HERE IS THE MAJOR LESSON (this country better be prepared):

Karagoz tried to explain another feature of these riots – why Turkish and Kurdish youths had generally not joined the looting.

- "We have businesses and work hard for what we have. As parents we want our children to work, earn money and be able to buy what they want, not steal it. Our young people know we would be ashamed of them if they were doing this."

[TigerClaws]

Reminds me of the Korean shop owners with guns waiting for rioters in Los Angeles.

When it really goes down, cops run the other direction.

Amazon UK baseball bat sales are up 50,000%...

You mean, raising your kids to honor hard work and respect the rule of law ACTUALLY WORKS?!?!?

I’m SHOCKED! SHOCKED!

' the police asked us to do nothing'

I think I recognize a big part of the problem.

The Second Coming
by Wm Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

1920

They haven’t been fed the lies that white people or joooooooos took from them or owe them anything.

[Texas Eagle]

What! The concept of self-defense is still alive in Britain?

Heads will roll for this!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully, the Second Amendment will help decent people keep this kind of commie crap under control once it begins here. Thank God and the Founding Fathers for the Second Amendment.

They sound like Americans!

[SMARTY]

Listen up America!!!!

[ScottinVA]

the police asked us to do nothing

Doesn't surprise me. In the UK, you're also told you should simply flee if your home is invaded.

I say... HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL No!!!

Interestingly this is how feudalism replaced the Roman Empire. When the government could no longer protect the towns against the raiders, the locals started building walls and setting up militias. After a while they realized that they could not only stand off the raiders, but the tax collectors as well. Maintaining roads became a liability to the locals, as it just let the tax payers and raiders move faster. So the roads were allowed to fall to ruin.

We are coming into a new dark age. Not exactly like the last one. But as central governments can no longer provide the goodies you will see more and more local strongmen ignoring increasingly impotent central authority. It might take the form of sanctuary cities for the leftists, or rejections of Obamacare on the right. But in either case the message is clear. Locals standing at the border raising a one finger salute to the central government.

But the police did not do anything so, as more came, we chased them off ourselves."

Like any pack of feral, knuckledragging animals -- they'll tuck tail, screech in terror and bound away when challenged.

I’ve been watching the BBC.I’ve seen the deputy prime minster run out of a neighborhood by shop owners.The same with that A-hole mayor of London.

THANK-YOU for making morning, day!

The staff from a local kebab restaurant ran at the attackers, doner knives in their hands. "I don't think they will be coming back," Karagoz said.

[AD from SpringBay]

Something I’ve wondered about and haven’t seen discussed is the London Cameras. A few years ago London installed cameras everwhere. What good are they? Are the tapes going to be reviewed and will the rioters be brought to justice? Or are they merely for observation for other purposes?

My neighbor’s car got stole last night right out of his driveway
We heard the dog ‘a barking, we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm wondering if it’s time

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

Last week a government man was there when I walked out of my back door
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am” it don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

Mary says she’s worried about herself and her kids
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me ‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebodys gotta walk into the crowd and I wanna be that one

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

Hear, hear!

Kudos to the Turks/Kurds for not allowing themselves to be intimidated by a pack of feral animals, and even more so, for not heeding the stupid advice of the ruling class.

Hopefully, the British can learn a lesson from these folks; grow a damn spine, and stand up for what’s right.

Oh, and raise your kids right. A little sense of honor and propriety never killed anyone.

"I'm scared that the police and the government will attack us if we defend our businesses. "We are being squeezed between the two."

Know your enemy.
