I guess the Chinese want the Brits to run over the looters with tanks.

Depending on the types of yutes involved, that may be the correct approach.

Riot police look on as fire rages through a building in Tottenham, north London Aug. 7, 2011.

China is LOVING this and making maximum propaganda value out of the US Debt Ceiling Debate and these riots in London.
It is mainly for consumption of their domestic audience - “You see, fellow Chinese, there is nothing of value in the economies and political systems of the West - only CHAOS.”

China can go to hell. Why we do ANY business with them is beyond me, but just about all of the big American businesses are selling us out. Just try to find American made products in Walmart. Traitors ALL!

I saw a report on CNN about the riots. Many of the rioters look like they would be right at home in the ghettos of American cities,if you get my drift. Some young people were wearing New York Yankee caps, in England. I’ve heard that Yankee caps are one of the favorites of youth gangs here. Apparently they find favor with the youth gangs over there.
The news people are not talking about the backgrounds of the rioters. But, it appears to be rioting among young Britons whose parents immigrated to England from former colonies, such as the African colonies, or Jamaica.

The pics look like they came from 1940, I would almost expect to hear Edward R Murrow.

Indeed. The events in britain are not political in any way. Looting is not political expression in a democracy. Thugs, criminals, gangs and anarchists should simply be shot...tanks treads would be okay too.

To: AfricanChristian
And China is correct. The Brits have lost control.

I will have to agree somewhat with the Chicoms whiners, and it’s legit. How safe will the athletes be if the cops with their pc-ness cannot even take the homeys on the very 2nd day??
It’s not like Michael Phelps heads to the swimming pool and finds out it’s been burned down.

The answer to that question is the most depressing part of all. We are a debtor nation.
