I'm not saying these riots are justified, because they never are.

these riots are deffinately 100% not justified.
but what if it was a riot by the general public trying to remove corrupt leadership? would that be wrong?
the revolution in egypt and libya and other middle eastern countries trying to remove dictatorship...is that wrong?
because the ONLY way to remove corrupt leaders is with violence...peaceful protest will get you nowhere you need to force them out
but still these particular riots are just criminals and yobs fighting for no reason and stealing and looting and destroying

Crikey, you can count me out of that Fascist paradise.
Army on the streets, mass arrests, internment camps and deportation? That is what my grandparents spent 6 years of their lives fighting against, not for.

Young people in Egypt and Spain protested peacefully and had a cause. They had the backing of local communities who helped provide food and water. I just can't believe how the young people of my own country are behaving.
Well said.
Ghandi said "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent."
"Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man."
Clever man Ghandi

No, it won't help.
But that's the nature of the beast- this evil rage. It won't be directed, it will just be- it is just being. It's like a frenzy that will have to play itself out. I don't think it can be controlled when it's really let loose, and it looks, to me, like it has been.
How long it will go on depends on how much is bottled up and how pure the evil of the anger is. It's all greed, but it's a symptom of a societal problem where people do not feel part of the group- they do not feel ownership of their neighbors- they do not CARE anymore. No one has really cared about them, if they had, they would have set them straight and gave them some one to look up to, to want to make proud, and some thing to have some self esteem and decency for.
USA is getting primed for it too. Too many teens and 20 somethings just milling around, trying to bum some beer or smokes. Idle hands and all...it's bad.edit on 9-8-2011 by hadriana because: (no reason given)

Just think about it.........: We are drawing closer and closer to 2012 and all of a sudden more and more violence, war, demonstrations, etc. keep happening and keep turning nasty and ugly with many deaths, injuries and a hell of a lot of damage.
It started in the Middle- East and now it's spreading to Europe and then it will have spread across the world!
Hell yeah, there are some big ass puppet masters orchestrating everything! For what reason? No idea! Money , Power, Land, Oil, etc.! I can't think like them so i cannot be sure of the reason why they want us to kill ourselves!edit on 9-8-2011 by KhaliWitch because: (no reason given)
