riots

the recent riots in britian, and the increasing unrest of umemployed youths the world over, are symptomatic of deeper problems. http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20110813110405707 from the article: One of the many things that we hear repeated ad nauseam in the context of the present...

At a recent town hall on the health care issue, a group of right wing agitators attempted to storm their way into an already over-filled room and then started snivelling that they were assaulted. One creep appears to have torn his own shirt and scratched himself to support this claim. He was...

http://www.expatica.com/actual/article.asp?subchannel_id=25&story_id=33465 WTF is going on? How bad can things be in France that they have more riots every other month? Yes, I know it's not literally every other month, but it's often. Too often.

From this link: I've now heard that a deal has been made with the PCC gang such that there is a ceasefire. But....how could this be allowed to happen? A gang seriously challenging the power of the state (i.e. the police)?

This thought occured to me while watching CBS Sunday Morning today. They had a story about the riots occuring in France this past week. I fast forwarded through it, because I really, truly don't care. When they first started a week or two ago, I started to read the story in the WSJ (or NY...

Rachel Maddo (Air America) reported this morning that there are deadly riots going on in Nigeria right now, with something like 100 people killed. I haven't been able to find anything in my usual sources. Anyone else heard anything? The reason I found it noteworthy is that she said it was...

Emphasis mine, article from The BBC. A Nuclear equipped country facing a possible extremist Muslim insurrection? Great. I recall somebody a week or two ago (I've looked for the post and can't find it) saying that it was too soon to worry, because the sort of flag-burning we'd been seeing was...

Anger remains in French suburbs By Paul Henley BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continents Three months on from the riots which tore through the heart of France, Paul Henley hears worrying evidence that anger and resentment remain in the suburbs. Mimoun Belmir, an ex-policeman who now works in the...

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/12/13/australia.racial.unrest.ap/ I don't know what kind of powers they have in mind, but I think Spider-Man powers would be really cool, and very useful in fighting crime even after the riots are over. Another good suggestion would be the rock-skin...

I am almost expecting riots like in France to expand to other European countries. IMO, any country with high immigrant unemployment and significant discrimination is ripe for a riot. All it takes is a spark. I believe that the French riots could become a spark for other countries. I would...

Well, not quite panic in the streets, but This sounds very encouraging: Not quite as brilliant as it seems at first sight, since BT has no plans to convert everyone to fibre optic, which will give the real whizz-bang broadband services down your ordinary phone line, but given that 99.6% of the...
