Talk about something the media has been trying to cover up. Unemployed youth are fed up and wrecking the place all over the UK. This has been going on for some time and has been massively supressed along with a lot of other bad news from Europe.This appears to have been shot last night.

That’s how I read the background to the news. This whole article baffled me entirely. I think you can blame our TV media sources for this even though most here wouldn’t budge from questioning their favorite news channel. That my friend is ignorant denialism and stupid pride as I always say here
One one hand I can sympathize with the rioters but then the innocents that get hurt, business owners, in the process are terrible to say the least. If anyone bothers to research more into the other side from the rioters it’s quite sad.
If the rioters in London want to make a political statement, burn down Parliament. But they aren’t politicos, just common looters and thieves. One would hope the locals would arm themselves to protect their property since the police aren’t doing shyte but standing and watching the city burn.
#32 The thing is, people here are bent over backwards thinking (to some degree of reality but mostly they’re just sheep) that the S is the worst place in the world because the other political team is ruining the country.
So when they see things like the ones going on in the UK, they feel their thought vindicated & in turn they feel good.
Shepple abound here.
#33 Time to be committed to a mental hospital. That white stuff coming out of your mouth is not frosting, is a rabies attack.
Seeing more of this on the news I regularly review now. Looting is one kind of hooliganism but setting fire is a whole different kind of evil. I can see giving looters a pass if I couldn’t stop them, but firebugs could be shot on sight. I see several 4-5 story buildings on fire with a map showing 15-20 locations of rioting with a fire symbol for the location. I assume there is not a building on fire at each location?
I admire our Koreans willing to shoot trespassers. Yes, there are situations where defending property with force is totally justified. Just before the apocalypse.

>> heres the thing – your all talkin out your proverbial asses.
>> it has nothing to do with unemployed youths, watch or read a news story once in a wehile instead of picking lumps of whatever out of your ass
This very morning I heard a London-based reporter saying the rioting was mostly being done by unemployed youths.
Looking out your window doesn’t make an authority!
These kid are not stupid.
They know there are no jobs for them.
They know their family will never afford the latest gadget.
They know the goverment is about to slash benefits.
They know about the corporation bailouts.
They know that class warfare is about to be imposed upon them for the corporate welfare.
They know the corporations hold riches unimagined.
They know the shirt and shoes in the shops cost cents in the 100 pound for human labour.
Why are people buffled about this?
Pent up frustration might make you burn and smash stuff, but it doesn’t make you a thief. Many of these people are just taking advantage of the chaos to rip off goods, no doubt stirred up by someone with a political agenda.
That said I agree with #46. Class warfare is normally instigated by the elites, not the poor.
#40 foobar,
The ‘protesters’ aren’t buying anything – it’s the home owners and residents arming up to protect what the political elites and police don’t seem willing or able to do.
All I hear from the UK MSM is bleating about poor backgrounds, disadvantaged & disenfranchised youths that have nothing to lose… and in part they’re right. If they though that they might lose their freedom (and become Bubba’s bitch in a nice small cell for a few months) they might think twice before going on a rampage.
Excellent, excellent article about England’s “Feral Youth” that are now rioting. Think “Lord Of The Flies” on the streets of England from an early age, but without any of the privations.

Wow!
Lots of talk and nobody has answered the question!!
Why has “the media has been trying to cover up.”
Simple. The media is afraid that the riots might boil over into America.
If you don’t like the message, suppress it. Welcome to Communist China.
It’s so obvious.
Great article, Drive by Poster.
That goes to the heart of the cause of the riots, and by extension why the media is under-reporting this in America.
These riots are the natural and inevitable result of “Progressive” policies.
England is overrun by these idiot Progressives, and this is the result.
Progressives don’t want to face the consequences of their actions, and specially don’t want us to see what is also happening here in the US.
