Take a look at the photos/videos


"There were around 30 well-equipped rioters
. The police didn't even come close to this; instead they were blocking the road 200m away."

Blame Obama for the war between the classes spread world-wide? In 2005, riots in Paris was blamed over the age raised to collect unemployment; but these were young adults protesting, far from the age of retirement; did not even have a job. Labor forces at work?

These riots were also claimed to be a "systematic failure of French society to integrate its increasingly diverse population". Signs promoting Obama as a leader were seen carried.

The difference between the city of London and Paris riots explained as, "the French rioters in the suburbs of Paris rarely penetrated the center of the city, while in London the "looting of goods, like sneakers and flat-screen TVs, appears the central focus of many of those taking part in the riots, leading the London police to refer to the unrest as a kind of “violent consumerism,” according to the Sky News reporter Martin Brunt.

Here is a protester in a Anti-APEC demonstation in Japan in 2010 wearing a Barack Obama mask while holding a mask of Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
The sign read: "YES WE CAN WAR".

In Egypt, it was later said ,"Obama's 2009 speech in Cairo may have contributed to inspiring the revolution, and may have also led protesters to believe he would side with them".

The President may not be directly responsible the revolutions around the world; but has his quest to punish the rich become an active stimulant? What about Oprah and "her gifts" {well provided by a BIG BUSINESS & RICH sponsor[s]no one rarely hears about} or that hope and dream thing..BUY and read this book..."my guest today is metaphysical time traveler, Shirley McClaine"..

This is what happens when you do not shoot rioters.

Looks like from that bottom left picture, the rioting and looting has truly become “multicultural” (i.e., the white “yoots” are getting in on it now).

Unless the word is put out that disruptors and looters will be shot on sight (and then do it) this mayhem will continue. There is a time for PC and there is also a time for LEAD.

"This is what happens when you do not shoot rioters."

Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin ruled out the Army to help police, BUT .....On Twitter, Scotland Yard said: "In the next 24 hours there will be 13,000 police officers on duty in London."

In Los Angeles it is called “non traditional shopping.”

Issuing tickets for disturbing the peace, no doubt...

Hmm. It’s Ramadan, right? That means they have to fast during the day, no food, no water from sunrise to sunset. So I imagine that during the day, they’re pretty tired (hey, rioting is hard work), and after sunset, they’re all too busy eating the iftar meal to break their fast. So maybe there’s a blessing that it’s Ramadan. It might take the professional rioters in the Muslim community off the streets.

You could have ten times as many police on duty, and it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference unless their Rules of Engagement were changed, and they were issued weapons and live ammo.

Except in Los Angeles the citizens took to the roof tops, with real guns.

Blackberry Website Hacked in Wake of London Riots

Hackers defaced a website belonging to Blackberry maker Research in Motion Tuesday afternoon, after the company said it would aid London police investigating several days of rioting that have already led to one death.

"If u assist the police, we _WILL_ make this information public and pass it on to rioters …. do you really want a bunch of angry youths on your employees' doorsteps?" Police investigating the extraordinary escalation of London's rioting and disorder believe that instant messages sent via Blackberry smartphones played a vital role in coordinating the riots.

Put up a curfew with shoot to kill orders. I think that would put a damper on the festivities.

The usual suspects with a few White Trash thrown in for good measure.
These riots are always blamed on something that reall has nothing to do with the fact that these people are just begging for an excuse.

They are thieves, robbers , criminals out for something for nothing, and they could care less about some shooting of someone none of them even knew.

Shoot the first dozen and the rest will go home. In the long run you have done the world a favor as these people will end up in jail anyway sooner or later.
