London Riots


So what is eventually coming for America?  Check out the riots that are currently happening in London if you want to see what's on tap for Los Angeles, Oakland, Houston, Minneapolis, etc....

LONDON (AP) — Violence and looting spread to new areas of London on Monday — and to a second major British city — as police and politicians struggled to contain the disorder during a third day of rioting in the capital, which will host next summer's Olympic Games.

The worst unrest in London in decades saw buildings, cars and garbage dumbs set ablaze and police officers pelted with bottles and fireworks, as groups of young people and police clashed in neighborhoods across the capital.

NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH:

The violence began late Saturday in London's northern Tottenham district when a peaceful protest over the police's shooting of a suspect turned violent, leaving parts of the high street charred and its shops looted. But some have blamed the unrest on unemployment, insensitive policing and frustration across Britain over the government's austerity budget, which will bring deep cuts to social services and welfare payments.

Here it is; http://news.yahoo.com/uk-police-arrest-over-200-london-riots-continue-170520562.html

What caused the riots?....deep cuts to social services and welfare payments!  What do you think will happen in America when food stamps, subsidized housing and student loan programs all get cut back in an attempt to balance the budget?  We have blogged much on this already and now we are seeing the unrest that started in Greece spread to our sister country of England.

With 46,000,000 people currently on food stamps...how many rioting folks do you believe it would take to disrupt a country of 300,000,000 Americans?
