The Olympics are another annoyance. Our local park, which “we, the people” own, shut for two damned weeks for the equestrian events.
With the amount of police we have though, I would seriously advise extreme caution if you want to come to the Olympics.

Apparently there is only one water cannon in the whole of the UK, and that is in Northern Ireland. Not that it matters. The RUC is the only force trained to use the thing anyway.

If I had a nickel for every FReeper who attributed these riots to Muslims, on these many threads and many articles that pointed out the contrary, I could pay off the national debt. . .

If I had a nickel for the same - I’d move to a saner country. Maybe Venezuela.

Unfortunately, I doubt that if you confiscated every nickel from every Freeper you could make much of a dent in the national debt.

“*Black* in Britain is not African descent. It refers more to middle easterners.”

In this case, “black” means “black”. The riots started in the afro-Caribbean community.

Then it has spread to other immigrant groups, plus white organized leftists getting in on the action.

"Rolling pins? Locking themselves in the basement? WTH??? Glad I have some serious fireworks for any mob willing to demand a demonstration of it."

At least in most of the USA, the shopkeepers can defend their shops. It may not end well because there are so many entitlement leeches, but it will be a fight.

Good for your street. Bad for your neighborhood. A sword, eh? Some of tabloid photos show whites, I thought it was mostly all black?

Started off black. Now other immigrants, leftist whites and general scum is getting in on the fun.

My hunch is that the group of about 150 who were going place to place doing arson were trained anarchists.

It is about 50:50 round here.

Lot of chavs that think they are owed for simply wasting oxygen. I am in a certified apprenticeship program - I take on 4 a year and try to teach them.
One has finished her apprenticeship in 8 years, and is now employed full time by me. She was in tears when we went to the workshop this morning.

This is one of the times when race doesn’t matter. Black, white, asian, muslim - it matters not. They are f*cking scum (excuse me please), who are killing the honest, hard working people because they haven’t clue one about living in a society.
One of the looters that I recognised from last night, drives a 2011 model car. How he affords it, I have no idea. My car is 9 years old ...

Clearly the authorities need to send in the combat sociologists to try and understand why office workers and other nonviolent people have so enraged the muggers. There could be a high loss ratio of sociologists, but the merits of that can be argued.

“When the vote doesn’t go your way, riot.”

Well, that’s my plan for 2012!

Even in Kalifornia we are allowed to defend our shops with guns. The main problem in defending a shop or home is fire. You have to setup a screen or zone around the shops/homes and keep the rioters away. Looks like some British were employing those methods last night using swords, pots and pans.

Do they — the chavs — have Dads or just single moms with a rotating set of boyfriends?
