British Police: "We can't cope" (with third world rioters)

[Patriotic Army Mom]

It's just a matter of time in California. Or any where for that matter. All of those who want free stuff will think that this is their opportunity.

The rioting is not exclusive to the immigrant population- the reality on the ground is that opportunists come in all shades and national origins. Where there are no consequences, anything is possible.

I have watched the riots to try to see who the rioters are but I cannot tell who they are. The common blame is always on some minority or ethnic group. I can not tell who it is except the English leader, can't remember his name, said they are common criminals taking advantage of an opportunity. I know it started over the killing of a man by the police.

Anyone who does not think it can happen here is living in a fantasy world. I fear it would be much worse here because so many people have so much ammunition here.

But I can't get too interested in the London riot.

This stuff is going on periodically in the USA and various other countries.

According to what I gleaned most of the London rioters were teen age-rs, lots of whites, and the Turks were mentioned.

It seems that most riots have a common thread: break into stores and steal ! It isn't terrorists, not racism, but seemingly economic.

The Philly riot was a lot of teen age-rs. The Katrina, New Orleans plundering and robbing was black. The Virginia Bach riot was essentially black. The Watts riot was black. The Paris riot last year was Muslim.

These riots seem to have two basic elements: #!. Some complaint about some injustice of some sort sparks it; #2. Then the interloper opportunists climb on the band wagon, destroy and load up with store goods.

England has had some ferocious riots during and after a soccer game. We here have has the same after major championship sporting events like the super bowl. The Libyans, Egyptians and Syrians are certainly having riots but of a different sort - revolution.

So it seems that it is human nature for useful idiots to crate mayhem and chaos periodically.

There is usually a beneficial up side. Frances President began tossing the Africans and Muslims out of the country. Usually the rioters pay the penalty eventually.

The curious thing about the London riot was: no shooting, no tear gas; no water cannons, no nothing. Maybe they should have given the Bobbies pop corn, chips and beer while they spectated.
