London Calling:Is NYC, Silver Spring, or PG County, MD next?
Aug. 11, 2011, 3:46 p.m.
You've probably heard about the massive riots in London that look like the Blitz in WWII. You may have even heard that the fighting started when the police shot someone who had not shot at them, just like Mt Pleasant in 1991 or Overtown, Miami in 1989. What the news is NOT talking about is how that shooting just lit the fuse! It took years of the rich treating the poor like dog crap to build up the explosive mixture now detonating on your TV set.
(tape-a resident of London speaks out on the riots in an interview published on Youtube-he is NOT shocked in any way.)
(announcer denies police shooting as settled matter, says to "wait for the offical inquiry" as she tries to outmaneuver her interview subject):
BULLSHIT-this is the same swill the cops always try to serve up, just like Overtown, just lie Mt Pleasant...
(interview continues-pigs stopping and searching Black youth for nothing)
That sound like New York City might be next in line for the Class War Blitz, with the New York Pigs having a "stop and frisk" policy aimed at nonwhite teenagers. Silver Spring should also listen good: London was one of the first cities to deploy the "Mosquito," a high pitched sound device aimed at driving away teenagers, with over 30,000 in use. Silver Spring, if you take similar measures against young people, LOOK OUT! Gallery Place, I'll be you sure are glad you decided to slap that mosquito and turn it off. Stop making war on young people and young people of color, or they will surely make war on YOU!
(Interview continues-Insurrection!)
