"The Man" warns of summer of rage and violence

[Dec]

Basically, the po-po are saying that we're in for a summer of violent protests because of the collapse of capitalism economic recession.

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"

Clearly he forgot the real reason there will be "rage and violence"; this Summer see's Limp Bizkit return to the festival circuit.

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.

The moral of the story is don't be a hippy poof.
