What are your thoughts?

By the way, I have found a shocking video (I couldn't believe that this is my country):

    It's not riot hit UK, it's riot hit England. Bit unfair to lump decent countries in with the scumbags.

    It's calming down now but I don't think they should be encouraged to avoid the UK as a whole cause most places there aren't and haven't been any riots going on and are safe.

    It is shocking and this is what happens when people don't discipline their kids and literally let them run riot! Also I think it's a worrying sign that many people simply don't fear the police anymore and if the police can't control these criminals what hope do the rest of the law abiding citizens have?

    because of the fact, years in the past, their governments began giving them entitlements to stay in capacity. Now, those governments won't be able of arise with the money for those entitlements anymore, yet, the voters are starting to be so use to those entitlements they think of they're owed those entitlements. an trouble-free seem at our usa will demonstrate a similar ingredient. Social risk-free practices, as an occasion, replaced into by no ability meant to be a retirement plan for seniors. Medicare/medicaid have ballooned into some thing it replaced into by no ability meant to be. as quickly as an entitlement is in place, it particularly is almost impossible to eliminate it, regardless of if we as a rustic won't be able of arise with the money for it anymore.

    If it was in china, im guessing the police and militery would be firing real bullets if the same scenario happened.

    This is happening because people are not afraid of the police and the government. They believe nothing will happen to them when they get caught.

    I live in Cambridge, some people were going to riot last night on The Grafton center, but they all got arrested, to me that's hilarious.

    It'll all blow over soon, people have to sleep sometime, mind you if theyre chavs they'll all be cidered up anyway.

    Instead of a stiff upper lip you guys need to respond with a clinched fist and bullets. Take back your country.

    No, as it is only England that is affected. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are fine.
