That’s how it works, there may be scattered spontaneous violence, but if the mob smells police intransigence then all hell breaks loose.

They had better wise up really quickly and use real guns.If they opened fire on the criminals it would stop really fast.This is what we will see when the welfare stops because from what I understand from British friends on FB this is an uprising over not just the shooting but the cuts the government has made to their welfare system.

The looting image of the L.A. riots that I most vividly remember is one of a guy dragging a sofa.

Civilization depends on people obeying mores. If culture is degraded and respect for law non-existent there will never be enough cops to enforce order.


Obeying social mores starts at the top...or in the case of London ends at the top. The British elite have been on a bend harassing and abusing their inferiors big time. They outlawed their speech as “hate” so they can not effectively protest the abuse within the political system.

That is not an excuse for what is happening but cultural cleansing the natives (British morals and ethics) while flooding the nation with racist, aggressive and abusive Muslim foreigners has it’s “rewards.” If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

This is a Public Service Announcement: Have you inspected and oiled your guns lately? Are your ammo stockpiles sufficient?

It already has.

How many times this summer has there been a “mob” of urban youths raging around, attacking random (usually white) people who are just minding their own business? Most recently at the Wisconsin State Fair.

We are so unaccustomed to it here in the US that the people have mostly reacted with shock, and by calling the police to help - and they don’t help. For whatever reason the wayward kids are never caught, in the act or afterward, and the mobs are becoming larger and more frequent.

Like the current situation in England, they are getting away with it, so it self-perpetuates.

Our inner cities “youth” make as big an impact as they can, by attacking the right kind of targets.

Beaches.
Fairs.
Free Concerts.
Public parks.
Malls.

They are attacking places where families are certain to be. Small children, even babies. They attack in situations where they know the likelihood of having their victims fighting back is slight.

A man is not likely to engage in a serious fight when he has several young children looking on.

People who carry are less likely to shoot when there are little children and their moms mixed throughout the crowds.

Most interesting to me is that they rarely STEAL or LOOT during these mob attacks. The objective appears to be one of intimidation. That strikes me as odd considering the age ranges and the size of these gangs.

These mob attacks are appearing more and more to have been very carefully arranged.

Rioters who destroy are not the equals of the people who built the city.

Yes, they can burn down a building in a fit of temper tantrum rage, but can they build that structure? Blacks and Arabs have this same twisted mentality - that taking someone down is the same as having their power.

Doesn't transfer - doesn't work like that...

They’re not even in the same phylum.

Any cockroach can destroy.

The other image I vividly recall (and I lived here through the riots—I’ve got stories) was the empty big-screen TV boxes piled out on the curb in front of house after house on the following trash day.

That triple mini-gun is truly a thing of beauty but, dang!,
you'd have to be Bill Gates in order to pay its feed bill.

Reminds me of the ‘77 blackout in New York.
When questioned by reporters most looters responded
“This is God giving us our chance to get even with The Man!”

Like I said, reliving the 70’s every day.
