It WILL happen here, and the liberal apologists will find something to blame it on. We got guns though

Yep.

Tea Party protests: violent!

Actual riots: Understandable and Justified.

We also have riot police and the National Guard.
Over there they are still deciding whether or not tear gas is warranted

The public is angry that the police aren't doing enough to stop the looting and burning and beating up of people.

http://news.yahoo.com/british-police...160745566.html
"Britons swept up, patched up and feared further violence Tuesday, demanding police do more to protect them after three nights of rioting left looted stores, torched cars and blackened buildings across London and several other U.K. cities.
..
Police in Britain generally avoid tear gas, water cannons or other strong-arm riot measures."

Do Jews do this in Germany? Because they have just as much justification if not more than these people.
I love the passive interpretation of world events here. In the minds of some, it's as if there was no history at all. BTW...I'm responding to those who complain and whine about "immigration" and "multiculturism." I still say, if the British hadn't of broken up the Ottoman Empire, and sliced up Africa like a delicatessan, these problems wouldn't exist on the level that they have exploded to.

BTW..the Jews responded by creating Israel. Perhaps you should talk to a few Palestinians about it.

Why don't you just be honest and say you approve and support the "rioters"?

Just be honest!

ROFL..now you have Iran telling the UK what to do.
Listen to their requests ? These are poor unemployed youth looting for free stuff. That's their "request".

UK Riots Live Blog | Al Jazeera Blogs
"Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the British government should "exercise restraint", avoid using violence and instead "talk to protesters and listen to their requests", the official IRNA news agency reported."

And you seem to think that is a direct cause of a riot in London. It's not. Again, conscience does not extend to ancestors.

You talk about mistreatment in the past yet you gloss over the fact that Britain is one of the most generous welfare states in the world. There are plenty of people who have it MUCH worse off than these guys. They're not rioting.

There are still Jews in Germany. And the rest, they went on their own instead of complaining. I'm not even going to get into that whole Israel situation, but did they sit there waiting for handouts and throwing a fit when they didn't get everything they wanted?

the odds are heavy in my favor that you CMK, will be a middle working class person your entire life. you will not marry into the elite because they won't let you. your stuck where you are, unless you can jump up a class, which is rare.

this applies to the poor class as well. they will be stuck where they are unless they do something to jump a class, which again is rare.
It's not possible for you to be more misguided.

They exist on the level they have exploded to for one reason. Britain has allowed massive immigration of uneducated immigrants, and then raised them as spoiled children.
