Riots - Where did it go wrong?

submitted by dotdude

1 decade 3 years 4 months 2 weeks ago

YouTuber geriatric1927, who is often referred to as the Internet Grandad, discusses his views and feelings on the riots of the past few days. His channel bio reads: "I am a widower living alone in the county in the middle of England Uk. My life has been very varied but my love of motorcycles has remained with me all of my life (no, I don't have piercings or tattoos).I am a bit of a recluse I suppose as partying and such do not appeal. I have a degree in fine art which I got at the age of 60+ so have interests there.Blues music is essential to my well being and have been addicted since a child. I have a background in mechanical engineering. I guess that's enough. Ask me if you want to know more."

I feel dumber listening to this guy - What information did he have to give apart from - Youth - stop it - you'll regret it in the future.......

Come on - When 2000 young blacks marched in protest to scotland yard, they were ignored and no press coverage came from it, when they riot - people seem to pay a bit more attention....

A little more research into possible causes for the riots and a talk about that would be far more interesting than this guy.

wow, wish I could downvote this guy

I did for you, what a short sighted status-quo supporting buffoon.

"These youth should be content to make my big macs for the rest of their lives! Lousy no goodin' disrespectin' authority YOUTHS!"

Yeah, they have NO good reason to be upset... Typical response of the wealthy.
