anger

before you loot. before you riot. before you tell us all it is because you are disenfranchised or because you are not listened to or because you have nothing to do or because there is no hope or no future or whatever. before you get angry. before you blame the establishment. before you do anything.
stop. think. take a look at yourself.

the death (or murder) of anyone is not to be welcomed.
the death (or murder) of a person at the hands of an agent of the state is something that should not happen lightly. when it does it needs to be investigated and justified. if not justified then justice has to be done.
essentially the same for any murder.

so the next time there is a gang related murder of a teenager in london why don't you rock up outside the houses of the gang leaders? why don't you riot on their patch? why don't you loot their premises?
or doesn't that get you angry?
isn't that an aspect of being disenfranchised?

guess not.
