Yeah, it seemed more cautionary and a bit more obscure in 1999.
LIke another poster stated: how long before the Obozo administration recognizes the rioters as the official UK government?
Poor Queen. What will become of her and hers? Probably a Romanovesque fate awaits them at the hands of Britain’s new anarchial leaders, their hands all greasy from fish and chips.
Even the police recognize them as legitimate.
What nation will clandestinely slip in armaments? Since Mr. and Mrs. Obozo now despise the Brits and love the Frogs it may be the USSA.
Oh, yeah you can bet these are decent, productive, law-abiding citizens out there attacking the police and people.
Are you an idiot?
I've often wondered, with some posters, if they were anarchists masquerading on FR as "libertarians."
But I do know from history that "anarchists" always prove to be communists, once the government is toppled.
So, I could see why one of these would see looters and arsonists as comrades.
"See, I told you so."
[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?]
No, I wouldn’t. I don’t see how damaging property solves anything.
The anarchists are useful idiots who are done away with , once the Communists gain power.
That's it. You've unmasked me. Drat. And I'd been doing so well.
Property like tea?
Bingo! I was hoping to hit a button to get you back to face the heat.
Bingo! I was hoping to hit a button to get you back to face the heat.
Here we watch a country's buildings being burned to the ground, it's native citizenry beaten, robbed and murdered, all do to its immigration policy.
And do you think there government will change that policy after this? No.
Do you think Washington will change ours? Of course not.
What are we to do if we don't wish to be killed in our homelands by invited barbarians?
“...the 1863 NYC Draft Riots.”
The NYC Democrat Riots were only stopped by bringing in troops who had been at Gettysburg and using warships cannons.
The Democrats were trying to kill every Black they could get their hands on, including the children in the Negro Orphans’ Home.
Kent State, on the other hand, set off the shutdowns of thousands of universities across the nation and assured the victory of the Anti-War Movement. But those shooting were not planned and, like most unplanned things, did not accomplish what was intended, but it’s opposite.
There is a difference between a demonstration and a riot. Firing on the demonstration, much like all those before and after, turned it into a riot. Dumb mistake on the part of the Guard.
Not the same and you know it.
These "punk kids" (an awfully light term I'd say), aren't England's "own".
These riots are pure thuggery by the ticks who were created by the welfare state. It’s a bunch of angry young men who were raised by single mothers on the dole. One of them even said “We’re redistributing the wealth.” as he was looting.
If the shop owners were armed, this would have been over days ago. The British police should be shooting these criminals. If government won’t fulfill it’s first duty, which is to protect life and property, then civilization will collapse.
Coming soon to a nation near you.
It's not impossible for them to play both sides: some staying to protect their own, while others go out and play.
No Glenn, I don’t have days like that.
Destroying other people’s dreams is not my way of getting what I want.
Marching on city hall and demanding action would be. If any violence were to take place, that’s where it should, but even then you’re destroying something that will have to be rebuilt at the cost of you, if you’re working, or some other poor slob who’ll get stuck with the taxes to do it.
Massive peaceful protest is the way to go.
Bring things to a halt by peaceful means. Make demands.
Where do you get the idea that these are merely people who are fed up? Hell, a lot of us are fed up, but do we burn down our neighbor’s businesses or loot their stores?
These are criminals.
