#LondonRiots e a miopia ressentida e descabelada

Há a posição acima. E naturalmente há outras.

*‎”The rioters are only doing what they saw the banksters do a couple of years back, just on a much smaller scale. The banksters raped the country, took all the taxpayers’ money to fill the hole they’d left then gave themselves massive bonuses. The bankers got some nice new investment properties to add to their portfolio, the looters got some Reeboks. How about people direct their anger where it should really be?” – Alex Fraser, citado por Joana Manuel

*”the main way to prevent underclass getting violent is to not create an underclass“.

*”(…) Images of burning buildings, cars aflame and stripped-out shops may provide spectacular fodder for a restless media, ever hungry for new stories and fresh groups to demonise, but we will understand nothing of these events if we ignore the history and the context in which they occur.”

*”(…) When you look at the figures for deaths in police custody (at least 333 since 1998 and not a single conviction of any police officer for any of them), then the IPCC and the courts are seen by many, quite reasonably, to be protecting the police rather than the people. (…)”

Mas claro, a Câncio é que sabe. Descabela-se com facilidade, mas sabe.

*Adenda tardia:

- Do Austerity Measures Increase the Risk of Social Chaos?

-  These riots reflect a society run on greed and looting

-  Damn or fear it, the truth is that it’s an insurrection
