I've given up on my initial reactions- rubber bullets, deportation, etc. Anyway, England no longer sends its miscreants to Australia! China used to send upstarts to work the fields,etc. Evicting people from their homes will clog the streets and create more problems.
The reaction is fear of mob rule, injury/death, property loss and damage. Also fear of gangs. Jail won't solve it. Re-education and economics will, but can't happen overnight. Plus the way bankers and CEO's cause great damage yet get off the hook doesn't help in a fair solution. For most- return of stolen property or payments for damages, working to repair damge to property, period of probation and some kind of group re-hab. Sweat and remorse. :-) We- the USA- have sent a policeman seasoned with our own riots- he will have better ideas. , On Aug 12, 7:28 am, Lee Douglas <[email protected]> wrote: > So as we should all know we have had quite a week of it here in the > UK.
