Funny thing is none of the Sunday news programs, cable news networks, or local television stations with their “international news” mentioned a word of this.
From Reuters this morning:
London wakes up to aftermath of worst riots for years
5:59pm IST
By Michael Holden and Adrian Croft
LONDON (Reuters) – London picked itself up on Sunday from some of the worst violence seen in the British capital for years which politicians and police blamed on criminal thugs but residents attributed to local tensions and anger over rising financial hardship.
Rioters throwing petrol bombs rampaged overnight through an economically deprived district, setting police patrol cars, buildings and a double-decker bus on fire.
Police said 26 officers were injured as rioters bombarded them with missiles and bottles, looted buildings including banks, shops and council offices, and torched three patrol cars near Tottenham police station in north London.
The riots erupted after a street protest over the fatal shooting of a man by armed officers this week turned violent.
Residents said they were forced to flee their homes to escape the trouble as mounted police and riot officers on foot charged the crowd to push rioters back.
Interestingly enough, the flash mobs in the U.S., attacks at state fairs, and mini-riots and protests instigated by the left and “criminal thugs” get little if any coverage from our mainstream media either. It does make one wonder if the severity of the economic situation in the West is being deliberately downplayed to keep the masses from freaking out and joining the left wing loons OR if the powers that be are not quite ready to put the hammer down on our remaining freedoms and thus wish to maintain the appearance of a calm society.
Good luck keeping the Italian riots off the front pages when they begin Department of Peace and Propaganda, it is going to be a bloodbath.
