Insurrection of the People

UK Riots. 

"What i was certain about listening to my grandson and my son...  something very serious is hapenning in this country. If you look at black and whites with a discerning eye and careful hearing they have been telling us and we wouldn't listen."
R: Does this mean you condone what is hapenning?"

He replies, "Of course not.  I don't call it rioting I call it an insurrection...of the masses of the people."  Akin to what's happening in Syria (and elsewhere)... "This is the nature of the historical moment."

Here are the video's top 2 comments:

"  WHEN YOU CUT FACILITIES, SLASH JOBS, ABUSE POWER, DISCRIMINATE, DRIVE PEOPLE INTO DEEPER POVERTY AND SHOOT PEOPLE DEAD WHILST REFUSING TO PROVIDE ANSWERS OR JUSTICE, THE PEOPLE WILL RISE UP AND EXPRESS THEIR ANGER AND FRUSTRATION IF YOU REFUSE TO HEAR THEIR CRIES. A RIOT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNHEARD - MARTIN LUTHER KING

@AkaashRAFIQ When you give the govt power by accepting subsidies in the form of entitlements, you become a beggar at their door and a pawn to be used by either right or left to gain and win political/social favor. The rich get richer off of your complacence... violence is the uneducated's ONLY means of dissenting for change... Progressive ideology makes slaves of us all.



And what's even sillier, British Prime Minister Cameron is proposing to ban social media outlets like Blackberry BBM, Twitter, and Facebook because they allow people to communicate....but they're not people, of course.  They're RIOTERS.  Bloody rioters aren't people right?  So far they haven't been treated as people.  This is what happens when authorities abuse power (LAPD anyone?). 

"So we are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality," the prime minister said.

How fucking 1984 of Mr. Cameron.  Taking away rioters ability to use social media is akin to taking away a teenager's cell phone or car when they get in trouble.  The party that experienced some loss of freedom will always find another way. 
Or the riots will just inflate out of retribution.

Why not use social media to LISTEN to the messages they may be saying... is that not part of communication?  Listening...?
