I hope that American kids are watching these dumbies and learn a quick lesson...
Unfortunately, I don't think it will. Obama's class warfare, promulgated by a complicit liberal media, leads today's youth to believe they are owed something -- and they're just waiting for the right opportunity to go out and take it.
Hope those flat-screen TVs were worth it, dumbasses.
Nice to see looters getting (even minimally) punished. Sling them in jail!
And our smarter-than-smart POTUS just yesterday urged people to "vent their frustration". He meant toward Republican Congresscritters, but what a bad choice of words.
(Or did he???)
An armed citizenry.
How does that mesh with his call for civil discourse? Liberals ALWAYS resort to name calling and/or other vitriolic tactics when asserting their right to voice their opinions. To them, throwing glitter on Tim Pawlenty was 'freedom of expression'.
Will Obama, who takes the opportunity to espouse class warfare every time he steps in front of a camera take the blame for violence when it occurs? Will the complicit liberal media blame him like they tried to blame Palin for the shooting in AZ? Of course not. But then hypocrisy is a cornerstone of liberalism, or so it would seem.
I think the full force of the law should be thrown at these punks. Of course, if these yutes were angry young Muslims, we would be admonished to try and understand their rage.
“Obama’s class warfare, promulgated by a complicit liberal media, leads today’s youth to believe they are owed something...”
The mind-set you are talking about is very real. Unfortunately, it was in existence before Obama took office - particularly among black youths but also with white suburban kids too.
Obama’s class warfare policies are just making it more pronounced.
A morally bankrupt generation apparently.
Doesn’t bode well for the future.
Banishment! Send them to some place where they can’t get into trouble —like Northern Ireland or some other spot like bleak northern Scotland. Let them work with their hands for a while.
Ballet Dancers. Musicians. Law Students.
People who have been given everything, and use their time and energy to go out and destroy and steal. There is a special kind of evil in this.
The lib left says this is not “evil”, we need to understand. BS. This is evil at work.
They will probably be sentenced to counseling.
Agreed. It existed during Katrina and beyond. But having a president espousing such things and a black president at that exacerbates it considerably. And given that his justice department refuses to prosecute blacks they have to feel emboldened. It is for these reasons he will be responsible should something like what is happening in the UK happens here.

The Rioters Farewell (Oh its so beautiful)
Prison ships lie rigged and readey in the harbor
Tomorrow for old Sydney she sails
Far away from this island full of riots
To a home of sunshine seen through iron bars
And they will be aboard the ships tomorrow
Though wails and curses make it all seem gray
They had a lovely time firing old London
Now they must do penance at the Bay
Oh its so beautiful
When justice comes and bites you on the bum
Oh its so beautful
For 20 years hard labour and no Rum
We’ve heard of all the crime gone on in England
And we wondered if the Bobbies knew their stuff
No worries Mate twill all be right by morning
The rioters are all just not that tuff
They stole a iPod, burnt a shop and laughed long
But now the laughings done the Kiddies cry
Tis Botany theyre bound for come the sunrise
They’ll be banished to Down Under by and by
Oh its so beautiful
When justice comes and bites you on the bum
Oh its so beautful
For 20 years hard labour and no Rum
I hear that theres a gale abrewing southward
And the ships are tossing roughly on the brime
No need for a cruise director on this voyage
Sea sickness will help to pass the time
Of Coppers our brave Laddies had no fear ‘tall
The girls were all adither with cheek too
But lower the flag as they sail into Bondi
Theyre not there to spend a day down at the Zoo
Oh its so beautiful
When justice comes and bites you on the bum
Oh its so beautful
For 20 years hard labour and no Rum
Through years of toil and hardship lie before them
And death will take the weak by Christmas Eve
No need to call your mother on that cell phone
She had sense enough to pack her bags and leave
And theres no Fish N Chip shops down in Botany
To eat a fellow must catch it himself
And girls that stronger sun will cause some wrinkles
And to think at 16 you thought of the shelf
Oh its so beautiful
When justice comes and bites you on the bum
Oh its so beautful
For 20 years hard labour and no Rum
(The Last Farewell, Roger Whittaker)
