Once again, the peaceniks show their more accurate nature.
This link was left by a commenter below, with this longer version that seems to show where the violence starts. It shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone

Olympic hopefuls. Aren’t they a riot?
Remember the British girl who was selected to be an Olympic ambassador or something like that, who was caught rioting during the recent set of melees in England? Well it turns out she really was a role model to at least one Canadian Olympic athletic hopeful.
Muslims do not react well to the ban on street prayers in France…
And demand that Muslims take up arms against the French state while chanting ‘death to Jews’. Translators note: We found most of what this person was screaming, incomprehensible. We translated only what we could actually understand. By now however, I feel readers can translate the Arabic bits for themselves.
Second straight day of rioting on Lampedusa Island
The gratitude of refugees rescued and put up at this Italian Island is measurable in dollars of damage done it appears.

Israel evacuates embassy in Jordan ahead of protests
From The Jerusalem Post
Israel tells diplomats in Amman to come home as Facebook page calls for protest under the banner:”No Zionist embassy on Jordanian territory”; decision comes days after protesters storm mission in Cairo.
Israel evacuated its embassy in Jordan Wednesday evening, hours before a Facebook organized march under the banner (in Arabic) of “No Zionist embassy on Jordanian territory.”
Unlike in Egypt, where diplomats lived with their families, in Amman the Israeli delegation serves without their families, and comes home for weekends.

CAIRO (AP) — A group of about 30 protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo Friday and dumped hundreds of documents out of the windows, Egyptian and Israeli officials said.
Hundreds of protesters had been converging on the embassy throughout the afternoon and into the night, tearing down large sections of a security wall outside the 21-story building housing the embassy. Egyptian security forces made no attempt for hours to intervene.
Just before midnight, a group of protesters reached a room on one of the embassy’s lower floors at the top of the building and began dumping Hebrew-language documents from the windows, said an Egyptian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
In Jerusalem, an Israeli official confirmed the embassy had been broken into, saying it appeared the group reached a waiting room on the lower floor. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to release the information.
No one answered the phone at the embassy late Friday.

Teenager who urged Facebook friends to ‘kill a million police’ and looter who took a single lick of stolen ice cream are jailed
I find it especially interesting that the Judge is allowing minors to be named.This would suggest that the British establishment is taking these events very seriously, as typically, the leftist narative that has ruled British jurisprudence for some time now, would put the rights of an offender far far above the rights of a mere victim.
From The Daily Mail:
- Another rioter who found nothing left worth stealing in camera store is also locked up for 16 months
- Man who was so drunk he had forgotten he had been on a riot is jailed
- Now more than 2,000 have been held over London rioting in total

Amed Pelle, 18, used Facebook to incite violence
A teenager who used Facebook to encourage the ‘killing of a million police officers’ during the riots has been jailed for 33 months.
Amed Pelle incited his 2,000 friends on the site to commit violence and looting in Nottingham.
He asked if any of them ‘wanted anything’ from a fashion store that was later targeted.
The jobless 18-year-old posted three messages on his Facebook ‘wall’ on August 9, hours before serious disorder broke out in his home city.
The first two read ‘Nottz Riot whose onit?’ and ‘Kill one black youth, we kill a million Fedz (police), riot til we own cities’. It is believed the second message was a reference to Mark Duggan, whose death in Tottenham sparked the original trouble.
In his third message, Pelle wrote: ‘Rioting 2nyt anyone want anything from (fashion chain) Flannels?’ The store, in Nottingham city centre, had its windows smashed hours later.
Pelle had pleaded guilty to a breach of section 44 of the Serious Crime Act 2007, doing an act which was capable of encouraging or assisting the commission of an offence, namely violent disorder.
Judge John Milmo told Pelle that his comments ‘encouraged attacks on the people of Nottingham as a whole, and the people of other cities.’
Sentencing the teenager to two years and nine months in a young offenders’ institution, he added: ‘Your offence was designed to, and could well have led to, increased numbers on the street intent on violence to persons and property.
‘An element of deterrence is called for in cases like this. A clear signal needs to be sent out that criminal conduct of the kind demonstrated in these cases is out of order and will not be brushed under the carpet.’
Ice cream thief: Anderson Fernandes, 21, was jailed – despite giving away his ice cream after just one lick
His sentence came as a looter who took just one lick of an ice cream he stole during rioting before he gave it away was jailed for 16 months.
Anderson Fernandes, 21, wandered into an upmarket store in central Manchester after the door was left open and helped himself to a cone and two scoops.
But despite giving it to a passer-by because he didn’t like the coffee flavour he was still given a lengthy prison term.
The sentence will fuel fears that courts are meting out disproportionate justice to those caught up in the disorder.
Callum Marley, 20, was also locked up for 16 months in Manchester despite stealing nothing from a looted store.
He crawled under ransacked shutters at a Cash Generator pawnbrokers yet left empty handed when he found nothing worth taking – because everything had been taken already.
Figures last week showed that rioters were getting sentences which were ’40 per cent longer’ than people found guilty of equivalent offences. Continue Reading →
UK riots: The end of the liberals’ great moral delusion
The Telegraph:
The Left has gone into overdrive in its attempts to rewrite the history of the riots, but the public knows the truth.

There is no national debate about the epidemic of riots and looting that spread through our cities like a bush fire. Out there in the real world, where people go about the normal business of life, there is no sign of the heated argument that the media is so determined to air. In fact, I cannot remember a time when there has been such crushing unanimity on a matter of public importance: the answers to the questions of why this happened, what went wrong when it began to happen and what needs to follow in its aftermath are considered so blindingly self-evident as to be beyond rational disagreement.
At the margins of this consensus, there are some distant noises off. They are the desperate cries of those who fear that they have lost the argument of a lifetime and who want to persuade the great mass of the population that what it saw before its own eyes, hour by hour, night after night on the television news channels was something else altogether.
The Left-liberal camp is in overdrive in its campaign to rewrite history (or, in its own vocabulary, to alter consciousness): you did not see thousands of jubilant thugs rampaging through the streets, destroying livelihoods and property for the sheer exultant joy of it. What you saw were society’s victims responding to any or all of the following: bankers’ bonuses, MPs cheating on their expenses, unemployment, government spending cuts, poverty, social inequality, etc, etc. Their crimes were simply part of the same package of callous selfishness displayed by (as one particularly bizarre equation had it) tabloid phone hackers.
What is not ludicrous and insulting to common sense in these propositions is contradictory in its own terms. There are indeed views of the human condition which hold that all species of wickedness are connected, because they are all rooted in the fact that man is a fallen creature. But somehow I doubt that the ardent liberal secularists who were piping up last week were believers in original sin or the machinations of the Devil.
The moral equivalence that they wanted to establish between looters and arsonists on the one hand, and the perpetrators of any other kind of bad behaviour you can think of on the other, was rooted in ideological, not theological, orthodoxy. The rioting gangs could not simply be what they seemed – what they so obviously were – because that would be a devastating victory for the judgment of popular opinion over the fantasies of liberalism.

Time for some Steyn
Here are a few interviews with Mr. Steyn on the British riots. Of course he is spot on, which, as I have realized over the past few years, means absolutely nothing, as we seem to have abandoned the truth itself as a method of evaluating information. Fortunately Mark Steyn is also funny which gives him at least a chance of being heard before he is arrested for challenging the new orthodoxy.
By the way, he mentions Hayek’s important book, ‘The Road to Serfdom’. Here is a classic comics version of it.

“Horrible zombie Husks” Man that guy can turn a phrase.
The statistics in this clip above, are truly frightening. Sam Raimi needs to do a movie about British zombies shuffling through the streets looking for an open welfare office left un-torched
Mark Steyn, like a precious few today, is a national treasure. I have been following his writing since he had a column at the National Post. One of the reasons I admire him is that when he makes an outrageous, ‘can’t be true’ must-be-a-wild-exageration claim, when you look it up it is either dead on the facts or he has under-stated his own case and things are more the way he said it is than he said it is.

An Oxford law graduate hurled bricks at police officers in broad daylight during London’s riots last week, a court heard, while two sons of an evangelist minister have been accused of looting from an Iceland in Croydon.
Fahim Wahid Alam, 25, is accused of joining a mob that attacked police in Hackney at the height of the riots on Monday afternoon and Sam and Michael Caillaux targeted the supermarket at the height of the chaos.
Alam, who also has a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics, attacked police as he walked home from a job interview with the London Civic Forum, Highbury Corner magistrates’ court heard yesterday.

Some seriously messed up things are happening to my site today. This is the third time I have attempted to post this video, and I can’t be bothered to rewrite the whole opinion part of it again till its fixed. Sorry for the slow posting. It appears as if some totalitarian minded person or group is attempting to restrict my right of expression as well as all of yours here at this site today.
It is interesting though, what the anchor woman thinks is shocking. I would say I thought other things where.
