reddog Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well there are always riots every year on the UK to some extent, so I would say high. It's going to be interesting to see when people, both young and old, realise what has happened to the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riots in Minneapolis are because police saw a man who looked like someone accused of passing bad cheques and decided to kill him (one held his legs, another kneeled on his neck and the other two told bystanders to mind their own business). I think if the UK police were as badly behaved we would have riots, but they aren't so we won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have the usual pi22ed up riots, as encapsulated by the Kaiser Chiefs. Something very much of the 1990/2000s zeitgeist in that song. It was the period of peak nightclub and mega-pub.

Seems a lot tamer now to be honest on the rare occasions when I venture on a young person's bar, young people seem a lot more ernest(nightclubs were almost over, even before Corona).

I don't think it counted as a good night in the 90s unless you had a fight on they way home and picked up a girl who then proceeded to vomit on you whilst taking each others clothes off.

msi Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 My guess it's unlikely but not zero. The cause wasn't important, but the underlying malaise and organisation through Social Media was. Social Media is more closely monitored; encryption doesn't mean anything when police can take your phone and analyse it via terrorist laws. The newer social media now act as vents for anger - why riot when you can change your filter and profile icon? In away, we have become too soft - great for the elites to control us, but eventually it gives way. I only pray that result happens after I'm long buried.

MarkD Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 There was a riot with people climbing the gates of Downing Street a few months ago. Not televised though. It came after tommy Robinson was arrested. Since that he’s been shut down from all media outlets. This looks like the new control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saving For a Space Ship Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) It appears to be geting worse in US, with major Gov buildings attacked How do we prepare for regular rioting ? Secure our property better, get a bigger stock of food in.? Trying not to sound like a prepper here, so I suggest preparations that are useful if civil disorder does not take place after all .. Edit UPDATES: -Third and Fifth precincts are being stormed by protesters in Minneapolis. - Shots fired in Denver, with two injuries. - Shots fires in Louisville, with seven critical injuries. - Shots fires in Phoenix, no word on injuries. - 65+ arrests in New York City. https://twitter.com/EgyptianWeeknd/status/1266225675142381569 Edited May 29, 2020 by Saving For a Space Ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 6 hours ago, msi said: The cause wasn't important, but the underlying malaise and organisation through Social Media was. Exactly. The guy was killed because he was resisting. The ultimate threat from the State to get you to comply is death, yet people scoff at me when I say that taxes are paid under threat of murder.

NoHPCinTheUK Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) We might see some minor event. Maybe something already seen back in the 70’. However, discontent in the UK has been channeled towards the EU and people had their vote. You need a very powerful message to keep people on the streets for weeks. This message is not present in the country. Well if a police officer kills a black guy something could happen, however, Black British are in a much better position than their brothers in the US. Racisms is not systemic in Europe, and it’s not a foundation of the State and the rule of law. I mean, the UK never needed a Martin Luther King.

In the UK most will just moan about issues on Twitter & facebook instead, far too subdued by media, entertainment, benefits and debt. It's hard to imagine a return to 70's/80's/90's riots where there was real anger and discontent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habeas Domus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If you watch this video it seems the police in the USA are very much deliberately provoking the violence. Not sure why - insert your own theories https://uptightcitizensbrigade.tumblr.com/post/619678368885014529/destroyerofprivateschools-politicalsci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
