Violence solves nothing.
I do not understand why people always think that violence will resolve an issue...
Let's take a look at the happenings of the last couple of days...
One of the most important countries was involved in violent riots it has seen in years!
I mean, you can't riot in Britain... It's BRITAIN for crying out loud... The birthplace of the English language (even though it seems the occupants of Britain itself seem to be losing their mother tongue) ... It's where London is and where all the cool pop culture originates...
In the last week, however, there have been violent riots in England where buildings were looted and cars were burnt all in the name of protest!
It all started with the shootong of a BLACK (race is always put in somehow) man. The guy was apparently the first to have fired at the police and then they gunned him down and he died on the scene. The family members and the friends of the desceased, decided to hold a peaceful protest outside of the police station. It was all peaceful until one of the protestors and one of the popo (police, if you must know) got into a little scuffle. A few more people got involved, a police vehicle was smashed and more police got involved! It escalated from that to the burning of buildings and cars and the looting of shops!
I do not think the riots were even about the dead guy anymore... It was just some bored, angry kids who had nothing do on a Saturday night and who were looking for trouble. Apparently the riots were organised via social networking sites like BlackBerry Messenger and Twitter... So my question is.... What does this have to do with the dead guy?
Basically these kids just destroyed where they live and they have made life mch harder for everyone else. I mean, no one is going to be allowed to walk around with their hoodies on without being suspected as an anarchist and also they (the powers that be) are going to want to keep an eye on what society is doing as in we are probably going to be living in a Big Brother type society... We won't even be able to go to the bathroon without being watched... How lame is that??!!
Other than that, though, I guess these kids ahve also shown that the masses have a voice to stand up for themselves (it does not have to be violent though). It seems that the only way to finally get attention from the powers that be is to actin such a violent manner. It would be much easier though if they would just have a listen to what the masses have to say... Just this once.
