Rioting Spreads To Third British City


Riots spread to a third British city on Monday night, with Liverpool the latest place to report looting and violence following outbreaks across London and in central Birmingham.

Liverpool police said a small number of vehicles were set on fire and reported some criminal damage.
British Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his holiday to fly home to tackle the violence, which politicians and police have blamed on criminal thugs and which come amid deep economic gloom in Britain.

PM cuts vacation short, rushes home; at least 215 people arrested in riots

What else can they (the British officials) call them except criminal thugs? They can't say that millions of their countrymen have lost all hope of finding work, feeding their families, even paying their rent (mainly due to their own governments policies). Or that the police stopping innocent people (the "Stop and Search" program the British have in place) and KILLING THEM has finally reached a boiling point. Trust me--- there ain't no white people getting "stopped and searched" in London. Bet your life (literally) that OUR government knows this same thing can easily and quickly happen here. Also bet your life they (OUR government) are planning for the same contingency. The big difference? We are armed.

Perhaps the people who are costing our schools billions, our welfare billions, our housing billions, and our law enforcement billions think that not enough is being given to them. Maybe they want someone to breathe for them.

Multiculturalism: implies a positive endorsement, even celebration, of communal diversity, typically based on either the right of different groups to respect and recognition, or to the alleged benefits to the larger society of moral and cultural diversity
