Yep, until we start deporting these third world animals back to the hell holes they came from this will continue.

I do not see it as collapse. I see it as a lot of people demanding their governments get out of the way of day to day living. Will governments get the message?

“I do not see it as collapse. I see it as a lot of people demanding their governments get out of the way of day to day living. Will governments get the message? “

Good point, although I think a lot of people are still sorting things out in their own minds about what is happening and why.

I hope, as you do, that more people on the fence finally conclude that big, super-fat, Sugar-Daddy government and the political class are not their friends and stand in the way of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen major riots in inner cities up to now.
I expect to see them in full swing when the teet suckers realize the gravey train is about to stop after the next election.
The Rise of the Tea Party and the dumping of the libs and RINO turds.

Man seriously ill after being shot in Croydon

That wasn't the bullet, that was NHS. It's probably safer to pull the bullet out with your fingers and cauterize the wound with a hot poker than go to an NHS hospital for treatment.

Sort of a libertarian uprising, huh? Rioting is an awesome way to get the government to leave us alone.

So let me get his straight..... you are seeing thugs burning and looting computers and TVs as just people trying to get across the message to government to get out of the way? Something is way wrong here.

I’m not sure how looting, rioting, burning buildings and stealing from your fellow man can send a message that govenments should get out of the way. This is nothing more than thug action.

The Tea Party is a better representation of people telling government to get out of their lives.

It's a bit of acting out, to be sure, but people are frustrated, don't you think? Wouldn't you like to throw a brick or two through a window some days?

Didn’t Great Britain disarm their police force?

Multiculturism, unrestrained immigration from third-world nations, Marxism/Leninism/Socialism, moral relativism, etc., have consequences. Europe is proof positive.

I think it is only a matter of time before this happens on a large-scale basis in our country. We’ve seen contained displays of it, but now that the ghettos are all connected on Facebook and Twitter, these riots can all be coordinated.

London is Burning ... US may be next
Ah, been there, done that ... going back to the 1863 NYC Draft Riots.
And you may recall, the only way to stop them was with armed troops shooting rioters on sight.
That technique also worked at Kent State and put an end to years of campus rioting across the country.

An aspiring cop-killer got gunned down in return fire.

Then people rioted about it.

Not seeing the connect.

It’s coming and will begin with “The Man Child” being dumped by a “racist” electorate and the subsequent cutting back of riders on the government gravy train by “evil rich white” people.

This will result in cries for “justice” from the uneducated and unemployed.

From the article:
Children aged as young as eight were reportedly seen fleeing shops with games consoles in Ealing.

Despite 6,000 officers on the streets of London alone, many residents reported a lack of police while marauding gangs were a law unto themselves.
Yup... Looks like a lot of people demanding their governments get out of the way of day to day living.

See ya, England.

Wonder what the rioters will call it?
