The problem is that blacks are much more violent than any other ethnic group. This has been known for many years. I remember back in 1972, seeing the FBI crime report for the first time (published in a magazine) that showed the number of violent crimes per 1,000 (or some such number) of population.
But the riots are not about race in a way, but some of the communities need to get real and not take every action the police make as an attack on them.
There is a major Gang and Gun Crime issue going on within the black community. There I said It !! and it's taken root in other communities as well. If the community does not accept it, how can they fix it?
We keep hearing the same thing; they are nice kids, my son would never do this, he would never do that... then what the hell are they doing with guns and knives on them all the time. It's like parents have become blind. this is happening with kids across all communities but as soon you say something it becomes a race issue and they see it as an attack.
We have seen over and over again people get shot on the news both white and black, but because this was a black guy that got shot suddenly it's the police fault no matter what so they must answer and the community must demonstrate.
Even if he didn't shoot back, what was he doing with a gun in the first place? why was he running?
Other people have been shot and killed by police because it "looked" like they were carrying a weapon, nobody protested over that but because he is "black" the community has to protest. Then all the kids with nothing better to do use that as an excuse to go out and steal the latest HD TV or Nike shoes. Ask them why they are doing it " we are upset".. what are you upset about? " don't know, we are just upset..dohhh, the government "
it's crazy!! We have a generation growing up that simply think they are untouchable. Laws and government has taken away any authority that in most countries would keep this kids in check.
The police can't touch them and they know it, teachers - school, it's all a joke to them. And the parents... more and more of them would rather defend the bad kids then take responsibility and discipline then. You see the videos, some of these kids look as young as 13,14... and they are looting and smashing up shops.
The idea Going to prison gives them nothing more then celebrity status to their friends. it will be a holiday camp for them.
They have arrested over 200 people and only charged 25 so far. You can imagine most will get nothing more then community service;
"Blood, I got me 3 weeks you know for dat ting and I got me these nice trainers blood"
"That an't nothing blood, I got me 4 months blood cleaning the street blood. Yo I got me 5 HD tv's, Xbox, ps3 and nough trainers blood. 4 months doo and my sis is keeping the stash at her yard, ya get me blood,lol"
Bring back National service, let them serve as punishment and ship them off to Afghan to go fight. They think they are men, they think they are Big men. Let them go and throw petrol bombs at the Taliban instead of some poor shopkeeper or someones family business that is providing income for many families in their community.
oh, in case anyone asks, yes I am black. I live 5 min from Tottenham high street (west green road to be exact) where this all started. Been following it all night and I have seen some of the damage done with my own eyes.
All those people crying about how we live in a police state, well now we have one with no police or not enough of them. Maybe we should try supporting them more instead of having a go at everything they do because the alternative is let everyone do whatever they want and clearly we can see what the kids would like to do.
