| "The Man" warns of summer of rage and violence Basically, the po-po are saying that we're in for a summer of violent protests because of the collapse of capitalism economic recession. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/fe...rest-recession Quote:
Britain's most senior police officer with responsibility for public order raised the spectre of a return of the riots of the 1980s, with people who have lost their jobs, homes or savings becoming "footsoldiers" in a wave of potentially violent mass protests.
Superintendent David Hartshorn, who heads the Metropolitan police's public order branch, told the Guardian that middle-class individuals who would never have considered joining demonstrations may now seek to vent their anger through protests this year.
| The subtext of all this, is "We're in the mood for cracking skulls, so if you're protesting this summer, expect to get a bit bloody"

| Re: "The Man" warns of summer of rage and violence I'm not 100% sure but I reckon there was probably a higher proportion of the population that was young and male at the time of the riots in the 80's. That will likely have some bearing on this guys prediction. |
