Thread: Reason for Riot

Everyone has been saying "oh they're a bunch of bloody thugs just looking to break shit".
I assume that's what you've all been hearing as well.

But if you think about it for a minute, people don't just do this for no reason.
There has to be some underlying cause, some unrest and dissatisfaction with the way things are going.

This is a video which basically shows the problem in a nutshell - No one's listening.


Here's some comments from all the versions of this video

you ignorant bastard for christs sake open your fucking eyes. ANYWAY, how can this reporter twist his words though? i dont support their actions and he clearly doesnt either what he's saying is that the gov't is screwing up and when people arent treated with respect, they will rebel. common knowledge. true or not the reporter was completely in the wrong blatantly twisting his words when he didnt even come close to saying the things she says he is.

So many logical fallacies and manipulaiton on behalf of the bbc there. How the fuck do they get away with it! "You say you're not shocked. Does this mean you condone what happened in your community last night?" How sick that the BBC can get away with this shit. They must be in bed with the regulators.

This is a good illustration of the problem. No one will listen. The reporter wouldn't listen. People are disenfranchised and angry and they have no voice, no way to make anything better for themselves except by taking it from someone else. They aren't thinking about revolution. They just have no future, no prospects, so why not fuck shit up and make society pay? Lots of angry people with nothing to lose being ignored. That can't go on forever without something like this happening.

Darcus Howe was speaking the truth, that's the reason she kept trying to stop him talking.
