4. I would hope we'd be smarter, but given some of the threads here

supporting the riots, who knows.

5. The American people arent any smarter than all the other countries that

are revolting. We, like them, will wait until too late and then violence will break out. I dont condone violence nor do most on DU unlike your claim. Many talk about revolting but not violently. We need a movement now or we will end up with violence.

7. Here's one thread about supporting the London riots.

I've read other comments with similar sentiment. If you look a while, you will see what I mean.

Peace.

14. Thanks for the link. I hadnt seen it. And I wish for peace also, but...

when our corporate overlords start to deny us our right to be free, then we have to act. So far I cant see a way to use "the system" against them. They own "the system".

I neither condone violence nor think it will be successful, but it's inevitable when people realize they have no alternative.

6. No jobs, austerity programs and large ethnic communities.

The riots could well happen in the U.S. withing a couple of years. Go teabaggers!

3. Holyshit!

Now what could have cause all that anger? Were they searching for The Rupert?

8. If these 'riots' were happening in wealthy areas, they'd have lasted 5 minutes

Something a little strange about all this

9. Clapham, Croydon and Ealing are wealthy areas.

13. Looks like Detroit, 1967

And some of the damage still isn't fixed.
