat whitey night at the Iowa state fair, 24 & 25 August 2010. Google it as media again had a black out on the matter.
It's happening with greater frequency. Check out these stats. . .:eek:

Exactly! It is starting to feel like the the late 60's here again to me.
Edited to add: Not that the riots have started, but that I believe we could be heading there.

No offense intended, but I'm not interested.

They dont have the brain power to understand their own position.

I think it could definitely happen here. I think the last event that happened here that is most similar to this the 92 LA riots.
This kind of scenario is what I am "preparing" for, and I would like to be able to protect my homestead and family if this does occur.

Does anyone think we could see this happen here? There is alot of going (lack of jobs, etc...) and the use of social networks to spread the messages of "hey let's go looting and cause damage".
