There were lots of good reasons why we left there.

England needs a 2nd Amendment. When a police officer has to fill out papers in order to check out a weapon, he loses. When you have meeting with the politicians, trying to figure out what to do, you lose. They, and we, need to react to riots right now and sort it out later. Mistakes will be made but the people didn’t ask for the riots or to have their lives and businesses put in danger.

[Vinnie]

If these riots had taken place in America, the outcome would have been very different.

Uh, like Watts?

[bgill]

we need Oprah’s help out of this mess.

They are more than welcome to take Oprah off our hands.

Interestingly, we witnessed point number 3 this week. Mayor Nutter of Philadelphia’s speech was pretty much a call to stop the behavior.

“Yahweh is a useful tool in these situations”

And they wonder what is wrong with their country. God is not a tool.

[upchuck]

Very glad I don’t live across the pond. Look forward to the battle here. Ain’t gonna be pretty.

It also helps that many states have the Castle Doctrine. So if ten “urban youths” bust in your door, you are perfectly within your rights to cut all 10 of them down with a couple well placed shotgun blasts and all that's left for the authorities to do is haul away the bodies and pat you on the back.

If only England had the resolve NOW as they had in 1939!

Nothing like a dose of wood shampoo and buck shot and tear gas to get some ones attention. And after wards use the water cannon to wash down the mess. And before some one tells me I am over reacting, the NYPD has tear gas ready when ever there is the potential for any situation to get out of control. If it needs to be used it will.

[depressed in 06]

Americans better know, it is coming.

[blueunicorn6]

Put a bounty on rioters. Cheap and efficient.

[Lady Lucky]

America has the intellectual and emotional tools necessary to deal with this kind of social disaster

You think so. All I see anymore is a superabundance of scared rabbits. They pay their taxes, obey the police, entrust their children to public schools, avoid objecting to bathhouses and mosques and abortuaries, and they pass meekly through the checkpoints. They are almost ready for the showers.

When the police come for the guns, 99% of Americans will give up the guns rather than face the consequences of resistance.

[dhs12345]

Depends on which part of the country. If it happened in the cities, the police and National Guard would have sat on rears and would have done little. RE: LA riots.

Ironically, it is the cities where guns are controlled or banned outright. The people are at the mercy of the thugs.

The United Kingdom is soft on crime, hard on its citizens.

The good citizens of the UK must reclaim their land, now!

[adorno]

Oprah!?!!

Oprah would have made things worse by labeling those rioters as “victims” of the unjust society.

The Oprah’s of the world are what has been creating the problems with the dependent societies.

[Joan Kerrey]

Americans would have known how to respond to the violence

Yup, just spread the word to all the unions that a Tea Party mob is demonstrating in the streets and they’ll arrive in a large group of busses in record time.

[Publius6961]

I just don't understand why a computer generated graphics video has not appeared of rioters doing their thing (duplicating real-life news video) where the rioters are kicking, throwing large objects or flaming material at a shop window or building, then...
A red dot appears on the body of a rioter...

Bang
One rioter crumples.

Bang!
Second rioter crumples.

Bang!
Third rioter crumples...

Bang!
Fourth rioter crumples...

Repeat as necesary, until someone says,

Where did everybody go?

I figure the video need not be more than 15 seconds to deliver the message.

[DarthVader]

We Americans shoot to kill and ask questions later.
