These are the same people that continue to make jokes about 9/11. I have no sympathy and I hope death toll reaches far over 1 million.
 
The concept of rioting never made sense to me. What part of the game is it destroying your OWN community? You have to %*%!*!@ live there, why would you do that

It's not like these people are attacking government buildings, the police stations, or corporations... they're just smashing and setting on fire anything they come in contact with.

Same thing I thought during the L.A. Riots.

Looting is one thing... but what's the point of the fires
 
UK: Protest when the cops shoot a non-threatening citizen

US: Protest when there's whispered rumours that Obama might make them into a first world country by giving them free health care.
 
Dang, hope any NT'ers in London are safe.  Would suck to be in the middle of that unless you're making a come up

[h2]London riots[/h2]
Two nights of rioting in London's Tottenham neighborhood erupted following protests over the shooting death by police of a local man, Mark Duggan. Police were arresting him when the shooting occurred. Over 170 people were arrested over the two nights of rioting, and fires gutted several stores, buildings, and cars. The disorder spread to other neighborhoods as well, with shops being looted in the chaos. Collected here are images from the rioting and the aftermath. -- Lane Turner (26 photos total)

However I figure that the reality of this would be the CIA ignoring me until I begin having larger amounts of followers. Then bullet to the temple and it's done.
 
damn my brother moved to London for work about 6 months ago.  When the riots first started he said he wasn't close to them but I talked to him tonight and he said they're only a few blocks away
