England’s law-abiding citizens have become defenseless.

Sorry I replied just to your post which appeared to be in direct support of an earlier post that somehow one or two well placed shots to the head would have stopped the riots.

That post wasn't yours obviously but yours appeared to be 'Yah!' to it.

No problem. Thank you, si man.

I know you love multiculturalism, Danno. But it's got nothing to do with the riots. The rioters were not immigrants.

My point was that one of the down sides of rapid multicultural country is how disconnected everyone begins to feel and so people stand by while their country burns.

About 100 fires

If the public reaction is anything to go by people didn't "stand by"

london rioters are slackers.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The rioting was wider than London, for anyone who didn't follow the news too well.

What we have here is another example of how wholesale Multiculturalism destroys and fragments a country rather than create a place where the different... come together.

Even the latest generations of those from British stock feel disconnected and marginalized some even hating their own country and we saw them gladly take part in the opportunity to lash out.

Yes, The Multicultural dream is unraveling, but it's negative effects on the countries are widespread, long lasting, with no easy way forward.

Clearly those who ushered it in should swing.

The carnage has been characterized as one mostly perpetrated by a social class, and not a racial one (as your multicultural analysis seems to point to- and if not, then apologies), furthermore characterized even by people that tend to associate against multiculturalism en masse in the UK as one of a subcultural attitude shift in the country's youth- frequently targeting store owners of that same 'multicultural stock' you seem to criticize here often.

This same multiculutral approach is also becoming evident in the cleanup, where members of all races are pitching in to show the world and English society that hooliganism is not acceptable.

Perhaps it is the hooligans you should be criticizing? And these are racially what mostly? Multiculturalism indeed.

It's a mixture of things. The initial riot in Tottenham followed a peaceful protest, basically it was hijacked by extremists and street gang thugs.

The riots across the rest of London and in other cities were industrial scale shoplifting and vandalism. It's all driven by council estate youth via social media and the perception that they could get away with it. There's nothing political behind it, it's just the have nots acting out. Too many youths on benefits with no education and no jobs.

The British empire hasn't existed since WW2. Think you need to update your knowledge a bit, si man.

The burning is carried out probably by people that hate the multiculturals.

That's a hella testament to whitey's world. Just inject a few multi-cultis in there and we're all wimps.

If you are going to be racist, at least try to be bright about it.

Or better yet how about you spend a year or two in Watts and/or South Central LA and then come back and give us a report.
