I've never heard such a pile of bullshit in my entire life.

@fuuunkay Sure...I am just referring to those who use this excuse. I would send them into real poor countries with a kick in the arse, so they see what poverty and lack of rights is, never mind the latest pair of trainers or Ipod. They think they have only the right to take and never to give. I am italian and yet I have the deepest respect for this society and would run with a blink of an eye to help the UK. These people can't appreciate what they get, so it is time they learn!

WHAT A SILLY MONKEY.

[AnilBIG]

Bullshit! Basically it's everyone's fault except yours. You're not 'burning' footlocker and currys cause you're frustrated, you're Robbing them cause you can't be arses to get a job, and burning down Reeves family furniture store which has been in business since 1867!!

Turns out quite a few of these unemployed looters actually have jobs. So Mr Jasper do you still want to stand there and say these looters are looting out of frustration? Or do you want to back track and admit they are doing it for fun?

@m00se321 do you know why this is? because nobody gives a fuck about them, the government don't, the police don't, the middle class + don't, so calling them lazy is one thing but actually helping the Lower-income area's is another, we can sit back and say that they are lazy,and then not do anything about it, things have to be done in those area's and that's that, and all this rioting are people fed up of living in shit area's having to join gangs and deal drugs for money, cus that's all there is

its hardly an excuse to all the trouble that has occurred - fucking ridiculous man .. you talk alot of shit.

Historically in London many poor ethnic cultures have managed to work their way out of poverty through hard work and community. The impoverished Jewish community which once populated Brick Lane has now worked itself into affluent areas of north London, the Chinese community, once in Limehouse now has a Chinatown in central London. Indian, Sikh and Pakistani communities speak for themselves.

None of them ever felt the need to burn down their own neighbourhoods due to the racism they endured.

Ok so according to the blacks if you are in a bad situation it is never your fault and it is ok to take it out on innocent people.

How about hard and honest work to create a better life for yourself instead of just expecting it to be given to you
