Rioted and Looted so Hard Last Night LOLZ!! Best Time Ever!!!


WTF?
We live in a democratic society where everyone has an opinion and they have a right to be heard.  Throughout history, once a people feel ignored or persecuted they often rise and protest against the state.  a recent example of this can be seen in Iran where thousands of brave souls have risked their lives to rise against their state and be heard world wide.
Recently the cities of Toronto,Vancouver and London have received unwanted publicity due to their recent rioting and "sacking".  While many claim that there is an underlying cause for their anger and revolt,  it is wrong and unfair to associate these opourtunists to the struggles faced in Iran.

Most recently in London's riot, many believe that the rioting was triggered by the death of unarmed black man at the hands of the police.

This is far from the truth.
We're Rioting.....from high prices!

Many British political scientists and politicians have began laying the blame for these riots on each other - the left claiming that this was due to the frustration from the nation's segregated communities, while the right blamed England's failed attempt at multiculturalism- while little has been written about the most important issue about these events...Rioting has become cool.

Sweetness


Also, with the creation of Social Networking sites and tools, people are more connected than ever.  Unfortunately, our generation is suffering from becoming a lost one due to our inability to create a significant history - few significant wars, and cultural movements.  Due to this, many of us strive to be remembered and want to be involved in historical opportunities.  These protests not only connected people, the perpetrators were given a false sense of being involved in a historical event.

People taking part in these protests don't give a damn about the struggles of minorities, or the death of a black man. rather, these people are opportunist.  These people are not acting towards a cause or an idea; rather, they are acting for the simple case of acting....kind of like the Paris Hilton of civil disobedience.  These cowards saw an opportunity for civil unrest and took it. These people became obsessed from the idea of what they can take from these acts, rather than what they can change.


Flush out
