Food Riot Warning for United Kingdom

Posted on by

From Sky News:

A senior economist at the worldwide bank HSBC has warned of civil unrest in Britain if food prices continue to soar.

Speaking on Jeff Randall Live, senior global economist Karen Ward cautioned that the UK could experience the kind of food riots seen in other countries.

“Even in the developed world I think we have very, very low wage growth, so people aren’t getting more in their pay packet to compensate them for food and energy, and I think we could see social unrest certainly in parts of the developed world and the UK as well.”

She went on to highlight the link between high food prices and the escalating cost of crude oil.

“More and more we are seeing that some of these foodstuffs are actually substitutes for energy itself, particularly biofuels. So I think the energy markets are a significant contributor to these food price gains.”

The comments come as the United Nations warned the cost of food is now at the highest level for 21 years and set to rise further.

Food costs have gone up for eight months in a row, with the National Farmers Union forecasting the trend will continue for the rest of 2011.

It may be a good time for Brits with means to take an extended vacation in America. Here’s video:

Flash Mobs in Philidelphia and Chicago Have Authorities on Edge

Posted on by

I expect to see the incidence of youth populated, mayhem driven flash mobs to increase as we approach the summer. With the left glorifying the revolutions in the middle east and the out of control union protests here young people are getting the message that law and order is no longer something people expect any more. This is a dangerous trend

From CBS Chicago:

CHICAGO (CBS) – Stores on the Mag Mile are on alert after several thefts involving flash mobs. In each case, a group of teens create a disturbance, steal items and then run from the stores.

CBS 2′s Suzanne Le Mignot reports in the past several weeks, there have been at least three incidents on Michigan Avenue. Sources tell CBS 2 the teens involved are between 17 and 13 years old.

Apparently they’ve been Tweeting each other. They pick a spot to meet and then go as groups to carry out their crimes. It’s all part of a growing phenomenon.

You can see mob robbery videos on YouTube. In one tape, 50 teens are seen entering a St. Paul, Minnesota convenience store. Within minutes they take whatever they want and leave. The same thing has been happening in Chicago along the Magnificent Mile. Sources said Filene’s Basement, The North Face store and Express have all been recent targets by these flash mobs.

“Just see kids, random kids running out of stores,” said witness Miralem Mahmatovic.

Mahmatovic said it’s been obvious the teens seen running, have had merchandise with them. He said he has seen a teen theft mob in action. “We had a cop from Express chase down a kid here once, just chased her, caught her down at the corner, so we’ve seen it a couple of times.”

At Express, sources said 11 teens stormed through the doors knocking over merchandise and alarming customers. Security tried to lock the doors and when police caught the teens, they also had merchandise with them from other stores.

Greater North Michigan Avenue Association President and CEO John Chikow said he organized a meeting Tuesday with law enforcement and representatives from about 70 stores along the Mag Mile. “The police gave a briefing as to what their current activities are. I think there’s a stronger commitment on the part of the businesses to call when there are problems because they’re seeing the police are responding very quickly,” Chikow said.

At Filene’s, teens ran onto the sales floor, grabbed items then ran out. At The North Face, they entered screaming and yelling, knocking over displays and grabbing clothes worth close to $3,000.

From CBS Philly:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police say five teenagers are in custody after a flash mob gathered at Liberty Place in Center City Wednesday evening.

It all started about 5:30 in the area of 15th and Chestnut Streets. Central Detectives received a radio call of a large flash mob in the street. Arriving officers found 30-to-40 teens in the street weaving in and out of traffic, and pushing pedestrians on the sidewalk.

The group of teens then entered Liberty Place, knocking over promotion signs outside of stores, and then went into the food court and began flipping tables. Police say all the activity inside was caught on surveillance video.

The flash mob then exited Liberty Place on the Walnut Street side, where some of them were apprehended by police.

The teens in custody are charged with rioting, conspiracy, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and disorderly conduct.

All of the defendants deny knowing the others involved. Police say all five teens attend different high schools in Philadelphia.

That last part is very disturbing. Crimes are being organized online by strangers whose only connection is Internet access and a desire to hurt people and steal. It’s a bad time to own a store in a big city.

I Told You to Stay Away from the “American Dream” Rallies

Posted on by

Called it. The pro-Union, communist organized “American Dream” rallies that happened this weekend were used by radical elements to whip up hatred and incite violence on the part of the Left. The following is a list of some of the most egregious assaults on innocent bystanders by these left wing “revolutionaries” who are interested only in creating chaos and mayhem.

Read through them and pay particular attention to who gets targeted by these people and why. In the long run these degenerates will attack anyone, but while these rallies are ongoing they are only the build up for the civil unrest that the Left wants. The violence will, in the coming weeks, be selective. Once food and gas prices go up all bets are off. Get armed and armored. A nice thick leather jacket should be in every wardrobe these days – to protect from slashes, scrapes and fireworks.

Here’s the left wing of the country in action:

A pedophilic Union thug was caught on video threatening to rape a 17-year-old boy.

Fox News reporter Mike Tobin was assaulted by “protesters” in Wisconsin.

A Tea Party member was attacked and injured by a member of Teamsters Local 439 by the name of Richard Andazola.

In Atlanta a union thug was caught on camera blindsiding a Tea Party activist and shoving him into a wrought iron fence before running (really more of a lumbering) off. The police witnessed the incident and not only did nothing but allowed the goon to escape while preventing the Tea Party members from pursuing.

The Kansas AFL-CIO organized a campaign of sexual harassment against female legislatures and staff members according to the local GOP who have video of the incidents.

Ann Althouse found Wisconsin protesters desecrating a war memorial, and capitol police refused to do anything about it except demand that they not be filmed.

Hundreds of police in Wisconsin actually joined the communists in solidarity – and stood by and did nothing as adults got children high at the capitol building.

All that goodwill didn’t do cops in Seattle much good as anarchists went on a wild rampage using flares, fire extinguishers and fireworks to assault police. The anarchists (who seem to be a Black Bloc collective) posted their own after action report on a local anarchy site. No one was injured, but at least one of the fireworks that were thrown at police could have injured people if it had detonated near them.

So as I said, I told you to stay away from crowds protesting, especially if they’re on the left. if you’re going to be in the area or if these protests spread toward you take some precautions to protect yourself from lightly armed but violent mobs. Think bear spray to drive them from your property, or paintball markers with rubber “practice” balls (be careful, this could be considered a weapon in blue states – check your laws) have been used successfully to disperse crowds by police. If you have to navigate place where these crowds are gathering you’d be surprised how much protection a good motorcycle jacket offers.

These crowds will eventually turn on your houses and cars so be prepared, but remember their strategy is to not use guns and knives so that they are still protected by police when you respond. It is not by accident that the left leaves their guns at home while rioting – they’ve learned their lessons. Non-lethal defense is going to be your first and best option against these crowds.

Police Concerned Over New “Flash Mob” Robbery Trend

Posted on by

Another sign of the collapse of our civil society. Store owners be aware of this trend:

On Saturday, St. Paul police say 50 kids swarmed a Holiday store on Wabasha, a so-called mob theft or mob robbery. They stormed in together, their numbers overwhelming and just started stealing.

“They steal your basic convenience store type of goods and run out,” says St. Paul Police Department spokesperson Andy Skoogman.

It’s the second incident like it in St. Paul in less than six months. Last fall, surveillance cameras at a BP station on Lexington captured some 20 kids coming into the store at the same time. They stole merchandise and one of them assaulted the clerk on the way out.

Police worry about this kind of mob behavior because there have been similar incidents in other cities.

[…]

The mob robbery at the Holiday store happened just before a shooting incident down the street where two people were injured. St. Paul police are looking into whether the two cases are connected.

The police are calling it mob mentality but the truth is it’s worse than that. The authorities are losing their ability to keep the piece. Here’s a video report:
