I'm hoping that I don't have to speed around to my family and do what is necessary to protect them. We are not yet affected but it's getting closer to me and my family.
I'm sick of my country. These people are our future. What chance do we have?
you know i think america is sometimes only a step away from something like this to start happening.
well that rodney king shit was somewhat comparable in the early 90's. But this looks alot worse though

The LA riots of 92, started similarly. Police brutality on a minority Rodney King. It lasted 6 days $1billion in damages and 53 fatality's.
i can't help but think that this is going to happen in our country any day now and if it does it's going to be alot larger and worse than the situation in England.
This is the first time I've learned about any details of the riots, be them fictional or not. I swear American media only reports the violence, but not the cause
Well what I think is there are misguided and aggreviated people not only in this country but all throughout the world who wishes opputunities like this would happen so that they can do what they like under the facade of a 'protest' or a 'riot' and get away with it. Initially it sparks off with a small group but when the others like them find that they are effective, they contribute to the cause and it spreads like a chain reaction.
The lives of general law abiding civilians also gets affected a lot and they too become aggreviated and start their own riots which in turn only make matters worse.
That changes nothing much really. The desired effect has already been achieved and people are taking advantage of it. I just read that now they are targeting south asians and have already claimed 3 lives."Releasing the initial findings of ballistics tests, the police watchdog said a CO19 firearms officer fired two bullets, and that a bullet that lodged in a police radio was "consistent with being fired from a police gun".
