London on fire.. How long till it happens here?

[fuzziebutt]

I agree that it should have happened log time ago here, but it's just easier to complain about it. We don't even have to leave our homes to complain anymore. But, are the London police armed? Usually, they are not. Ours are armed, and will use deadly force quickly.

The masks are cheap, you can buy them at any Halloween shop. The case would be easy enough to make from a bathroom cabinet and paint the glass with whatever message you want.

Yep, a shadow box, a Guy Fawkes mask, and some paint, and you are prepared for a revolution! Plus a little mallet to hang on the case.

This really makes me want to go and watch V for Vendetta

I doubt rioters would make it to our obscure little town, but if they did...

00 buck, .40 S&W, and 7.62X54R all send a very clear message. All very loud, all very frightening, and all very lethal.

Question: How long till it happens here?
Answer: As soon as the Government cuts off Welfare and Subsidies.

Untill then most people have it pretty easy compaired to real poor people.
Why would they complian and riot when they live pretty much for free.

Poor people in America get:
Food stamps
TANIF
WIC
two free school meals a day
take home back packs -food
weekend back packs-food
soup kitchens
food pantries
energy/fuel assistance
Free cell phones?
Thanksgiving dinner
Christmas dinner
christmas gifts
school supplies
Medical
HUD -housing
Medicaid also has mileage reimbursement

Thats all I can think of at the moment,so why would they riot if they have all that...Its when they lose it that they will realy lose it....

Uh, I guess Rodney King Riots never happened then. And before that there was the Watts Riots. That's just in California.

You are right fat, happy people do not revolt.

Do not forget SSI for being a drug addict or alcoholic.

How sad. The people who are most likely to revolt will be doing it for the wrong reasons. The rest of us get the joy of being the enemies of both the potential rioters and the government.

And people wonder why I'm so cynical.
