    Yes I can absolutely see it here and in fact I predict it soon enough. These idiots riot over football games, etc. So you just wait until inflation kicks in big time as the economy continues it's fall and/or eventual collapse of the Dollar.

    A catalyst that i can see as a possible point of ignition is the inflation that we have right around the corner in our future - predicted to be major to severe. When their welfare or unemployment checks will shrink in value to the point where they just aren't enough to pay for what inflated prices will bring (a $1000/month welfare check today in conditions of extreme inflation will bring it's actual value down to $100-$200 in todays dollars - they'll be starving, etc and riots will follow in rapid order).

    I live 35 miles from the nearest town of any size in the mountains of the high desert. The cities will be a nightmare when these riots begin, with mobs torching everything in sight. The military will be required to put it down.

    Mentioned in another thread, but I will never understand the logic of getting your revenge on the police by destroying your fellow mans/neighbors/friends homes and businesses.

    Way to go, you bunch of toolbag loser 'rioters'. I think something like this could happen for a few hours here tops, before they'd be getting tear gassed and barraged with other non-lethal munitions.

    A few different posts have touched up on what the problem is.



    1. Decades of socialism and they don't have the money anymore.

    A. They are ineffectual and have taken the pride & independence out of the people.

    B. They got everyone hooked on free everything, and now they can't keep paying for it.

    2. Mass immigration into Europe from the 3rd world.

    A. Immigrants are not adopting their host country as theirs, and taking in their languages, values, and ideology. They setup little versions of their own country. The problem with that is their home country is a 3rd world shit hole. Our early immigrants came from civilized societies with similar values to our own. Mass immigration by the 3rd world means you setup 3rd world ghettos in a civilized society. Our early immigrants had a shared lifestyle, value system, basic religious tenets, ect.



    I believe it was sometime in the 50's or 60's where we basically cut off western European immigration to a trickle, and started in with the 3rd worlders. I know my family came here in 1948 from Holland. Now, unless its by marriage, it would be virtually impossible for that to happen now. Read about the rural towns who have been taken over by Somali immigrants, and its bound to happen here sooner or later on a scale like this. On my second deployment all our interpreters were trying to take part in a program to get US citizenship. Its friggen unreal. The west is committing mass suicide. When I was in Germany no one liked the turks. They had their own sections of towns that were "theirs". They don't give a shit about Germany or German culture. Read about the the rape epidemic in Sweden. Some once thriving and nice towns there are overrun with middle easterners, and where crime was scare the numbers have exploded particularly sexual crimes against natives.



    While what that guy in Norway did was appalling I believe this is what he was fighting against (in his mind). I suspect as more of this goes on the nationalistic side is going to become more prevalent. Only so many people are going to sit by why their towns get taken over by the 3rd world, drugs become rampant, and their daughters get raped on their way home from school because some muslim thug thinks raping a non muslim woman isn't wrong. They go out on the streets destroying entire blocks because the natives aren't as accepting of them as they want, they want to be given jobs instead of doing it on their own, and they are basically holding their host countries hostage. Unless you appease them and think everything they do is ok they'll burn the place down.

    Reuters UK is/was running a live blog. It looks like some individuals with a less than skewed moral compass have been helping the Police with "intel".

    Heck then what is the point? Other than investigative work the police would be useless. Although, I personally think we need to head a little in that direction, but only a little bit. I do appreciate our LEO's out there, but I feel this country is becoming ever more a police/nanny state.

    Although I never understood why people like those rioting there are burning down their own neighborhoods. That is the same as getting pulled over for speeding and getting angry that the officer pulled you so you burn your car?

    Retards...

    Oh the looting too! "I got an idea, why don't we go and rob the stores and get us some nice new shoes..." six months later they are bitching at the cost of the shoes in the store because the store has to recoupe their losses.

    I remember those. I guess I probably worded it wrong and should have realized just how similar some of those events are to the current shitstorm in London.

    LA riots, Liberty City riots, Watts riots. All you need is a pretense and then it is game on.

    Bear in mind this is a country where a soccer match isn't really a soccer match unless a drunken riot breaks out.

    Hooliganism is a national pastime and this is a perfect opportunity for roving bands of drunken, unemployed youth to go apeshit.

    That said, it's just sad and senseless. If I were pissed off and itchin' to "take it to the man," I'd at least go out to where "the man" lives and burn his ****in' house down, as opposed to running out into the street in front of my house and lobbing a Molotov cocktail through my own picture window.

    Apparently this is an alien concept to many of them. They're "stickin it to duh man" by burning and looting shops in their own neighborhoods. When it's all said and done, the hapless British taxpayer will be on the hook to fund the reconstruction of the looted and torched areas.

    Individuals -- even the relatively stupid ones -- are quite often capable of reasoned discussion in a one-on-one setting.

    Mobs -- even those comprised of people with whom I might otherwise have much in common -- are irrational, volatile and almost always prone to destruction.

    I've no idea why this tendency toward objectiveless rebellion is so hard-wired into our natures, but it seems that we're sure to see more of these kinds of displays (at home and abroad), given the present trajectory of our society at-large.

    Kind of makes a certain level of preparedness seem a lot more mainstream, when you get right down to it.
