“I would urge the following distinctions, the violence of hierarchy vs. the violence of self-defense, violence against actual people vs. violence against property, and the violence as self-actualization vs. the violence of political resistance.”

You have a premium you pay, we all get that.
Something happens to your property – say a riot. Got it.
You cash in on your insurance, get things repaired – we’re all together here.

Your premium goes up.
The premiums for your area go up, not just for Joe but for Steve, Betty, Lori, Paul, etc etc etc.

Insurance is great when you have it, but after things like this – companies go out of business, insurance companies run out of funds to pay for damages, people lose jobs, costs of products sky rocket, people lose houses, get sick from malnutrition .

So, in the end .. does burning down a business physically hurt anyone?

Yes, it does.

It’s a big world picture kids.

Not to mention, what does the community have anything to do with the IPCC or the shooting? Is it “PC World’s” fault that happened? Will burning down PC World change anything? The answer is no. It will most definitely not. What the looting and rioting does is create a militaristic police state.

Great job. You just gave police MORE power, which is what you are supposedly fighting against.

Rather than acting out, use some logic and brain power. Not fire bombs and destruction.

Yet we are currently bombing the hell out of Libya in support of the rebels who include al-qaeda elements.

Did people really think that the absolute plunder of the global economy by the criminal financial class, the too big to fails who our governments answer too, would not lead to unrest here has it has in Spain, Greece, France Ireland, Eastern Europe, and now even Israel.

The way we vent our frustrations has is its own unique character which, is reflective of the selfish, materialistic, consumerist, botox on credit, culture that we have fostered over the last several decades.

America’s frustrations will be vented in much the same way since the US and UK have been subjected to exactly the same social engineering agendas.

Erm, “There is no evidence Mark Duggan opened fire at police before being shot dead by a firearms officer, the Independent Police Complaints Commission has said.”

But he must have been armed and shot, because the police said so.

And Ian Tomlinson had a heart attack and police tried to help but were pelted with bottles.

And Jean Charles de Menezes was wearing a bulky jacket on a hot day, vaulted the barrier and ran away from police shouting at him to stop.

They kill, then they smear their victims to cover it up. How many proven cases does it take before you stop being spoonfed the police’s bullshit?

These rioters don’t want any good to come of this man’s senseless death. If they did, they’d be helping out his family instead of helping themselves to flat screen TVs and jewelry. This is self indulgence and opportunism plain and simple, not some honorable movement against injustice.

I’m a little confused with your definition of known facts? If by known facts you mean wild and completely inaccurate speculation then you’re spot on. However there is no truth in your claims that he was shot in the head or in fact laying face down on the floor when he was shot.

And as for your comment “Property damage is not violence – it doesn’t physically hurt anybody.”, lets see how much you like it when someone smashes up your house/business/car for no reason and you’re left to pick up the pieces!
