[QUOTE="PepeLePew, post: 826561, member: 4895"] Whilst it sounds great. It is just impossible to conceive, assuming they avoid prison. Once punished if they had a job, they would probably lose it. If they go for a job, they would probably never get one because of their record. So take away benefits, they would literally starve to death; or do more looting to get themselves in to jail. Off track, but wanted to write my thoughts somewhere I believe there was a lot of opportunistic thieving/violence by people who were swept up in the gangmentalityheatofthemomentredmist as we now see estate agents, social workers, finance students getting punished along with the regular wronguns. And just because we have been used to peace for aeons, doesn’t mean it is a natural state of affairs. All throughout the history of this fair isle we’ve been subject to marauding and/or opportunistic and/or violent types... Romans, Saxons, Normans, Vikings, right down to present day people trying to hop the channel to suck off our benefits. And equally we’ve been super efficient at exporting that marauding and/or opportunistic and/or violent types. Empire building(pillage of continents) / War “winners” / poking our nose in affairs that probably didn’t need us(oil security, sod the huminatarian crisis where there’s no chance of some rewards). I’m sure everyone can defend all of those issues as not being the real picture, and they are what make us “Great” Britain. However I just see “Great Britain” as a n other country with an ever shifting population, that has certain flash points, that focus attention and define the country at that point in time. Moreover I’m just saying that violence, with or without clearly defined reasons, is just another part of the human condition, that is not unique to this country. But this spate of mass disorder will require a certain amount of effort on everyone’s part to get a solution that will stop this type of event happening again. I think what surprised me most about this event. Is that the culprits are probably my age groups children. So whilst we were celebrating summer of love and peace, and I am assuming parents passed on those values, the kids have stuck two fingers up to it. I guess each generations rebellion has to take place; whether it’s in a way we expect or not. And reinforces that peace is not a natural state of affairs. Anyway collectively the nation will have to find a solution, that is not going to have drastic negative consequences e.g. costs wise or depriving those lower down from opportunities to get engaged with finding a solution to get themselves out of this mess for themselves... battle royale ;) [/QUOTE]
