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?

That is the stupidest comment I have ever read on this forum.

What you are saying is that these looters and anarchists that are burning the foundation of England's commercial structures are the English equivalent of the American Tea Party?

These scum suckers are the people who have been living on the public dole in England for generations and are just taking advantage of the situation to steal even more stuff from the productive members of the English society. And you claim they just want government to get out of the way of their daily living?

I'm hoping you were being sarcastic. If not, then I think you need to find a new forum to post to.

There is an overwhelming arrogance and selfishness that has infected our country.

100% true.

The only way to eradicate it is a revolution

A revolution of want, and hunger, and pestilence, maybe. Otherwise, let's just separate from them. They are lost.

Time for the police to “win some respect”.

Yup, at this point "ruthless" is the only winning strategy.

“This is nothing more than thug action.’

Comments on Youtube from Brit sympathizers say, “The gov’t had better start spreading the wealth around”.

There is a socialist component to this, maybe Barry is happy.

Just some of the US cities, and who’ll miss Detroit?

"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?"

I see human $cum, who never studied in school or worked on any job they ever had, going wild to get something for nothing from those who did study and work for what they got!

And when and if "governments got out of the way," I "wouldn't...like to throw a brick," I'd like to use old fashion American justice on that $cum - after 1st dealing with people like you who excuse & protect them.

Looking and reading, and thinking ... there are some enemies testing the waters. (do not think there should be a question mark). May need to move the threat level UP.

After the dust settles and the thuggiest of the thugs prevail, they’ll call it Cordoba.

But, you separate from them, and sooner than later, they are right back with us. Then those among us push for more “compassion” towards them. Then they start demanding. Destroying.

When does this looney cycle EVER stop??

I'd put odds that all Quadifi's agents in England have redirected their efforts to support these riots! He did threaten to take the war in Libya to England.

How long before he recognizes the London rioters as "the sole legitimate government" of England?

I suspect at least half were born there. If this happens in the US, most of the feral humans will be citizens.

I’d much rather give working, productive people a holiday. Then make a curfew and clear the streets of these leeches. “Shoot to kill” if we had the balls to actually do it. Of course our limp-wristed PC leaders will only make them angry.

It’s time for productive Americans to take back America.

Agreed......and citizens need to band together to protect their neighborhoods/businesses by fighting back. There are plenty of ways to make improvised weapons.
