Time To Sanitize The Gene Pool

The wealthy Manhattan real-estate agent who was hit by a shopping cart that police say was dropped four stories by two 12-year-olds as she was buying Halloween candy for underprivileged children will “in the best of cases” be in rehabilitation for months, her husband told the New York Post.

Marion Salmon Hedges has been in a medically-induced coma after she was struck in the head by the falling cart on Sunday while walking outside a Target store with her 13-year-old son in East Harlem, the paper reported.

“It’s still too early to tell with neurological issues,” he told the newspaper. “Every year on Halloween, 1,000 kids come to our block from less-privileged neighborhoods and we spend $500 to $600 on candy for them and that’s what she was doing—buying candy for those kids to do something nice for the community.”

The two young suspects were telling jokes and laughing with each other after they were taken into custody, police sources told the newspaper.

“They were just doing it for fun,” one law enforcement source said of the alleged crime.

The suspects were reportedly charged in Family Court with assault as juveniles.

The victim’s father-in-law, Michael Hedges, said prosecutors should “throw the book” at the two boys.

Hedges, a 47-year-old mother of two, works for Prudential Douglas Elliman. The New York Daily News reports that she is a volunteer at the Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center and also very active in her church.

The pint-sized perps were smiling, telling jokes and laughing with each other after they were taken into custody, police sources told The Post. At one point, suspect Raymond Hernandez of Harlem started crying like a baby — but clearly only because he got caught, not because he felt any remorse for leaving the victim near death, the sources added.

“They were just doing it for fun,’’ one source said of the horrendous cart-pushing stunt late Sunday afternoon outside the Costco on East 116h Street in Manhattan.

The boys had been part of a group of hooligans tossing Slushees over the 3¹/2-foot high railing of a parking-level walkway outside Target earlier in the day, cops said. Hernandez and pal Jeovanni Rosario, also of Harlem, then allegedly moved on to shoving carts. The pair slammed one cart, and it got stuck on the railing, law-enforcement sources said.

A 14-year-old buddy urged the duo to give it up, but Hernandez was so determined to make sure it went over the edge that he allegedly pushed it again, and it went crashing down onto the 47-year-old mom-of-two as she stood at a kiosk to pay for parking outside Costco with her son, Dayton, the sources said.
They were nabbed after their friend told authorities what happened and police went building to building in their neighborhood looking for them.
...
The two young suspects were charged in Family Court with assault as juveniles. Friends of both boys’ families insisted they’re “good kids.”

They were wild 12-year-olds from the projects perched four stories above her on an unguarded walkway, horsing around with a shopping cart. At about 5:40 p.m. Sunday, police said the boys suddenly hurled the cart over the railing — they later told cops they were unaware that Marion Salmon Hedges was in its path. [yeah right]
...
Over at the Washington Houses, there was sadness — but not much surprise — that one of the boys identified in court papers as Jeovanni R. was implicated in the cart attack.

“That boy is the baddest boy in the building,” said his former babysitter, who asked not to be named. “His mom used to say, ‘He’s gonna be my problem, that kid right there.’”

Neighbors said Jeovanni’s mom, Rosemary, used to make ends meet selling homemade food from a cart and now works nights. His stepdad is a bicycle messenger who was recently busted for selling drugs to a narc, they said. Neither was home when a reporter knocked at their door.

“There is screaming a lot” at the family home, a neighbor said. “Screaming and arguing.”
...
Jeovanni’s alleged accomplice was identified as Raymond H. He lives at the Clinton Houses.

“I know what he’s accused of,” a woman at the family home said through the door. Asked if Raymond was guilty, she answered, “He is not.”

“I don’t think he’d intentionally try to hurt anybody,” added neighbor Tyrone Thomas, 26, a security guard who described the suspect as a polite kid. It was probably a stupid dare, a little kid prank, he said.

But other neighbors said Raymond was a terror.

“He s always outside”, said one who declined to give her name. “Truthfully, he s a bad ass kid. He’s very disrespectful. He’s got a bad mouth for a kid 12-years old.”

Absolutely typical: my boy is an angel, he dint do nuttin!  But even in a community known for closing ranks against the police and the press and lying like hell, these charming young urchins were thug enough to elicit some stark remarks. Makes you wonder just how awful they really are.

Meanwhile Mrs. Hedges barely clings to life, and if she lives she might wind up a vegetable. Some thanks for trying to give back and help out, huh?

Now everyone stand in a circle, hold hands, sing Kumbayah, and blame the designers of the parking garage for not installing mil-spec tear-proof fencing over the openings, then blame the greedy Target corporation for not having an extra 1,000 security guards on site 24-7, and for not foreseeing such a thing and buying shopping carts made from Nerf foam. We certainly must agree that in no way shape or form can we ever hold these poor underprivileged children responsible for their own actions. Why, they had no idea of what they did AT ALL, which is why they thought is was still so funny hours later that they’d nearly killed a woman ( you KNOW they watched the cart fall and saw it hit her ). Why my goodness, we should also blame violent cartoons and video games for their attitude. And the TV show Jackass. And blame Bush, of course!

Monster Ballads

Poking around once again on Ricochet.com. This one is from the ‘member feed’, ie, you have to be a member to get there. I’d long ago given up on music. Everything seemed to be vulgar ‘hip hop’, ‘cop killer’, rape the whore/slut/sister. No one could sing, so they ‘rapped’. Couldn’t play an instrument so they did a heavy bass drum beat. Anyone can do that. So I’ve just been listening to the classics: Simon & Garfunkel, Mozart, etc, for the last twenty years.

So I was jazzed when somebody on Ricochet posted this video of Josh Ritter. I’ll be looking for him next time I’m at my favorite music store…

The music industry claims they’re losing money due to internet piracy. I claim they’re losing money because they publish trash like ‘rap’, ‘hip hop’, etc. This guy is good! But I have a problem: my favorite music store went out of business for lack of music. (sigh)

Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto

Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women and transgendered—and any other human who is able to elude the tyranny of work for a couple of weeks—are created equal. We gather to be free not of tyranny, but of responsibility and college tuitions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a government long established and a nation long prosperous be changed for light and transient causes. So let our demands* be submitted to a candid world.

First, we are imbued with as many inalienable rights as a few thousand college kids and a gaggle of borderline celebrities can concoct, among them a guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment and immediate across-the-board debt forgiveness—even if that debt was acquired taking on a mortgage with a 4.1 percent interest rate and no money down, which, we admit, is a pretty sweet deal in historical context…

...but down with the modern gilded age!

We demand that a Master of Fine Arts in musical theater writing, with a minor in German, become an immutable human right, because education is crucial and rich people can afford to fund unemployment checks until we find jobs or in perpetuity, whichever comes first.

We demand a minimum wage of $10, no ... make it $20. We earned it. And we demand the end of “profiteering,” because there is no better way to end joblessness than stopping the growth of capital. We also demand a maximum wage law, because selfish American dreams need a firm ceiling.

We demand the institution of direct democracy, because if a bunch of people say it’s OK, it’s OK. And everyone deserves to have his or her voice heard. Except Mr. Moneybags, who we demand stop contributing his own money to candidates we disagree with, to issue groups we loathe and to lobbyists who do not work for organizations featuring “Service,” “Employees,” “International” and/or “Union” in their title.

We demand the end to bailouts and corporate subsidies, unless we’re talking about companies that feature sunflowers or sun rays in their logos, because that’s the kind of morally gratifying institution we approve of, and thus, they should totally be fast-tracked and bailed out with your money to bring the fossil fuel economy ("the economy") to an end.

We demand the end to a corrupt Wall Street ("Apple" “your 401(k)") because banks hold too much power. We demand that government consolidate authority so that elected officials can make prudent choices for us. All that cash in banks was printed by the war god Mars and has nothing to do with the voluntary deposits by ordinary Americans, so we do not consider this theft.

We demand the end to corporate censorship, because if we can’t force private news organizations to run the types of stories with which we agree, there can’t be a healthy democracy. So actually, we demand the end of all corporate news organizations in the name of free speech.

We demand the end to health profiteering, because everyone knows that all the wondrous and lifesaving advances in modern medicine were invented in the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos. Smart people work for the good of humanity, not because they’re greedy.

We demand these rights because of the mass injustice of being able to freely protest against racism and corporatism without any real fear of imprisonment in the most diverse city on earth. And to the wiseguy who walked by the other day and claimed that I’d be writing this manifesto with a quill pen on parchment paper if it weren’t for capitalism, we have two words for you: Koch brothers. Think about it.

This is the fifth communique from the 99.9 percent. We are occupying Wall Street, and we’re not going home until it gets really cold.

squatters are evicted! Hurray. but they then move to another place. 14 ovem

quick update on squatter story.  They were evicted but ....

Squatters evicted from home of doctor and pregnant wife invade plush new property just 300 yards away

The 14-strong gang left Dr Oliver Cockerell and his wife Kaltun’s new home in London this morning with their faces masked after the couple won a ‘common sense’ court ruling yesterday.

But it didn’t take them long to find a new place to occupy. They holed up in a basement flat down the road, despite it having security shutters up to stop squatters.

Housing Minister Grant Shapps applauded yesterday’s ruling. He said the Government was ‘looking to slam the door on so-called squatters’ rights’ and was

‘consulting’ on whether to make squatting a criminal offence.

UPDATE AND LOTS OF PHOTOS

And didn’t I sarcastically say a week ago that all the powers did was “consult” and “consult” again with nothing done in the end.  Brits just LOVE to “consult.”
And where only some 6 months ago some govt. leech said the law needed to be changed, this guy is suggesting they ‘consult’ to see if this activity is a crime.
Jeeze .... what’s in the water these schmucks are drinking?  The public outcry on this subject is not recent.  But the shit heads who could stop it in its tracks are busy ..... consulting.  When they aren’t busy fiddling expenses. 

Imagine coming home and finding 14 verminous louts in your home.  You’re out numbered and have no gun. Damn awful thought.

Edited Sept 8
I feel I have to add this statement to this page even though I did it in the comments that follow. We get a lot of ppl passing through here from the states as well as other countries. Even on a personal note from friends back home, there seems to be little if any awareness as to how little authority the royal family has. Starting with the Queen herself.

On more then one occasion over the years, there have been times when some have mistaken the laws (or what passes for it) and the influence or authority of the royal family on the law.  The Queen may (who knows?) tell the PM privately that in her opinion something needs changing. But whatever govt. in power does not have to pay attention. They may be polite and follow custom, but are not necessarily influenced by any royal.  I’ve actually received personal mail from friends asking, after they read stuff like this, “why doesn’t the Queen do something?” The simple answer is, she can’t.

You can bet she would if that were possible.

stop thief? among a large group of thieves. uk riot

It’s 5 in the morning here and I don’t have anything I want to say. Mind and body a wreck, been up since 3:30. Freekin doctor. More worried that I might become addicted to a medication that works, then what a vicious cough is doing to the body. Have to call in when office opens in three hours.
Anyway, I came downstairs for a hot soothing drink and thought, hell with it. I’m up. I’ll boot.
And found this.

Pack of looters caught on camera pulling biker off his scooter and stealing it

By CHRIS PARSONS
Last updated at 1:09 AM on 17th August 2011

It may look at first like this scooter rider is simply trying to negotiate his way through a busy High Street.

But once it becomes clear the rider was weaving his way through a crowd of looters in Croydon last week, the outcome is sickeningly predictable.

Seconds after being spotted, the learner rider is dragged from his scooter by a thuggish gang at the peak of last week’s breakdown of law and order - before another thief makes off with the vehicle.

And even with all the evidence available via street cameras and personal stories coming out, there are still idiots on the left looking for understanding for the behavior of criminal minded scum.

In Birmingham, West Midlands Chief Constable Chris Sims called for ‘compassion’ for some of the rioters.

He said: ‘There are tragic offenders as well as tragic victims. Young people who have been in care for most of their lives. We need to show some compassion and be pragmatic about how we deal with these people.’

However, he added: ‘There has to be a deterrent to stop people thinking they can behave like this in future.’

mommy claims rights violation & police brutality for rioter son

Well folks, the govt. is now promising to get tough and address the problem of crime and streets taken over by gangs.  Everything the govt. is now promising is so darned overdue. Why?  Why did it take what happened last week for those jerks to wake the hell up? A violent rape and robbery by a 15 year old, homes burned to the ground and businesses destroyed, people beaten senseless and four needless deaths.  And now the powers that leech come up with plans and suggestions.

It is not at all like the general public has been silent for the last dozen years.  Editorials in papers have been calling, no begging more like, to turn things around. Scrap the damned European human rights legislation, for starters. Now they are talking about it. Talking. Talking isn’t enough. Do it! 
People have been begging for years (all the time I’ve been here anyway) for stiffer penalties for criminal behavior. Punishment that means something other then a bragging trophy to share with friends.

When I first visited England many years ago as an artist’s agent and road manager, I was amazed at how safe some of the streets seemed to be here.  Sure, every city in the world has places that are not safe.  But we covered hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles criss-crossing the UK from England to Scotland and Wales and one of our tours took in Land’s End.  By the time we finished we covered a few thousand miles. Take a look at this island and a few thousand miles is a heck of a lot.
Travelling all those miles through various towns and cities, I never saw the things that are commonplace today. Even in our out of the way (to a degree) area. The mindless public drunkenness by very young girls now called ladettes who match the lads drink for drink and violence for violence.  Ladettes. The word has even entered the dictionary.

I saw places I thought might be wonderful to live in.  Devon, The Cotswolds, Cornwall, The Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria. Oh god. Cumbria! I’d love to go back there again. And Dorset. And our own county of Hampshire, which includes The New Forest, which of course is a thousand years old.  I have been to all these places and had fallen madly in love with them, as you might too if only you could personally experience their beauty for yourself.  Breathtaking doesn’t even begin to describe it.

There are more beautiful places on this island then there are ugly.  The dismal part of this country is where people of no vision have built. 

So the Brits have a beautiful place to call home, and for all the mistakes of empire they still have a history they should be damn proud of.  Hundreds of years of it.
And it’s only taken about 30 years to toss it all down the drain.
It’s all come down to last week’s bloody riots by young people, many well educated and even from wealthy homes. Riots and the attending mayhem seen as a fun night out by the lowest sort of world scum outside killer terrorists.
Has it all come down to this?

My son’s the victim, says mother who faces eviction from her taxpayer-funded flat
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

The mother of an alleged looter who faces eviction from her flat now says her son is the victim of police brutality.
Daniel Sartain-Clark, 18, was photographed bleeding outside a branch of Currys in Clapham Junction, South London, after it had been ransacked by looters.
It is alleged he was attempting to steal electronic goods and attempted to resist arrest.

But his mother, Maite De La Calva, 43, claims police pushed him to the ground and struck him on the head with a baton, leaving a deep gash.
She said his 18-year-old girlfriend, J-Niel Starkei, who was also arrested, was hit in the face and suffered a cut lip.

Sartain-Clark denies burglary and violent disorder, and is in custody awaiting a further hearing on Wednesday.
In the first case of its kind, he and his mother have been served with an eviction notice as council bosses seek to turf them out of their £225,000 taxpayer-subsidised flat in Battersea.

mom claims rights violation

Mommy says son and girl friend were stupidly curious and just wanted to see what was happing and so there they were when cops arrived.
Should the kid be given the benefit of the doubt? See the photos at link and a bit more of the article.

Meanwhile, David Starkey, the historian I posted about yesterday is still coming under attack from the usual libtard sources, who do not even have the brains or the common courtesy to quote him correctly. In at least one case in a major paper, someone has even managed to quote something he did not say.

England sick’, says woman forced to leap from burning building

I’ve lost count of the number of times this photo has been shown.  It’s one hell of an image and I can imagine (I think) what she must have felt.

She’s from Poland, says England is sick, but wants to stay here.  ??? 

Well, most folks think it has become sick but my bet is that after all the shouting is done and the politicians have made their tough on crime speeches, things will settle down to the same old same old. Why? Cos the left in this country just won’t allow the death penalty to return and they have friends even among some conservatives.  I guess we’ll just have to see how things play out over time.  So stay tuned on this one. We’ll see who the liars and fraudsters are about the time of the next, ‘demonstration.’

And obtw ... just to show ya how brilliant we all of us are here at BMEWS, haven’t we all said long ago that lenient sentencing for thugs only encouraged more of the rats to continue their criminal behavior.  How many times have we discussed crime and punishment and been outraged by the sort of soft punishment, if it can be called that, for horrific crimes of violence.

So then ... on that subject that we all knew, but nobody among the powers that leech gave any thought to consulting any of us. Who had answers to these vexing problems at least 30 years ago, what do you suppose the Prime Minister does.
He goes to America for a “Crime Advisor.” The very country that led the world and made the words Scotland Yard the European equivalent to the Canadian Mounties, who always got their man; England now looks to America for advice on fighting gang violence. And guess what advice he has so far, from the former NYPD and LAPD, which by the way this country will pay for when BMEWS could happily given free?  Well take a look.

UK riots: young thugs ‘should fear the police’, says David Cameron’s new crime adviser

Young thugs and gang members should be made to “fear” the police and the prospect of serious punishment for acts such as looting, says David Cameron’s new crime adviser.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Bill Bratten said many gang members have been “emboldened” by over cautious policing and “lenient sentencing policies.”

All of England knew that ASBOs were a total failure and seen as a joke and something to aspire to, by the street gangster yobs. And so now the country has seen some serious rioting and NOT all by the poor and disadvantaged.  But you should read and hear, as I do, the excuses made for the criminal behavior this past week. And worse yet, the punks are being interviewed and parroting the excuses being made for them by many on the left.  Perhaps excuses is a strong word but what I hear are ppl trying to explain away the riot while at the same time trying not to condone the barbarity.

‘I thought England was civilised - but it’s sick’, says woman forced to leap from burning flat during riots

By Anna Edwards

Mother Monika Konczyk came to live in the UK for a fresh start and to carve out a better life for herself.

The hard-working Pole had moved to England just a few months ago to join her sister, believing the country to be full of ‘gentle and kind’ people who lived in a civilised society.

But after a pack of yobs set her street on fire and Miss Konczyk had to leap from her first-floor flat to escape the flames ripping through her flat, the the 32-year-old shop assistant has branded England ‘sick’.

Miss Konczyk rents a flat that backs onto the House of Reeves shop and on Monday night had watched the riots on her television and was getting ready to go to bed.

But rioters gleefully set the family furniture shop alight and, fearing that her home was about to be engulfed in the inferno, the mother-of-one quickly packed a bag and tried to flee through the only door.

‘I found myself jumping for my life after being attacked by thugs and thieves. They set fire to my building without any thought for anyone’s safety.

‘They were happy for me to die. They were like animals - greedy, selfish animals who thought only of themselves.’

The image of her jumping from her first floor flat as flames tore through the building has become an iconic image of the riots.

a reporter wonders if, “they will be coming for us tonight”

Some first hand accounts of encounters with sub species running riot ...........

I have nothing to add that would shed light or be interesting.

CALL THE POLICE, THE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD THUGS SNEERED. THEY WONT COME

Nicole Mowbray
Daily Mail

THERE was no sign that Monday night’s trouble would affect me as I hopped on my bicycle to make the six-mile journey home from work.
I’d been monitoring the news – violent clashes in Hackney and widespread looting in Peckham and Lewisham – but seen nothing to worry me about the ride to Brixton, South-West London.

There had been problems locally on Sunday night, however, and Brixton Underground station and high street remained closed throughout the next day. Cycling home would be easiest, I thought – and besides, at 7.4 pm, it was still light.

My journey is pretty, taking me through Battersea Park and up into Clapham. Turning off the busy Queenstown Road on to Silverthorne Road, my attention was drawn to a boy – around seven or eight years old – standing in the street at the entrance to the Robertson housing estate.

To my shock, as I slowed down, he threw a rock at me. It hit my handlebars with a loud clang.  Furious and disbelieving, I dismounted to give the little hoodie a telling-off. But then he bent down, picked up another rock – about the size of his palm – from a pothole and, with surprising force, threw it at my bike. It hit my arm. About eight of his friends, all under the age of 12 and dressed in tracksuits, arrived from nowhere, throwing stones and bottles of water that smashed over the road in front of me, soaking me and my bike.

The barrage was over in seconds, but as I started rummaging in my bag for my phone, they shouted ‘ call the police you f ****** stupid b****, they’re not going to do anything’, before casually sauntering off.

Angry and a bit shaken, I walked a few metres to the street corner, where I was greeted by groups of teenagers – and some 20-something women holding children by the hand – heading in the direction of Lavender Hill.

They were excitedly screeching about ‘going on the rob’ – one was even giving her friend a list of items to loot.
At this stage, I knew nothing of the trouble at Clapham Junction – but these people were larking about like they were off to a funfair, not a riot.
The sense of anarchy was palpable, and although I didn’t ring the police, I fear those eight-year-olds would have been right.

“feral rats” as young as 13

A baby clothes’ shop owner whose Ealing business was looted spoke of her anger at the “feral rats” as young as 13 who joined in the riots.

Liz Pilgrim, 43, who runs Babye, a boutique in Ealing, west London, near Ealing Studios, said she went to the store when she heard it was being attacked by youths.

She found it on fire, with her stock strewn across the streets, railings and even hanging on nearby trees on the green opposite.
Mrs Pilgrim, a mother of two who opened the shop seven years ago, said it was just “mindless violence” and had left her heartbroken.
“I am just absolutely devastated,” she said. “I just didn’t think that you could have something like that happen here.
“I think that we have a generation of youths disengaged from society, disenfranchised who just don’t care.

“They think this is fun, they don’t get the bigger picture. It is mindless, wanton violence.”

She said she had witnessed rioters as young as 13 tearing through Ealing. “I saw youths going back to cars last night after the riot.

“They were like feral rats. I saw a bus stolen and the passengers hijacked in it. If this doesn’t stop there is going to be a fatality,” she added.
“The number of young people I saw…, the parents must be to blame.

“Why were they out at that time of night? Where has respect gone? Where have values gone?”

She said she could not understand why someone would attack a baby shop and called for a tougher approach by police.
“It’s a mindless mob mentality,” she said. “We don’t want this namby pamby, messing around approach.

“I feel sick. I feel in shock. It is just so upsetting. It is mindless – a community turning on itself. Who would have thought there would be mob rule in Ealing?”
Mrs Pilgrim also called on David Cameron to “get a grip” and send in the Army to deal with the violence.

“My message to the Government, to David Cameron, whom I hope to meet, is to get a grip and if we can’t cope with the use of police officers that are on the street having to deal with this violence, then for Heaven’s sake get the Army involved or somebody who can deal with these young people. It seems so commonsensical to me.”

Tragedy of man beaten by rioters left fighting for life… but no one knows who he is as thugs stole his wallet and phone

By TOM KELLY and REBECCA CAMBER

A man left in a life-threatening condition after bravely remonstrating with rioters has not been identified - because the thugs who attacked him fled with his wallet and phone.  hopelessly outnumbered, a single police officer watched as the lone man,

said to be white and aged in his mid-40s to 50s, was set upon by a large mob of armed black teenagers after he confronted them for setting two industrial bins alight.
His relatives still don’t know that he was attacked by the pack of rioters - because police haven’t been able to work out who he is so they can break the bad news.

‘Bleeding, I called 999. A tired man told me to go home’

Andrew Gilligan reports on his own experiences of the lawlessness that swept across much of London and elsewhere.

It was one of those microseconds when you know exactly what is about to happen, without the slightest chance of stopping it.
The big black boy rode his bike straight at me, crashing me off my own and leaving us both tangled up on the ground. Then four more of them were racing towards me, clawing at my legs to get them off my bike, kicking me in the head as I tried to hold on. Two minutes later, it was all over. Ten minutes later, no doubt, it was being used to loot a newsagent’s.

Bleeding a little, I thought I might as well call 999. It was a recorded message. After four and a half minutes, a tired man answered. “There’s nothing we can do,” he said. “You know what’s going on. We have to give priority to saving people’s lives. I suggest you just go home.”

He was right, of course. I was in Hackney - which, that evening at least, was a law-free zone. That’s the worst thing about riots. Across much of London on Monday night, if someone had decided to break down your door and rape your daughter, there would have been nothing to stop them. There would have been no one to call.
When I was mugged, I was on my way home from a day in Tottenham, listening to the stories of the people who had lost far more and been at far greater risk than me, burned out of their homes at 30 seconds’ notice.

They called 999 too, frantically, desperately, as the riot moved closer. There were 100 police just up the road. The emergency operator could do nothing but listen to their terror.

I finished my journey in a cab. Three or four times, we had to stop and skirt round hooded boys spilling into the road, our windows closed and the door lock on. If they had fancied my taxi, there would have been nothing I or the driver could have done about that, either.

Even on Monday, the victims of Tottenham, black and white, were already tired of outsiders blaming racism, police brutality, or cuts. (What were they rioting about in prosperous, suburban Enfield – rising season-ticket prices?) The real reason for the rioters’ behaviour is much simpler: because they can.

Forget BlackBerry Messenger. After seeing — on television — how much leeway the looters of Tottenham were allowed, every criminal and every excitement-seeking child in London took note.

By the next day, critical mass had been achieved. Disorder had erupted on a scale much more difficult to suppress than the original outbreak.
There are, and always have been, plenty of people keen to break the law. On my taxi ride, I saw many other youngsters in twos and threes, hoods up, looking for the next crowd to join.

These are sights, with variations, that I have seen in foreign conflict zones: the loss of state authority and the loss of individual inhibition from being in a big group. But in London, the geography of fear is particularly potent.

Unlike Los Angeles or Paris, the riots are not happening in ghettos where nobody goes. They are happening amid the organic gastropubs and latte bars. Alongside poverty, inner London is full of the sort of middle-class progressives who agree with Ken Livingstone that the rioters “feel no one at the top of society, in government or City Hall, cares about them or speaks for them”.

I predict a lot of those people, as they cower behind their sash windows, are revising their views tonight. The hardening of liberal opinion in London is palpable, and is taking even the likes of Boris Johnson by surprise.

In my neighbourhood, Greenwich, they boarded up the shops at noon. God knows how much damage this is doing to the economy. It’s a beautiful, sunny evening. But our area is empty, like so much of inner London, as we wait in our homes with the TVs on to discover if;

THEY WILL BE COMING FOR US TONIGHT.

a dying culture? your guess

This pretty well sums it up, wouldn’t you say?

Oh, something aside from the riot news. And this will warm politically correct hearts.
A woman was arrested on suspition of a race hate crime after a golliwog was found displayed in a window of her home. She’s 65 and should know better right?
Lets get a rope and find a tree. Can’t tolerate that sort of abusive thing.  Right?

Hey, how about this.  Church a thousand years old. Some time ago bats of a protected variety move in. Congregation coughs up almost $20,000 to relocate bats in their natural habitat. But bats decide they like the church and stay.  Guess who moves out? 
Right you are if you guessed wisely that the congregation did. They got tired of being shit on by the bats.  True story. It’s in this issue you see below.

And still, according to survey as stated in previous post, only one in three Brits approve police use of live ammunition against rioters.

Radio interview of a few rioters last night. Two of them 17 year old girls who said .... the police think they can control us but they can’t. We can do whatever we want and a they can’t do nothin to stop us.

Which of course directly leads to ............

THIS

the guy on the ground is the subject of that headline in upper right.
he’s in bad shape in hosp., not conscious, and since his wallet and phone if he had one, were stolen, nobody knows who he is yet.

sikhs prepared to do for themselves what police unable to

I think I’m on safe ground if I say that this group, who’ve been here for many, many years, have never been the problem that certain others have been.
There’s only one time I can recall when they lost it over a theater production they didn’t approve of, which they felt was an insult, and closed it down under threats.  But otherwise, they seem to be a fairly tight knit and hard working community. And generally a successful one.

What we’ve seen over the last few days is nothing less then the failed policies of the damned liberal left. Those politically correct wusses who once refused to ID except by color (red and blue) opposing sides of the Battle of Trafalgar during a recreation, least it offend some visiting Frenchmen.
The same schmucks who some years ago decided that a state park was visited by too many middle class white people, and closed it.  The same fuck-nuts who decided that there were too many white middle class guys fishing England’s famed rivers, and tried (unsuccessfully) to get muslim women involved in learning how to fish.  Yeah, it reads funny maybe but the idiots were serious as a heart attack.
Who but ass-hole liberals would believe that taking a group of young thugs out to an amusement park on the taxpayer, was a great idea. Including one knife wielding robber.
Only one in three Brits believe the cops should have used live ammo on the sub human rioters.  Which means 2 out of three Brits brings this shit on themselves and are brainless.

Pictures speak better then anything I can say here, the article is interesting but I didn’t copy it all. The link has lots of pix.

Reclaiming the streets: Sikhs defend their temple and locals protect their pubs as ordinary Britons defy the rioters

* Met Police warn public against use of vigilante justice as crowds of football fans patrol roads intent on ‘protecting the streets’

* Warning comes as murder probe launched in Birmingham after deaths of three men ‘killed while protecting community from looters’

* Hundreds launch public patrols following claims riot police teams were told to ‘stand and observe’ looters rather than confront yobs

Some armed with swords, some carrying hockey sticks, defiant Sikhs stood guard outside their temples last night.

More then 700 men, some in their 80s, took to the streets to protect the homes, businesses and places of worship in Southall, West London.

The residents rallied together in a show of unity against looters echoed in other parts of the country as ordinary Britons attempted to reclaim the streets.

Many of those who gathered in the late night public patrols had done so after becoming frustrated by the lack of police response to the riots.

london bridges burning down …. more cities visited by violence and looting

I have to be somewhere but booted to follow up on newspaper stories. Didn’t expect to boot this morning. Have another busy day ahead and away from puter.
But I want America to see this new level in violence from the scum in control of the streets on major cities.
BTW ...
It has spread to other cities as you may already know. Birmingham ... Liverpool ... Manchester

Although it started with them, what’s going on now isn’t all done by nig negroes.  White anarchists and just plain hood and thugs of any color taking advantage of the situation. They should all be put down like the mad dogs they are. 

Meanwhile ... the usual bs from the left as Lyndon has pointed out in a comment from yesterday.  I heard the ppl on radio interview.
PLEASE folks ... take a good look at the articles and photos.
The apologists are already making excuses for what they call, disaffected youth who don’t think they have a future and so this is the result. They are only Sorrowful yoots who’ve lost their way.  Blah, Blah, Blah

A quick translation although it is obvious I think. The Brits almost always say ‘floor’ where Americans use the word ground.

Forced to strip naked in the street: Shocking scenes as rioters steal clothes and rifle through bags as people make their way home

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 8:31 AM on 9th August 2011

This is the shocking moment a young man is apparently forced to hand over all of his clothes after appearing to be stripped naked during lawless riots overnight.

Internet rumours last night claimed that on top of the widespread destruction across London and Birmingham, people were having their clothes removed by looters as police attempted to contain the criminality.

Another picture which emerged overnight shows an unnamed woman completely naked next to a police officer after apparently having her clothes taken from her.

Reports on Twitter claimed some people were being stripped, while another shocking video shows a bleeding teenager being robbed in broad daylight by lawless thugs who pretend to help him to his feet.

The unnamed teenager is shown being apparently assisted by kind-hearted passers-by after being spotted injured and bleeding from the nose on the floor.

But seconds after the vulnerable man is helped from the ground, callous looters instead start rifling through his rucksack.

With over a dozen young men standing nearby, the teenager tries to stop the bleeding from his nose as thieves continue the daylight robbery.

A man who is clearly seen picking items from the teenager’s bag then wanders off with his loot, before carelessly discarding the items on the floor.

The teenager appears largely unaware he is being robbed until it is too late, where he swats a hand at one of the robbers while trying to stop his face bleeding.

Although hundreds have been arrested all over London since the riots started, the shameless yobs in the YouTube video have been condemned by internet users as ‘the lowest of the low’.

HERE FOR ALL OF IT and short video

I don’t have a lot of time at the moment and and so leave you with this. Please see links for more.

is paris burning? no. but london is. again. rioters at play. again.

WHAT’S WITH THIS?  THE BLITZ?  NOPE.  IT ALL STARTED ORIGINALLY BECAUSE ......

This fellow, Mark Duggan, a gentle soul who wouldn’t hurt a fly if you believe friends and his girlfriend and his mommy, was shot dead by de po-leece.

Now come on. It is not racist to suggest that we all know what happens when some minority member gets himself graveyard dead at the hands of cops.
It’s automatic. The cops are always wrong before any sort of investigation has a chance to happen, and anyway, rioters of any color or religion or national origin take up the cry of pious outrage and show their protests by setting fire to buildings and cars and of course, looting. Nothin’ like a new TV or a puter to show how much you care.  When you care enough to steal the best. Or steal anything for that matter.
So this is what these sub-humans do.

Riot blaze: North London in flames as police cars, bus and shops burn over police shooting of ‘gangster’
· Twenty-six police officers hurt in clashes, with eight treated in hospital
· Scotland Yard still dealing with ‘isolated pockets of crime’ this morning
· Tottenham MP David Lammy appeals for calm and warns that there may be fatalities
· Mob of 500 people protest about death of father-of-four Mark Duggan who was shot by officers
· Fears that violence was fanned by Twitter as picture of burning police car was re-tweeted more than 100 times
· One eyewitness reports that trouble was ignited by police hitting a 16-year-old girl with batons
· Shop looted and youths storm McDonald’s and start cooking their own food
· Mail on Sunday photographers beaten and mugged by masked thugs

The family of Mark Duggan has condemned the riot that broke out in Tottenham last night as eyewitness reports emerge that trouble erupted after a 16-year-old girl threw a rock at police.
Mr Duggan was shot dead by marksmen on Thursday and his fiancee, Semone Wilson, has said that she wanted answers, not trouble, while his brother, Shaun Hall, called for the community to remain calm.
The Metropolitan Police has described Mr Duggan’s death as ‘regrettable’ and blamed the violent anarchy that flared on a ‘criminal minority’.

Fuck NO his death was not regrettable at all.

Reports say he shot at a policeman who was saved by the bullet hitting or glancing off his radio.  He was a known gun runner according to early reports, and imported guns to various gangs.  Why the media insist on calling scum ‘protesters’ is beyond me.
There is always an element that will take advantage of situations and this is the result.

If police were allowed to shoot dead the vandals and rock throwers and looters, there might be less of this. And cops (as shown at one of the links) should not have to waste their undermanned time treating injured rioters before arrest.

The photos will speak for themselves and there are a load of them HERE

The feds are chasing me..

Last words of ‘gangsta’ who was shot by cops

By ANTHONY FRANCE and CHRIS POLLARD

A GUNMAN killed in a shootout with police had texted his girlfriend minutes earlier to say: “The feds are following me.”
Suspected gangster Mark Duggan, 29, fired a handgun at an armed cop, whose life was saved when the bullet hit his radio.

The officer returned fire with his Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun - blasting dad-of-five Duggan twice in the face before slumping to the ground.

SHORT VERSION, SUN

As the rioting escalated, trouble-makers on Twitter seemed keen to orchestrate the violence, bringing scores more people into the area. One user calling himself ‘English Frank’ urged attacks on the police, saying: ‘Everyone up and roll to Tottenham f*** the 50 [police]. I hope 1 dead tonight.’

And in a clear incitement to looting, ‘Sonny Twag’ tweeted: ‘Want to roll Tottenham to loot. I do want a free TV. Who wudn’t.’

‘Mrs Lulu’ tweeted: ‘Brehs [men] asking who’s down to roll [go] Tottenham right now, to get justice. – RIP Mark x.’

A tweet apparently passed on by chart-topping rapper Chipmunk, who comes from Tottenham, paid tribute to the dead man: ‘R.I.P Mark Duggan a real straight up and down respected man. LOVE!!!!!!!!’

Joining in the Twitter frenzy, ‘Ashley AR’ tweeted: ‘I hear Tottenham’s going coco-bananas right now. Watch me roll.’

Meatloaf, still great after all these years

He sparked worry amongst his fans when he fainted mid-performance during a concert in Pittsburgh last Thursday, and collapsed again after a gig in New Jersey on Sunday.

The 63-year-old singer passed out backstage following his set, and had to be given oxygen.

Fortunately, the singer recovered after 10 minutes on the breathing apparatus and did not require any further assistance, according to TMZ.

The Bat out of Hell singer - real name Marvin Lee Aday - suffers from asthma and collapsed while singing his hit I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) in Pittsburgh last Thursday. He managed to finish the show, despite lying unconscious on the floor for 10 minutes surrounded by aides.

He made light of the incident before performing Paradise by the Dashboard Light, saying: “I ******* fainted. I have asthma, I can’t breathe.

“Oh wait, I forgot. I got poked by a pin and bled half to death, and then I got slapped in the face and my tooth is loose.”

Meat Loaf’s publicist Maureen O’Connor said: “He hadn’t been feeling well the past few days as his asthma had been bothering him. He fainted on stage and got back up and did the rest of the show. We’re happy he’s okay.”

Source: Meatloaf collapses on-stage

Just for fun, I include a couple of Meatloaf song; This is from the late 70s.

This is from 2003: Note that he’s lost weight and cut his hair.
