The things we say about Islam here on FR, could land us in jail over there.
Luck had nothting to do with it. Citizen patriots fought for that right and still do. But I get your point.
How many Japanese, German or Italian immigrants were allowed to come to the US or UK during WWII?!?!
A revolution of want, and hunger, and pestilence, maybe. Otherwise, let's just separate from them. They are lost.
And how are we to separate from them in a practical manner -- draw a line through the country and tell everyone to move to "their" side of the border? Call for a constitutional convention to dissolve the Union?
America's ideological split doesn't conveniently align with some natural regional difference, such as existed at the time of the Civil War. Left and right live cheek by jowl, all across the country, and cannot be physically separated without monumental dislocations to the entire populace.
No - we're only going to fix this country the hard way, and that is by undoing over a half century of Socialist infection that runs throughout our culture. You want your country back bad enough, that's the daunting task you must accept.
I see such posts on here from time to time, and think to myself that people who say such things are just venting their frustrations. I myself, have sometimes commented that I'd just like to revoke the leftist's citizenship and kick them out of the country, but I know that's never going to happen, either.
The way out is through.

Wouldn’t you like to throw a brick or two through a window some days?

WOW
It must have been your ancestors who burnt down my Loyalist ancestors trading post in Herkimer County
Just for the heck of it...
A sick man inside was burnt to death...
I have just got back from some of these areas (was coincidently in London for business) and I must say it was pretty shocking.
There is shops boarded up, burned out, junk all over the street.....as I was on the M25 (Motorway surround London) you can see many plumes of smoke.
As you drive through areas you can’t help but notice groups of mainly black youths loitering.....no doubt this is always the case but under the circumstances it looks pretty ominous.
Anyone out rioting in the streets wearing a balaclava or shemagh/keffiyeh to hide their identity ought to be detained for that alone... But there may not be a law that prohibits such action, so maybe it’s not in the cards (at least, not by “the authorities”).
Of course, that might not deter locals from protecting their own lives and property by using smashmouth techniques against anybody observed wearing such disguises in the street or while committing crimes...
It might require concerted action, for example small groups of two or three picking off stray looters one at a time and applying corrective measures... Turnabout being fair play and all...
And after the Revolutionary War, our founding fathers banned the Church of England, and those churches had to eliminate the place of the King in their religion, reorganize as the Episcopalian Church or leave the country.
NO MORON WE SHOULD NOT LET IT HAPPEN HERE! If America fails it will be political correctnes that does it. Look around and see what is happening here every day and tell me we are not on the same path as England!
Who the hell are you responding to? Certainly not me.

Acting out?
Bullshit. It's violent criminality.
Frustrated??
Bullshit again. I'm tired of hearing whiny, welfare eating ne'er-do-wells bitch about being "frustrated". I'm being forced at gunpoint to pay their sorry asses to do nothing, and they're "frustrated"? To hell with them.
Wouldn't you like to throw a brick or two through a window some days?
HELL NO!!!!
You sure you're on the right forum?
I suspect these rioters are the type who want MORE Gov’t in their day to day living, not less.
