The law banished the raider back into the dim pages of history, but law depended on a civilization which is now collapsing. Police officers alone won't be enough to stem the ride. Law enforcement depends on the fear of the average person to step out of line and break the law. The lone criminal pits himself against the well-oiled machine of the police and the federal authorities. But when gangs defy the authorities, then it's the beginning of a civil war.

Their goals are purely materialistic...

So they can't even do nihlism and anarchy properly. What ARE they teaching in the schools these days?

There will always be pirates, ‘though not always in ships.

Good read. Explains a lot.

To think that America is in much better shape than England/Europe with their youth mobs. Yobs, are they?

So at the state fair on beat WT night it's the Blobs? Sad and frightening.

I was in Chicago visiting a frail, elderly friend. We were having a nice time shopping on the lovely Miracle Mile, stopped in a Walgreen's for something, then went on our way.

The next day I read that a huge Blob came in to “get sandwiches” (don't you love the media), but terrorized everyone in the store and roughed up the poor clerks.

The thought of my tiny, sweet little friend, alone, when a mob of animals invades makes may blood boil.

I'm very angry right now. I think the decent people in America and Western Europe need to get angry and decide who is going to win this.

Good article.

What kind of people behave this way? Those who have come to think of wealth as an infinite pile from which everyone grabs as much as they can. This is where the ethos of the socialist left and hip-hop comes together.

What we are seeing in the British riots is this combination of young white anarchists/socialists and black underclass thugs. That happened in the recent Oakland riots, too.

Frankly, I think it's less accidental and fortuitous than the author appears to believe. Mob violence has always been one of the strategies of the left for destabilizing society so that it can take over.

Anybody old enough to have tried to do business with any of the “beautiful people” of the “flower power” hippy era (c1965—1972)knows that they were universally greedy and materialistic to the max.

Eric Hoffer said "the game of history is played by the best and worst over the heads of the people in the middle". It's time for the people in the middle to get in the game. Long past time.

It will be a difficult battle - the police and the government are on the side of the Looters and Takers.

The State steals YOUR money to give to the deadbeats.

The State confiscates your means of self-defense to make for a safe work environment for the crims.

If you show even the least bit of self sufficiency, this offends the State and they want to take it from you; the crims see self-sufficiency and in their greed and envy will take it from you.

Their father is the Devil, they play for the same team.

The minorities make a great proxy army for the left and the state.
They don’t actually have to beat whitey themselves, exposing their agenda, but they can give a wink and a nod to the minorities to go ahead and have their fun.

And, oh, by the way, if “whitey” even thinks about fighting back, we’ll prosecute him for a hate crime, and the media, of course, will demonize any such action.

Fancy it happened in gun-free Chicago! Wonder why?

The constant drumbeat of class warfare and race baiting plant some of the seeds which lead to this.

The mindset is that they rioters/looters are “entitled” to the fruits of someone else’s labor and if the government isn’t going to be the conduit for a satisfactory redistribution of wealth, they’ll forcibly take it.

It IS about “race” (as well as culture and civilization) and the flames are being fanned by our “post racial” president.

We have had recent riots in several countries and I have to wonder not if, but when it will happen here.

The hippies weren’t, were the “beautiful people” business people and entertainers?

With cell phones you have instant communications. A flash mob can appear, vanish and reappear at a moments notice. How do you fight that? Good read, thanks.

“It IS about “race””

In the end it is always about race. That’s how we’re wired.

Whites are generally better at pretending it’s not, and incorporating other races into their society. When they stop pretending is when it will really get ugly.

"Small business is the backbone of human freedom. The small businessman is able to negotiate commercial arrangements with individuals and groups outside the dominance of larger authority. But small business is on the decline. The corner store is likely to be run by outsiders, in Detroit as in London. And around it are chain stores, franchised or not, that are primary targets of looters. Loot them enough and all that's left is a hopelessly unrecoverable ghetto."

Normally this would be viewed as a self-correcting problem where the crims smashing up businesses and looting stores are in a sense votes for barbarism. The free market is quick to decide if the occasional burning down of the store, or killing of a clerk is worth the coin that might miraculously see itself as profit. When the costs and risks exceed any potential benefit, the market decides that this "voting block" would prefer squalor, chaos, decay and lawlessness over the benefits of ordered civilization.

Unfortunately, once these feral beasts soil their own nests, they demand that they are accepted back into civilized society without ever demonstrating remorse or even an interest in profitably participating.

This happens in both the macro and micro environments. The national government actively pursues injecting the poison of third world barbarians into civilization through their liberal application of immigration quotas, while in the hamlets and villages, city council people are constantly seeking ways to expand public housing in stable communities thinking that there is no amount of garbage that can be poured into wine before the wine itself is garbage.

It seems that human nature hasn't changed since expulsion from the Garden, and market forces would have adequately separated the riotous hordes from the peaceful as has happened since Babel. The culprit in violating these natural forces, is once again government.

That about sums it up. “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If I’m damned regardless, I’m gonna bust some looters’ heads in to earn it”.
