That is one way of looking at it. Another way is this:
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said on Tuesday that ballistic tests presented "no evidence" that a handgun found at the scene where Mark Duggan, 29, was killed in Tottenham had been fired at officers. So the police lied about Mark Duggan shooting at them and that they shot him dead for that reason. The cops have obviously killed this fellow in cold blood or they wouldn't have lied about it, would they? We all know the police will get away with it as they always do, don't we? The police drew first blood, as Rambo would say, didn't they? And as Billy the Kid would say. Reap the whirlwind
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The Duggan case was merely the spark. The kindling has been getting dryer and dryer for quite a while. As we shall see here in the US in less than 18 months. By the way though race certainly played a role in the initial rioting, what's happening all around England now has a decided class base with all races joining in.

Don't get thinking that the cops are not filling their jack boots.

Massive rises in taxes and VAT in Britain plus increases in prices of goods in the shops as a result of international commodity prices. This has been coupled with massive cuts in public spending, cuts that have been targetted at certain areas - lower income areas such as Newham and Waltham Forest in east London have had massive cuts of almost a third, whereas rich wealthy areas such as Kingston-Upon-Thames and Kensington And Chelsea have had barely any cuts imposed at all.
And at the same time the new Mayor Of London has made large cuts to the number of police on the street. All this has led to the widespread public disorder of the last 4 days. And at the same time people see news reports of the Primeminister enjoying a £4000-a-week holiday in Tuscany. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXcI-NL3T......ed#at=37 Terrible I guess. But all I can think of when I see that video is the song "Up the Junction" by Squeeze. lol "I never thought it would happen, with me and the girl from Clapham, out on the windy common, that night I ain't forgotten. When she dealt out the rations, and some or other passions, I said "you are a lady", "perhaps" she said, "I maybe be". They're Up the Juntion allright. |

Some of you have forgotten about Detroit, 1967. There were tanks in the US streets.
