LONDON – Residents surveyed shattered streets and police vowed a wave of arrests Monday after riots and looting erupted in an impoverished London neighborhood and hopscotched across the city that hosts next summer's Olympic Games.

The unrest was sparked by a police shooting, but some blamed unemployment, insensitive policing and opportunistic looting for the worst violence the city has seen in years. Police and politicians insisted the disorder was the work of a criminal minority and not a sign of social tensions or security lapses ahead of the 2012 Games.

Twenty-six police officers were injured Sunday during riots in the Tottenham area of London, after a demonstration against the death of a local man turned violent and cars and shops were set ablaze.

In the hardest-hit area, Tottenham, many residents agreed that the looting was the work of greedy youths, aided by instant communication through SMS texts and instant messaging.

I recommend the police adopt a "shoot on sight" mentality. Fuckin' hoodlums.

a) we don't allow those types where I live
b) I shoot REAL straight and have multiple weapons
c) I may not get them all, but they'll know they were in a fight.

I like my chances.

LA, New Orleans - no question it's been simmering under the surface for a long time. All we need here is a minor spark to bust it wide open with today's economic environment.
