London is burning

London and its suburbs have just had their Rodney King moment. ~200 people have been arrested and the police are compounding their mistake by letting apartment blocks burn down and shop be looted due to fears for their own safety.

My understand is that, Mark Duggan, a father of 3 and rumored drug dealer was getting out of a cab when police surrounded him and he was shot dead. All the bullets found at the scene so far have all been police issue and the community claims the killing was race related. Not sure what I believe other than the guy sure wears a lot of jewelry.

You know what's interesting. London police never had guns before. They only were issued billy clubs. When did they get guns. It was a well know fact.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
