The economics of riots.

That is something everyone should inherently know. Poverty has nothing to do with riots. Whaether or not rioters are punished has a LOT to do with it. The Londoners know that rioters will not be punished because they have seen decades of football hooligans getting off.

We have started seeing the same thing here with the commies and anarchists whenever we have a "G" meeting here.

The corrupt Mayors of the democommie urban centers should take note of that.

7 It almost seems as if liberals have no understanding that Western institutions and culture which they endlessly deride have anything to do with social cohesion or the West's economic output. Or they do and they want to destroy it anyway.

9 I think the intersection of riots and economics is, Kids riot when they are bored and morally corrupt. The Welfare State is the breeding ground for Riot.

20 Well our culture and institutions have been the fertile soil in which the Western worlds economic growth occurred. Once you destroy that, ie work ethic, civic responsibility, patriotism, self-reliance; where are you going to get the growth? I mean you don't see those British idiots rioting for less regulations so they can start a business do you? Or less taxation. They are rioting to steal, or to make the government take other peoples property and give it to them.

Gardner, MA

"A week ago, when only three people had taken out nomination papers for three positions on the School Committee, Mayor Mark P. Hawke suggested to the City Council it was time for a raise. Yesterday he suggested more than tripling the pay.

The current pay of the School Committee is $1,500. It is higher than in most other communities in northern Worcester County. The mayor said he has suggested it go up to $5,000.

“I suggested $5,000 as a starting point for discussion,” Mr. Hawke said.

The mayor said the six-member School Committee has not received a raise in many years, and that may be putting off people considering taking on a job that means many nights working at regular and subcommittee meetings."

22 When I was qualifying with the M-9 and the M-16 I rode to the range with MA in charge. He was my patient. So we all get there and he gave a long lecture on safety and also said NO HEAD SHOTS. Any one getting a head shot is gonna get kicked off the range. So after I qualified and was riding back with him, I said to him "Ta know I had a head shot". He sayed " Yeah Doc we saw, but we didn't think you meant it"

23 Maybe that's the real reason Alinsky dedicated his book to Satan. Everything he wanted to do would end up destroying Western civilization, or at least turning it into a cesspool of commonplace riots and an economy in the shitter. Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

You need a warning sign for your house/yard. "Armed and willing to keep shooting again and again til I get it right."

31 Since this is a doom thread I guess we should mention the GREAT Mariano Rivera has blown 2 saves in a row. The world is certainly about to come off it's axis. We Yankees fan know that will be the final sign that the world as we know it is ending if Rivera can't do the job anymore.

34 Hell, London merely is the appetizer for what ultimately will become the main course. When the shit doth hit the fan here in the states you'll be wise to steer very clear of the big Democrat cesspools, especially Philly, Chicago, L.A., Detroit, Seattle and Newark-Camden. When our underclasses inevitably decide to go Lord of the Flies it'll be in much larger numbers and with much more ferocity than their British counterparts. Forty-five years of race baiting, identity politics and welfare state policies is nothing but a giant social powder keg. That combined with Democrat "leadership" in the big cities and local left-wing policies on crime and punishment and self defense amount to gasoline on a smoldering fire. When it begins you won't catch me within 200 miles of a major urban center. Better to be bored and lonely but alive than to be torn to pieces. The old conventional wisdom: A nice house, a nice car, a 401(k) and a savings account. The new reality: Gold, silver, cash, food, water, guns, ammo, more ammo, one extra gun and an escape plan either to the desert or to high altitude. You think I'm being melodramatic? Well, go back and watch the tapes of Watts '65 and then factor in higher unemployment and higher inflation. Extrapolate.

47 Ha ha ha a... he picked Patty Murray? She co-authored a piece in the WSJ today about how we need to refund the workforce investment act. Ha ha ha... can't even cut funding to a program (3.5 billion dollars annually) that has NO proof that it does shit. I've got a bit on my blog about it.   See - Michigan Works!* which has spent money on country club memberships and overpriced employee retreats.

50 In local DOOM! our all beneficent city council decided (against majority opinion) to spend several million dollars installing bike paths on some of our most congested downtown streets.  Now they're claiming they need to raise fees for business alarm permits (yes, you have to buy an alarm permit- business or personal- so the police will actually come to your home or place of business if the alarm goes off.  Otherwise, they don't come AND they send you citation.  Charming, no?) and fines for violations, because the poor, poor police department can't afford to keep sending police out to false alarms.

Excuse me.  Since you don't know that an alarm is "false" until after you get there, should all alarms be treated as real until you know otherwise?  And if this is such a big burden on the police department (which I kind of doubt, but I don't know, so I'll take them at their word), why not redirect those extra millions we apparently had to build unwanted, unneeded bike paths and give it to the police department?

Now I'll go back and read the comments to see if anyone has said anything interesting this morning.

RE: the UK riots.

My British-born mother - who's lived here since the 1950s - is getting very annoyed with the people at her workplace.  They keep asking her, "What's going on with London?  Why are they rioting?  What do you think about it?"  To which her (internal) response is, "Oh, I think it's fantastic.  I love to see the places I knew as a little girl going up in flames at the hands of a generation of selfish, entitlement-minded cretins.  It fills me with a special kind of joy to see how far my home country has fallen!  So much for the sun never setting on the British empire!"

What she actually says (because she's much more polite than I would be) is, "I don't really know.  I don't particularly watch the news."

Seriously, what do they expect her answer to be?  She came here with her family in 1957, before Britain had gone completely 'round the bend, and she hasn't been back since the 1960s.  She's not exactly a new immigrant fresh off the boat with her finger on the pulse of modern Britain.

I don't think I'd be able to resist saying, "I say right on!  Bring those capitalist pigs down!  No more tippin' o' the hat from me, Guvna!" just to mess with their heads.

I am often accused of being overly pessimistic about our future (both financially and socially), but it's just a matter of looking at the numbers, and the attitudes and behaviors of the voters in this country.  The worst-case scenario is the most likely one.

Aye, that is my opinion as well.  I no longer look for a glimmer of hope that the worst-case scenario can be avoided, I am simply bracing for it.

Bingo.

I was talking about Nutter's sermon yesterday with my dad.  We both think he's spot-on, but my dad thinks he'll be able to get away with his comments because Nutter's black.  "Oh no no no," I argued.  "He'll get away with it for a few days.  Just until the national race-based establishment gets ahold of it.  Then he'll be dragged over the coals for being 'divisive' and 'exclusionary' in only calling out the 'sons and daughters' of Philly's 'black community.'  He'll end up doing a mea culpa walkback of his remarks, during which he'll have to mention that 'black kids' aren't the only ones causing trouble.  It'll happen.  Just give it time."

My dad still disagrees.  Sadly, I think my dad is wrong as wrong can be.

They can merely plead that "he was a good boy who fell in with a bad lot". The fact of his death will end the riots toot sweet. So you are facing what is known as a Cost Benefit Analysis. How much cost is the riot costing per hour versus how much possible pay outs his death would cause the state. This is England, I don't think they have a Lottery Legal System like we do.

I hate to sound racist, but does anybody think Europe and America are all that excited about elevating more blacks to leadership positions at this point? Does anyone want to hear more bullshit how society is responsible for the behaviors of individuals? Given these two questions, there may actually be a silver lining at the end of the tunnel for all. Or there might just be more burned out no-man lands in Western cities. Go figure.

 

BTW, why hasn't Jessie flown to London to speak against police brutality? He has been remarkably quiet these last couple of years.

VDH's column about the woman who was killed by the gang banger is haunting me right now.  There's a comment in there about how the police said that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and VDH's response was that no, she wasn't.  She was at a car wash where she had every right to be.  Something about that resonates with me, especially in light of other current world events.  It's back to the point that those who are abiding by civilized rules are the ones who are being destroyed.  The implications of that are deeply, deeply worrying.

Insty's been pointing out for ages that people are taking note that the way to keep your religion from being critized is to behead people.  The incentive system that is currently in place leads to Mad Max.

Do.  Not.  Want.

The Brits are buying Amazon out of baseball bats.

First off, it's great that Brits are finally realizing that their government doesn't give a rat's ass about doing its duty and protecting them, and they're starting to want to protect themselves again. I consider that progress, because baby steps are still steps.  But...

...This means that those doing the purchasing either expect the riots to continue long enough for their baseball bats to be delivered before they're over, or expect more riots in the future.  If they DO expect to receive their bats before the riots are over...

... they also foolishly expect that the Royal mail will be delivered amidst mass anarchy in the streets.  This is doubly foolish given the point made above RE: the British government's attitude towards its own people. 

It's quaint, in a darkly comic kind of way.

138 Your statement on Reid's picks is spot on.  The left will ride their statist horse until it's legs fall off because it is good for them.  They have a captive cadre of takers backing them up who give no thought whatsoever to where the money they take comes from, just that they get it.  They could care less that the money they get free loses value because as long as it has any value at all, it is more valuable than the money that they work for - which is zero (since they refuse to work).

The original Mayor Daley had it right when dealing with the scum in 1968.

The Mayor, obviously angry ... in his 15-minute press conference, in which he declined to discuss any other topic ... Daley opened his blast at police by saying he had given Conlisk

"instructions which I thought were the instructions on the night of the 5th, but which were not carried out. I said to him very emphatically and very definitely that an order be issued immediately under his [Conlisk's] signature to shoot to kill any arsonist or anyone with Molotov cocktails in their hand to fire a building because they are potential murderers, and to also order police to shoot to maim or cripple anyone looting any stores in the city"

That incentive system has been in place for pretty much all of human history.  What changed was that we 'outsourced' our protection (from criminals) from ourselves to the government.

Police (as in: Police Department) only really means "Civil (or City) Administration"  Original police departments were only concerned with "public order" (that is, getting drunks off the street- either home or into the drunk tank, stopping riots, etc.), they didn't do much of what we consider "police work" now- stopping and investigating crime.

They didn't do that because they weren't expected to.  Now, some very, very good things came from that change, but the "slippery slope" people- once again- turned out to be right.  By allowing all criminal enforcement to be done by the state (instead of by citizens, perhaps with some specific kind of oversight), we've gotten to the point where any victim of a crime is, in some manner, "to blame."

Now, I'm not advocating pure vigilante justice, or even a significant move from today's paradigm is good or needed, but when I give up some of my power (my Liberty) to the State, I should be able to expect the State to protect me.  However, the State, despite it's size, is not capable of protecting everyone all the time.  So the question is which is more important, keeping "vigilante justice" off the table, or letting criminals know that there's a good chance their next victim might just shoot them instead?

I will point this out, too: even in bloodiest days of the wild west (were "vigilante justice" really did kind of exist), murders in fairly big cities were counted with single digits.  Double digits meant it had been an incredibly bad year.

(CNN Money) The risk of double dip recession is rising.

And while economists disagree on just how likely the U.S. economy is to fall into another downturn, they generally agree on one thing -- a new recession would be worse than the last and very difficult to pull out of.

"Going back into recession now would be scary, because we don't have the resources or the will to respond, and our initial starting point is such a point of weakness," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "It won't feel like a new recession. It would likely feel like a depression."

Zandi said the recent sell-off in stocks have caused him to raise the odds of a new recession to 33% from 25% only 10 days ago.

 

Only a 33% chance? No wonder why the economic "experts" see increased unemployment as "unexpected" every time it happens

185 Fox News radio is reporting the Tolleebon leader responsible for the deaths of our SEALs and troops has been killed.

And I'm still waitin for my cut, ho.

200 The Supreme Court has also ruled that the police cannot be held liable for failing to protect you.

I didn't know the Supreme's had ruled that, but I knew that was the rule.  And it's in complete contradiction of the police state (note the little 'p') we currently have.  I'm encouraged, in lots of ways, not to carry a weapon for personal defense.  I'm encouraged not to "encourage" or "provoke" an attacker/mugger/whatever.  If I get mugged, the Police will put Top. Men. on finding my assailant, but if I fight back and he gets hurt, I'll get sued (and, if there aren't enough witnesses, possibly thrown in jail).  If I'm going to give up all of that, they have a resultant obligation to protect me.

Now, a lot of that is mitigated for me, personally, because I live in Texas, and we're kind of a "shoot first, question the body" kind of State, but I do know that to be true in many other areas.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!  That, btw, is not a slam on the police.  I do not want to live in a society where the police are only seconds away from everyone all the time. 

The issue in the UK is that the State took away the power to protect oneself without assuming the responsibility of protection.  Anyone who thought that would end well is an utter, utter idiot.

The bat thing fascinates me because I'm very certain that the use of bats for self-protection would fall within the realm of can't do that, dear boy.  The fact that the British public is saying well yeah fuck that is a minorly hopeful sign.  Of course, I am Steynlevel pessimistic about what will happen.

WD-40 has several problems beyond gumming things up... it burns, really well.  No point in adding carbon.  Same goes for cooking oil--although PAM for grilling might work, as it's made for higher temps.  I prefer to stick with lube made for the equipment I'm using, though.  In the sandbox, I used remington dry lube religiously and exclusively and never had a malfunction due to lubrication issues.

No, for sharpening the edge.

238 WD40 is not a lubricant and should not be used on a gun, except maybe if your refurbishing a old piece. MILTECH 1 as above or dry lube only. Please we may need all of the support available soon.

241 66 i don't understand why looters are not shot dead...
---
Let me put my lefty goggles on:
The answer is - it makes more looters.
The logical answer would be it prevents more from being born. But who needs logic with these sparkly glasses.

242 I moved across the state line last year to La. where my grandson lives but I can be back in 20 min.

That's great!

When we were moving down to Houston (driving from Boston) ten years ago or so we stopped in Lafayette, LA for the night.  Had dinner at Randoll's (dall's?).  It was really magical somehow.  There were bus loads of folks there from various parishes, lots of whom were speaking French or Franglais (which we kind of understand).  Grandpas dancing with their grand kids and great food.  Really wonderful. 

Hubby overheard them talking about "the redhead" (me; I gather it's something of a commodity down there) and as we were leaving for the night the folks were talking about the "grenouille de bois" (tree frogs) who were making a racket. 

243 Actually the cloth with WD-40 on it is a dry cloth so there is barely a hint and I have no problems to date.

244 I don't like New Orleans at all, but Lafayette was great. 

245

WD40 is not a lubricant

Thought this was going to be a response to the Bwaney Fwank sock

246

From the NYT:

"The Federal Reserve’s finding on Tuesday that there is little prospect for rapid economic growth over the next two years was the latest in a summer of bad economic news. One administration official called the atmosphere around the president’s economic team “angry and morose.”

On Tuesday afternoon, the White House announced that Mr. Obama would be taking an “economic bus tour” in the Midwest next week, with stops in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota.

Though the trip is not a campaign event, it could help shape votersÂ’ perceptions of whether Mr. Obama is more concerned about being remembered for that one good term or whether he wants another four years in the Oval Office no matter what."

Amazing how well they shovel this shit. Not a campaign event? Good God these heathens are brazen.

247

Jean,

WD-40 is great for the OUTSIDE of a gun, if you're going to be keeping it somewhere damp. 

But it's just easier to keep all your lubricants the same.  Right now I'm considering stocking up on that orange stuff they put on movie theater popcorn to use as lubricant... because when the cops ask for your alibi, you can claim you were at the movies!

249 251,

I'm 100miles west of Lafayette connected to Lake Charles.

250 Interesting, the TSX isn't following US markets so far.

251 253, Do you really think that asshat is going to ride in a bus? I bet he choppers in to an airport and the bus picks him up and takes him to a rally site.

252 227 I guess cricket bats and croquet clubs (or whatever the call them) don't work as well for pounding on some rioting yutes?

Posted by: yinzer at August 10, 2011 10:15 AM (/Mla1)

See, I'd think cricket bats would be BETTER, since they're flat and thus cover more area for a greater spread of pain.  But then again, if you want to really HURT someone, the same amount of pressure in a more concentrated area is the way to go.  Also, you can't really cave someone's skull in with a cricket bat like you can a baseball bat.  Or so I've heard.  <_<  

As for croquet mallets, meh.  The handles would snap.  Now POLO mallets you MIGHT be able to use, provided you were taking down rioting yutes from a moving vehicle, like a bicycle.  Or a tank.

253

I'm back bitchez!

254 I'd imagine they make a pleasant "whacking" sound when they connect with a thug's skull.  Then you can dispose of the body. I've taken and taught more than a few classes on fighting with an entrenching tool when I was a wee grunt. It's the lovely sharp edge that's my favorite part, versus the blunt force trauma possibilities. And it's a lot easier, not to mention more productive, to stab someone in the gut or base of the throat with the point than to connect with a haymaker.

256 The problem is with what WD40 decomposes to -- and Dagny I highly recommend it for Mr. Frank, it should in time prevent untimely, on-air flatulence.

257 Oh, Verizon is offering $50k rewards for catching whoever is cutting their fiber optic landlines. At last report, 12 lines had been cut. Strangely enough, 45k landline workers are on strike at Verizon.
 
I doubt there is any correlation between the cuttings and the strike though.

It will be General Assembly so US has no veto, and I am sure we would be absent that day anyway. Andy McCarthy over a NRO on this: http://tinyurl.com/3smyect At any rate, this will not end well.

261 Verizon trained everyone to do the job of the union folks on strike. They had everything under control, everything running like a top.  This must have upset the folks on strike cause it seems the company barely hiccuped when they didn't show up to work.

278 I never feel any sympathy toward striking "workers" (and I have a couple of nice-enough relatives who are in unions), but I have to say these Verizon ones really take the cake.  Even before the line-cutting the first footage I saw of them was terrible.  Big, loud, drunken-seeming jerks who look like they spend more time at sports bars than at work. 

I'm about to switch (finally) to a Utah phone number and was going to upgrade my enV to an iPhone.  Trying to decide between Verizon and AT&T (hubby is on the latter).  These jerks are making me think twice about that decision.

Think about it, though: everyone knows Huntsman is going precisely nowhere.  He's not even a blip- even the part of "Next Turn" doesn't think it's his turn, so he's not going to get the nod.  By endorsing Huntsman, what he's really saying to the rest of the field is, "Don't ask."

Kind of the perfect endorsement.  Jon Huntsman Jr, who is riding on Senior's coat tails, gets the endorsement of Jeb Bush Jr, who is nobody of note compared to his father.

I have been saying for a while - the people who are doing the right things and playing by the rules are going to get boned. Inflation will tear up those savings that aren't making any interest.     Provided we survive Barackolypse (cats and dogs living together - end times), investments in rental real estate may be the smartest choice at this point. Insure that you finance with fixed rate interest and select proven rental locations. At that point you will be applauding every increase in inflation as your property's value will increase with it. I am thinking beach houses may be the investment given the amount of leverage that went into beach properties in the last decade and amount of distressed properties. Just a thought. Its that 70s show all over again.

However, the economic benefits they offer a city such a Jacksonville won't even cause a ripple in a city such as L.A. or a state such as California. The taxpayers will pay for the stadium to be built and then, when they get a team, they will have to split the parking revenue with the team and will have to foot the cost for the concessionairs. And, they will probably offer huge tax incentives to the team just to get them on-board.

360 The NYT has an interesting question to ask - for a change. How much security will the Brits need to protect the London Olympics... from their own citizens?
