I can hear it around xmas.

Tis the season to be looting fala la la la la la la.

All your malice, hate and frustation. fala la la la a la

Your lack of humanity is not amusing....shall I continue?

I'm tired of shitbags of all races creeds and colors doing this. You are not starving and stealing food. You are not being oppressed. You are spoiled fuckers poor or rich looking for fulfilling greed. Period. This is not change.

You want to riot for change. Do so with a reason. Looting is wrong.

That's strange, because isn't Japan the country where Yakuza gangs do whatever the hell they want, and signs need to be posted on trains to tell people not to grope each other?
