The Idiotic Irony of These Riots

08,Aug,2011

For three nights now London has experienced some of the worst rioting and looting it has seen for decades.  Homes, lives, businesses and more have been devastated by a brainless, stupid, thugs… and that’s a kind description.

Some say it is because of the Police shooting of Mark Duggan.  Which we all know it a pathetic justification for such needless violence.  Being concerned against the death of a 29 year old man, and purposely going out to steal a TV and clothes from JD Sports does not make sense.  But then again, these people don’t share a braincell between them.

The most ironic justification is the economic situation.  Most of these lowlifes are on benefits, which due to the burdening economic situation is being reformed and for good reason.  Rioting, looting, vandalism, all costs money, which will only make the situation worse for them and put more strain on their already generous benefits.

The other ironic justification is that some claim it is because the Police do not understand them and doesn’t work with them.  But how can the Police work with people that burn down shops and trash high streets?  If this is how they act, these people are not mature enough, not civilised enough for the Police to build a relationship with.  If they continue to act like this then they have absolutely no basis on which to complain how the Police treat them.  The Police are protecting London, its people, its property and themselves against these scum who have no support.

I’ve not heard one person from these riots explain why they are doing it.  The reason is… because they can’t!
