London Riots

[vince_moon]

After researching the London Riots, I think I have made my mind up on how I feel about it. I listened to a BBC radio broadcast, a woman was saying how the youths involved in these "protests", are not exactly violent. There are just misunderstood. She even went to say that they see this as a laugh, something to do. But we adults, see it as mayhem.

Thank you so much for commenting! It makes me angry that I cannot do anything about this either. All I can do is sit back and watch. So frustrating.

as a Brit, I can only say I am ashamed beyond belief that these idiots have been allowed to wreak such havoc and humiliate us as a nation.

It was not only kids unfortunately-and in truth, it boils down to a sense of entitlement that has arisen in many areas of our society-people who have taken our welfare state and turned it into a lifestyle choice.

Parenting is avoided at all costs by certain people mostly as they are still kids in attitude them-self, the idiocy and selfishness and utter lack of respect bothers the majority of us here and is something we have seen growing steadily worse for years.

The only glimmer of all this is those who showed up in the aftermath, brush in hand, to clean it up.

We are the ones who prevail, and perhaps now, our society and me me culture will be sorted.

Peace

Thank you for posting. It must be so difficult to live through this as you are now.
