England riots

The police department should be passing out shotties to storekeepers, IMO.

It takes a special sort of human garbage to engage in this kind of mindless destruction.

Yes because having a gun war now would really calm things down.

Short term increase, but then that it would shut that sh** down.

These aren't Che's revolutionaries, people.  They're a bunch trash-can opportunists looking to update their wardrobe and have a laugh at the expense of people who work hard.  They're not going to fight to the death for an iPod or some Air Jordans.

At least this will probably give a short bump to the UK economy in a few months.  Destruction begins reconstruction, after all.

Yet others blame it on "gangsta rap and culture"... um... 1993 much?

"I once interviewed a boy who said 'just because I like the music doesn't mean I agree with the lyrics', which is true," says Prof FitzGerald. "But it may be a factor when it comes to those who may be particularly susceptible."

Must be the "underclass" he's referring to that's "particularly susceptible".

Yeah, pretty funny.  A bit of a strange aside, but I used to DJ, and I played a lot of the music that these rioters probably listened to (grime).

I guess I'm not particularly susceptible, since I haven't yet burned down my office.

What can I say?  I don't like the poors but I do like their music.
