English Riots

[wombatie]

I have just heard that riots have broken out in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich.  I was born in West Bromwich so I still have family and friends there and I am just heart broken for them.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the innocent people caught up in this mayhem.

Hey!

The riots have been going on since Friday.
They came up after a peaceful demonstration after a young man got shot by the police under unclear circumstances.

To understand what's going on there you'd have to know some facts:
-Policeman in England are not armed in general. So it must have been some special action going on there in which the man got shot.
- Also do have British citizens no ID-card. So a lot of illegal emigrants want to live in England.
- England currently has a high unemployment rate on young people.

The riots started in the workers suburbans of London. The police had quite some problems - because they do not have water cannons and do not use teargas in general too. So there is not much to get the crowd under control.

I think they will bring it back under control the next days/nights. It's not pretty at all.

Hummm
In the workers suburbs, fancy that!
I'll bet none of them were egged on by any union organizers. Naw that would never happen.
Would it?

What part of shall not be infringed, don't you understand?
