London Rioting...

Post by AZGrizFan »

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. :ohno: :ohno:

It sounds like its getting really bad from what's being said on the twitterverse. In another forum where I post that has a fair amount of Londonites, many of them are beginning to fear the worst...saying that this thing is spreading like wildfire into smaller neighborhoods now. They're also wanting/pleading for the army to be sent out soon.

How long before we see this type of thing in the US?

I think we are closer than most people realize or want to admit.

I don't. You and your family will be torn to shreds. You might nick a few, but that's it my friend. The endgame is nearing and it will be your kids or grandkids, if they succeed like you did, that will have to fight.

We've overpopulated the planet, now we're paying the price.

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. :twocents:

Unfortunately, it appears as if you are right. Time to evaluate alternatives and be prepared (whatever that is for you), before it is too late.

We cannot expect leadership nor preventive action from anyone in Washington whether it be from donk, conk, tea party, white house, administration, homeland security, congress, judiciary or whatever. They are as out of touch with reality as any governing group in the history of the planet...

Coming soon to a main street in your neighborhood. :nod:

And AZ, diff is here, the rioters will likely be armed, and the riot might be called by some "Revolution."

Says so right in our Constitution.
