Violence in UK Spreads. Is US next?

Violence in UK Spreads. Is US next? August 9, 2011 5:06 am Eri

The violence started in multi-ethnic sections but has spread and now seems to be a more general uprising of the economically disadvantaged.

“This is the uprising of the working class. We’re redistributing the wealth,” said Bryn Phillips, a 28-year-old self-described anarchist, as young people emerged from the store with chocolate bars and ice cream cones.

It’s spread to other cities.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I have stated many times that I think a revolution is coming. What will the economically disadvantaged do in this country? Burn Washington? New York City? I think it’ll start in NYC. The thing is, guns are allowed in this country. They’re not in the UK, so anything going on here will have added danger and violence by the addition of assault rifles and other high-powered weapons the NRA refuses to allow to be regulated. Once those guns are turned on them and their families, they may change their tune.
