We should probably be doing the same thing in DC.

I also want to comment on how much better the BBC news is compared to ours. By now, we'd have 20 pundits talking about who's the blame, and giving their political views on the situation.

Seemed to work the first time this country formed. I am against the looting though. That's just common thuggery.

revolution, with a shadow government in place, is slightly different than burning property and general, mindless destruction.

So which parts of riots in the USA are you advocating other than looting?
The burning of private buildings?
Attacking police?
Attacking people in another class?

Keep in mind you are referring to rioting....not a protest march.

Time to declare marshall law and shoot these mindless looting fckers on sight.

Re: London Riots
 

Sorry.....no guns. Perhaps they could Bobby-stick a few.....
