Riots in London

[wannaberocker]

So i guess there are Riots going on in London after police shot and killed a man. However, i think the bigger issues is that if Govt becomes your crutch. This is to be expected when they take away your free meal. It seems from the article that most of the riots are around people not having jobs and complaining that govt is not doing anything to create jobs. I fear this mentality is now in the USA and i hear people everyday say "why isnt govt creating jobs". When they dont understand that govt CANT create jobs, they dont produce anything.

The sad part is that they are destroying property and damaging businesses of other people who are also prob struggling to stay afloat. Mob violance and riots have to be the most stupid way of expressing yourself. You damage the proverty of people you claim your a part of.

Apparently riots started in same area where 80s unrest started that swept across various cities.

These photos show a terriible picture of north London in flames.

The Free Market isn't the best creator of Jobs either. They'd rather speculate and loot, with no regards to the general welfare...all about that "Invisible Hand."

Free Market is a general environment that needs to be there for jobs to be created. That freedom sure does allow alot more job creators to participate in diff ventures.

While I'm an ancap, this is the kind of crap that makes me think we are several hundred years away from achieving it.

What does sound money and the voluntary exchange of goods and services without government intervention have to do with riots in the UK?

Some of the people who were interviewed said the riots were happening because people are out of jobs and the govt is overlooking them. They feel that the govt should do "Something" in order to create jobs. But the reality is that govt dosnt create jobs its individuals in the free markets that do.

This has NOTHING to do with the economy.

This is a race riot.

I've been trying to follow this and still am not entirely clear as to what has been happening.

The MSM has been doing a piss poor job explaining.

Thanks RCA, I happen to agree.

Of course the end goal is a purely voluntary society, but that's centuries down the line, maybe millennium.

Take the vast numbers of those dependent on the state, and then, in one day, tell them, that's it, that's all, fend for yourself, the result will be, well, what you are seeing in Europe right now.

Or it could go the other way, the way it did when the USSR collapsed.

They just died.

The 'gangsta' gunman killed in shoot-out with police whose death sparked riots

And they are rioting over that, when the guy, if the reports are to be believed, starting shooting at them (how is that possible? guns are banned in the UK).

We have innocent, unarmed people gunned down, tasered and beaten down, with not so much as a peep, every day it seems like.

So maybe this was just the spark, maybe it is all about being out of work and broke.

I just found this. The BBC interviewed 2 girls who were rioting. The reporter asked them why they were rioting they said "its the govt fault. We want to show the police that we will do what we want".
"conservatives, its their fault".
"Its the rich people, its the rich people that have businesses. its about showing the rich people we can do what we want".
These ladies sound like Obama voters.

The interview is below. [video]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14458424[/video]

That's what kills me about the whole thing. The guy shot and hit a cop (who survived) and they blew him away. Happens all the time here. But the story gets twisted around like this guy is was prancing down the street singing show tunes and some angry cops decided to dust him, and all of London erupts. Now the Anarchists are jumping in on the fun too once they saw it get started.

I'll do my duty and volunteer to wear the eggs and tomatoes, but I hope the cops, and maybe some community street teams, take to the streets and sort out these rioters. They're wantonly destroying private property, attacking innocent bystanders and destroying the community and society. You can't let this disorder go unchecked or it's right back to the State of Nature.

Screw these rioters destroying property and hurting people for no reason. I don't care if they're poor or minorities or Anarchists living off daddy's credit card while going to some half-baked liberal arts college brooding about Marxism, aggression against people and property is NOT okay no matter what their perceived grievances are. Get some street teams out there and clear them out of the neighborhood.

Breaking News: Ghaddafi recognizes London protestors as legitimate govt of the UK. Ghaddafi said in a brief statement "It has come to my attention that London protestors are now in every zenga zenga (Road), I urge NATO to impose an immediate no fly zone to insure humanitarian aid can get to the people that need it the most"

Or let people own guns and use whatever force is necessary to protect their property.
