As an adjunct to BI's point on crime balcks against white and in thinking of the riots in the UK and the riots and flash mobs here in USA can we learn anything from what the Uk did and what Cameron wants to do
"LONDON (AP) -- Britain must confront a culture of laziness, irresponsibility and selfishness that fueled four days of riots which left five people dead, thousands facing criminal charges and hundreds of millions in damages, Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged Monday.
As rival political leaders staked out their response to England's unrest, Cameron pledged to deliver a raft of new policies by October aimed at reversing the "slow-motion moral collapse" which he blames for fostering the disorder.
"This has been a wake-up call for our country. Social problems that have been festering for decades have exploded in our face," Cameron told an audience at a youth center in Witney, his Parliamentary district in southern England. "Just as people last week wanted criminals robustly confronted on our street, so they want to see these social problems taken on and defeated."
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said Monday he was checking whether those involved in the riots should have their welfare payments cut, while London mayor Boris Johnson said young people convicted in the disorder would lose their right to use public transportation for free.
Cameron pledged to end a culture of timidity in discussing family breakdown or poor parenting, or in criticizing those who fail to set a good example to their children or community."The Link
So much of this applies right here and just like therovere too many people here think throwing more money at it and giving more bennies while blaming us for not understanding the problem.
How many " flash mob" vids have se seen of thugs stealing and trashing stores here in the past 2 weeks. stores often owed by mom and pops struggling to get by and these hooded thugs rob them of any chance at profist and laugh while doing it.
do we need someone like David cameron to stand hp and and call for changes here?
