Not Their Finest Hour

Unfortunately, it's still awfully hot on the streets of England. Jonathan Danilowitz with a take on the riots that the cops can't seem to stop:

Last night I watched clips of the rioting in London. Fearless youths taunted the unarmed, unprepared police. And the police, apparently out in droves, were next to useless. The rioters fired cars, smashed windows, looted – and the police seemed helpless.
 

 

It’s been going on for four days now.
 

I cannot abide violence, especially violence for its own sake. I also cannot help but recall how peaceful (and effective) Israel’s demonstrations have been  The government is finally sitting up and listening. I also cannot help but recall how the world came down on Israel like a ton of bricks because of Israel’s alleged ‘out-of-proportion’ (and effective) response to the rockets fired from Gaza at civilian Israeli targets. Israel is always accused of over-reacting.
 

 

Hey Mr. British Prime Minister! Wanna stop the riots? Start having real men (and women) using real equipment on the rioters. Stop pussy-footing and being politically correct. Do it now! Before it’s too late. Before other hate groups in England (and Britain) understand that they can do what they like there.
