What is the common denominator?

A completely unarmed and helpless population. The leach class has suddenly realized that they do not have to wait around for government subsidies, they can just take what they want from whomever they want and no one can stop them.

Forced to strip naked in the street: Shocking scenes as rioters steal clothes and rifle through bags as people make their way home

"This is the shocking moment a young man is apparently forced to hand over all of his clothes after appearing to be stripped naked during lawless riots overnight.

Internet rumours last night claimed that on top of the widespread destruction across London and Birmingham, people were having their clothes removed by looters as police attempted to contain the criminality."..................



"Humiliation: A young man is forced to strip to his underpants in the street, having apparently already handed his t-shirt and trainers to a looter. There were unconfirmed reports last night of victims being made to strip in Deptford, south London, and in Birmingham"

I have no sympathy for the English. This is a problem of their own making. They have castrated their society and allowed PC to run amok. This is what we are to witness next right here in America.

So would it then be proper in America to be sympathetic to ourselves when this happens?

I’d say they’re a few days late in using real cannons. Like the 20mm type.

I remember an interview on TV years ago here in Los Angeles with a young, black, single mother with five kids in tow. When the reporter asked her what she did for a living, she simply said, “I take the check”, meaning of course, the monthly welfare check.

You are right. The Flash Robs that have been taking place are just a start, though they have only included handfuls of youths. If they grow, and include more of the non-working entitlement crowd, they will adopt a pack mentality and the destruction will grow accordingly. Summer is not over and I just bet there are factions here who are watching the British riots and getting ideas. We are never safe from people who have no self-discipline, cannot control their anger, and have nothing constructive to do.

The blogging leftists claim this is nothing but teaching "the rich" a lesson in sharing. They're giving a "kudos" to these low life welfare thieves. To the dependent democrat base, these anarchists animals are heroes.
It won't be long before the welfare flash mobs in Philadelphia and other liberal cities come to your home town. Luckily, in America, some areas still have the Constitutional right to defend themselves.

You make it sound like the NYC "Democrats" - who were in fact probably 99% Irish immigrants (including my gg-grandfather) - rioted against blacks. While many were victims, the real targets were gov't officials and any civilians who had anything to do with the draft or supporting same.

You are also sadly mistaken with regard to the Kent State "demonstrators" as you call them. From Robert Bork's Slouching Towards Gomorrah [emphasis mine]: "Demonstrators" my @ss.

Could you perhaps clarify your position regarding your original two comments?

These "punk kids" (an awfully light term I'd say), aren't England's "own".

You better take a look at the video's that are coming out. As much as some would like to blame it all on foreigners this is just not the case.

“...Didn’t Great Britain disarm their police force?...”

No, Great Britain’s POLICE FORCE disarmed their own Citiz..err, SUBJECTS.

And this is what happens.

Ya gets what ya settles for. And they’re getting what they settled for right now.

Hey Brits:
This is your reward for letting your government disarm you. All you “law-abiding” British SUBJECTS are now at the mercy of the thugs. Your property smashed and stolen, your lives and your families, well, you can’t even protect them anymore.

But don’t worry. Your “government” will protect you....maybe...as long as the thugs aren’t of the protected professional victim class.

Bet it sucks to be a Brit right about now.

Bright, shining crystal-clear example of why we should NEVER submit to being disarmed. By any means necessary, resist it.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Well, when I lived there twenty years ago, it was true. Beat cops didn't carry sidearms. Being an American, I thought that was pretty strange.

When I visited Paris back then, the cops all had sidearms and carried military grade rifles.

The exact wrong people are uprising. What’s left of the “real” British are sitting idly by pissing in their tea. Hopefully this will wake them up.

Well, they're gonna have a hard road back. They already let their government disarm them some years back. Intense, and sustained protests demanding a restoration of the British RKBA is in order.

I've seen them. The ones released by the Daily Mail and BBC. Now you think our media is PC? The British media is that times 100. They could have 50,000 videos of all immigrants and 4 with a mix, and they'd only release the 4.

Plus, Britain is still 95% White. So proportionality is even more of a factor there.

Are these riots 95% British to 5% Middle Eastern/African? No. 80-20? No. 50-50? No. I'd be shocked if it was 15-85.

And where did they start, and why? And would they even have had them if they didn't bring them there in the first place?

I read in another thread today that Wikileaks had tweeted that Libya had recognized the rioters as the legitimate government of the UK.

I didn’t know Quadafi had threatened to take the war in Libya to England so I thought it was satire. There is a certain terrible logic to it.

Whether or not “NATO” should have interferred in the civil war in Libya—especially when Quadafi had been giving us info on al Qaeda and at least some portion of the “reformers” in Libya are al Qaeda—the west had better face up to the fact that we are in a war.

Maybe when we get a real president, we can stop interferring in civil wars where both sides want us dead and actually fight these terrorists as the invaders they are. I hope.
