People aren't connecting the dots or seeing the "big picture".
The UK riots are about looting stores now and UK youth getting their "free stuff".
It started off over shooting a known drug dealer but has turned into a consumer orgy of looting.
You're actually being serious, aren't you? A. the protest that happened in Egypt, Libya, etc. are POLITICAL PROTESTS. As in, they want to oust the current government. B. the mob that happened at State Fair has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. What it DOES have to do with are a bunch of idiots w/nothing better to do w/their time & no proper upbringing. So tell me, how can you even possibly attempt to tie all of that in w/our elections today & the unions?

The London riots are over a police action. London ain't Los Angeles, that crap would have been crushed instantly here.

1. the op did NOT mention egypy or lybia
2. the london riots are NOT over a police action(but did start with a pocile action in an effected area of the cutbacks), but over the FACT that the government is going on AUSTERITY and cutting back 'services'
3 the riots in greece, and london, wisconsin are ALL over FUNDING and SERVICES and CUTBACKS

Wharever happened in London is not a "demonstration" but DEMON stration!!"
How can you justify Police brutality when they are shot at and returning fire to shot and kill? Moreover, it was reported that he was a "hoodlum" with a gun. I just cannot comprehend nor understand why it is called police brutality when its job is to protect and serve the public and also members of the public?
Imagine if any of your family members were being robbed, raped or killed in the line of duty by some hoodlums which dont show any mercy , how would you feel? Victims that get robbed and etc are disgusted that the justice is not served when the hoodlums are being free just several years for thier violent crimes. How about hoodlum brutality? How come people dont demonstrate or protest that?
We were told that we must value lives and jail sentence is a modern solution to correct the hoodlum behaviour? But then the core values of law and justice is being ignored for the public and benefit the notorious few. But look at what happened - People just joined in not to demonstrate but to rob and loot because they know they would be treated with a slap on the wrist or with minimum sentencing.
And that is, members of the forumers - is called INJUSTICE!

I heard nothing about cutting funding for services being the reason for the riots in London.
Those bozos in Wisconsin are teens with nothing to do but make trouble and blame whitey for their problems because that's what they heard from their deadbeat parents at home.
Nothing to do w/politics. Can you explain your post?
It was social policy that led to it. When it became financially feasible for a women to have babies out of wedlock, you had a multi-generational situation of kids growing up without fathers.
Fathers are important. Without the guidance of good fathers, children, boys mainly, can become rather.......feral.
But look at what happen - People just joined in not to demonstrate but to rob and loot because they know they would be treated with a slap on the wrist or with minimum sentencing. That"S INJUSTICE!
The youth have figured out that there is strength in numbers and a less of a chance of them getting caught or their actions stopped.
And the youth here in the US have figured that out as well.
There is strength in numbers. And that works for both good and evil.
Sadly the youth are using those numbers for evil
