Sorry, couldn't resist.


Oh god. Someone had to do it.

That old man and the poor kid with no jaw that got jumped really has me mad.

I'm all for fighting the government, I love Graffiti/Street Art, fighting for a political cause/movement etc. But this killing of this guy was not Rodney King. They're hurting the wrong people.

I don't pull this kind of bullshit.

On the upside, I think now would be an excellent time to invest in the Dark Hoody/Handkerchief manufactures.

Look at that mob. It's like a diesel ad.

600 years ago, there was a Robin Hood in Nottingham.

600 years later, they are robbin' the hood in Tottenham.

Just got done taking the CA Bar Exam and my ethics exam, so I was a little out of it when I first heard about these riots.

I almost thought it was the Rage virus at first.

I'm sure it will, just give it some more time.

But seriously, I think one significant difference is that there has been a more rapid influx of immigrants in London, especially in the poorer communities. They are segregated and have not assimilated into society. Now with the economies of Europe basically collapsing and the job market being non-existent for unskilled labor, many of these people have nothing to lose. So why not find any reason you can to take it to the streets?

Rodney King wasn't exactly Rodney King, either.

It looks like the police in the videos have zero control, power, and influence over a bunch of kids.

Edit: The "how not to get caught" paper should be in a museum.

The Clovis people may want to have words with your so-called comet which was postulated to have broken into pieces over the Laurentide ice shield.

Negative. The Clovis are ancestors of our native Americans. Unless you want to tell me that my so-called 'Native' Americans immigrated ;)

Once again logic fails on ng.com

I thought Native Americans were like asians who migrated across the Bering Strait.

There were several waves of human migration from Asia, starting with the Clovis people, who died out prior to the arrival of the successive immigrant groups from Asia. Those later groups became the peoples now known as so-called 'Native' Americans.


...not to mention the tantalizing possibility of occupation of North America by pre-Holocene hominids 200,000BN trumping any claims from H. Sapiens sapians.

Cool, so since they died out prior to the arrival of native Americans, you bringing them up in response to people having problems with immigrant communities makes no sense. Way to go.

the mammoths want to have a word with your Clovis people.

Go easy on NeoTheranthrope.

For some reason he thought I was talking about who was here first. He missed the point of the conversation.

I try to avoid NT. He's a bit on the over sensitive pseudointellectual side.

They were, from the the stone age clovis culture. There were already people from the Solutrean here when the Clovis people came though.
