Riots

Riots in England. Very sad, and where on earth are the police? Now they're bringing in more? Now Parliament is coming back from vacation? A faster and more stern response was required. These things spread like wildfire. Maybe it's going to require the citizens taking charge.

When looting and random violence and general jackassery takes place anywhere around the globe, the participating idiots frequently claim it's because they feel life isn't fair to them. What utter BS. Stealing a 50" television or a rack full of cell phones is neither a political statement nor will it improve your lot in life. If people truly lacking the means to get by were stealing food, I would have complete sympathy for them. Still a crime, but the reason for it is obvious. (There are tons of charitable organizations providing food, by the way. No need to start a rap sheet.)

This is another case where, when I see these dorkasses on the news, I really want to throw something at the television.
