BBC News - In pictures: Riot in Tottenham

Been following this one for a while, anyone else? Bloody mental out there.

There seems to be much unrest all over the world these days. Might it have something to do with the awakening of awareness in mankind? Through evolution, fight or flight, and other survival necessities mankind has been conditioned for millennia. Most people's life experience has been a matter of reacting to various stimuli in daily circumstances of 'survival'.
Perhaps now we are starting to witness the awakening from that 'sleep' or 'dream' of life that most have been led to believe was reality. They do not know how to handle it, people's emotions run rampant, they haven't yet learned to understand what their feelings are all about and react the way they have always done through conditoning.
We cannot help others until we have learned how to master our own insecurities/thinking/emotions. So awakening of intelligence may be on the horizon ... but it will not be evident to scoffers and those deeply immersed in the dream of conditioning.

Dunno why we are all so surprised. A large proporion of this is deliberately orchestrated using the underprivileged immigrant youth from these areas. In some way you have to feel sorry for the majority of them if for no other reason than all the faciolities to keep them off the streets have just been closed through cut-backs. On the other hand, if we set standards for all the youth and stuck to them then perhaps it might not have happened. It is no use blaming technology for making it easy to call up flash crowds.

I have just been talking to my nephew in London who says it was nothing to do with the shooting of the robber who died, but was orchestrated to loot the shops.

The second night incident appears to have the same MO.

The press are now telling the same thing, and also it appears that the guy who died was involved in some sort of gun related crime which is why they shot him. His family, by all accounts, were leading a peaceful protest which was hijacked by "professional protesters"
Why don't we have a prison on Rockall, I wonder?

From what I can gather, the following happened:

Man ended up shot by police, press release says he began taking shots at them first, but eyewitness accounts say he was unnarmed and on the ground - so people go demonstrate outside police station for answers, scummy bears get wind of the situation and basically use it as an excuse to hijack it and cause chaos.

Get the army in I say.

[Albert Lionheart]

All they needed was an excuse. I wonder how many of them have a right to be here?
And sadly our army are all in either Afganistan or Libya.

There must be reserves somewhere, surely? Man, that can't be good.

They're monitoring BBMs to try and figure out where the mob are going to be next. Seems to be effective.
