Thankfully the country appears to have got it's shit together tonight. There is less evidence of violence, looting and rioting in the media so far this evening. I hope this situation continues. The underlying triggers for this shit are unclear. There is an element of mass hysteria, easily transmitted by social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook. There is also a sense of disenfranchisement with society among a lot of people.
If you go to a shit school where everybody treats you badly, people kick your ass regularly, you're surrounded by drugs and a macho-asshole culture and you enter a job market with no qualifications or skills life is difficult. And if you then get your benefits cut the world gets a whole lot worse. At some point there will be an explosion. I went to a fairly shit school but my life has been a lot better than many of those poor fuckers that have been going mental down south.
I'm not making excuses for violence. A criminal is a criminal and a crime is a crime. Most of there people deserve some form of punishment and hopefully they will be brought to justice. I'm just saying that I can perhaps imagine why these people are acting like dicks.
The news coverage and the human stories have been horrifying. It's all bad but the story that got to me the most was that of the three young Muslim men who were randomly murdered with a car as they stood in the streets trying to safeguard their mosque. The father of one of the men ended up trying to resuscitate his son at the roadside. Words cannot express how sorry I feel for that father and the rest of their community. The world is full of fucking idiots.
The idiots appearing on the television have been spectacular. The two feckless, stupid girls admitting to looting because they are 'showing the police we can do what we want'. The subnormal man from Salford who was rioting because of the 'Polish coming over and taking our jobs', King fucktard, Nick Griffin, the snivelling leader of the BNP trying to incriminate people with slightly different skin tones. Britain is full of wankers.
So, what's going to happen now? Are we heading towards a police state? Will things get worse? The government is failing at the moment and I don't see how things can improve without more money for police and society. I don't know where that money will come from. I don't think any of the other parties could improve things.
That's enough moaning.
