Britain has been cracking down fairly hard on rioters and on those who used social media to attempt to provoke riots.
Cue the outrage:
How else are the rioters to repay the damage they caused if not taken from the benefits they think they deserve?

if I was on a window ledge listening to this,
which way would I fall?
Thanks, EBD! Boy that brings back memories. I used to listen to Reginald Dixon back in 1946 on the BBC and now I’ve built and am playing my own copy of the Blackpool organ from sampled sounds. I always loved his bouncy style and have a few of his CD’s to remind me.
A sensible approach to the welfare state?

No seriously! I think you could get 90% of conservatives to back this.
This is interesting:
“While U.S. news feature information that (Anders) Breivik purchased ammo from a U.S. supplier, Eastern European feeds are full of details of Breivik’s multiple trips to Belarus, changes in his behavior and wealth, and the training he underwent in Belarusian militant camps. In fact, Belarus’ tight government regime and active intelligence have served a great purpose this time around. Even though Breivik didn’t do anything suspicious at the time, Belarusian KGB kept precise records on Breivik, who was called ‘Viking’ in the intelligence reports.”
[…]
“It appears that the Norwegian terrorist underwent the militant-terrorist training under the guidance of 51-year-old Valery Lunev, a former colonel of Belarusian special forces, who now lives in Netherlands but regularly visits Belarus. According to Mikhail Reshetnikov, the Head of the Party of Belarus Patriots who is familiar with the intelligence records, ‘Breivik visited Belarus three times. Last Spring, while actively preparing for the terrorist attacks, he entered Poland with his own passport, and then travelled to Minsk under a passport of another European country. He recently got a Belarusian girlfriend and obtained access to significant amounts of money.'”

The City of Saskatoon is being run by a bunch of IDIOTS. Firstly, The city runs a bus to and from the Downtown to the Airport. Less than three people utilize the bus per day. This costs the taxpayers 300,000 dollars per year to run. Now the taxpayers find our that the Little chief Police Station is manned by 2 Commissionaires and not Police Officers. These Commissionaires field 17 calls per month. Not even 1 call per day. This costs the Saskatoon Taxpayers 110,000 dollars per year. WTF is Don Atchison, Murry Totland, and city council doing? Well let me tell you. THEY ARE FLUSHING TAXPAYER DOLLARS DOWN THE TOILET. Call the mayor and city councilors and demand this STOP.

Should be mandatory study material for Tea Party supporters and others, like the CPC.
From the Michael Shermer response to Haidt;
“…Further, according to the National Opinion Research Center’s General Social Surveys, 1972-2004, 44 percent of people who reported being “conservative” or “very conservative” said they were “very happy” versus only 25 percent of people who reported being “liberal” or “very liberal.” A 2007 Gallup poll found that 58 percent of Republicans versus only 38 percent of Democrats said that their mental heath is “excellent.” One reason may be that conservatives are so much more generous than liberals, giving 30 percent more money (even when controlled for income), donating more blood, and logging more volunteer hours. And it isn’t because conservatives have more expendable income. The working poor give a substantially higher percentage of their incomes to charity than any other income group, and three times more than those on public assistance of comparable income—poverty is not a barrier to charity, but welfare is. One explanation for these findings is that conservatives believe charity should be private (through religion) whereas liberals believe charity should be public (through government).
“zero tolerance on criminality was not acceptable”?
These are usually the same people who claim that zero tolerance of racism is mandatory. Even though criminality is the proper concern of the state, and racism is not.

Interesting to read all the comments by non-farmers from eastern Canada lament the loss of the CWB.
Not one mention the fact that the CWB does not even apply in the east.
National Post, Wednesday, Aug. 17.
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/08/17/ontario%E2%80%99s-cure-for-medicare-snitching/
“Ontario has taken the unprecedented step of setting up a toll-free snitch line for people to report cases of illegal private health care …”
Like, say, the Morgentaler Clinic? Isn’t it private?
“The service was prompted by evidence that doctors and clinics are routinely flouting medicare rules with sometimes creative methods of generating extra income, Deb Matthews, the province’s Health Minister, said Tuesday.”
“‘How is this going to improve patient care for anybody?’ Brett Skinner, president and health-care analyst at the conservative Fraser Institute think-tank, asked about the snitch line. ‘It’s not helping patients get better access. In fact, it’s designed to prevent patients from getting better access.'”
Because socialized medicine is not about curing the sick, it’s about gaining control over them, as well as over doctors, nurses, and everybody involved in health care.
“An official with the [Registered Nurses Association of Ontario] applauded the hot-line initiative, however …”
Next time I get sick, can I please opt not to have one of these nurses look after me? I question whether they’re interested in curing the sick either.

No, you have that turned inside out. It’s not what the anti-wind people are capable of, it’s what the Watermelons are actually doing: lying about and slandering the opponents to wind turbine development. Do you really think that if any actual threats were made, the victims of those threats would not go running to the police, McGuinty’s police, and swear out a complaint? And if any complaints were sworn out, McGuinty’s police would not hesitate to lay charges against opponents to McGuinty’s wind scam? And if anyone did get so charged, the lamestream media would not hesitate to put the charges on the front page, in huge type? So where are the news stories? Who got charged?
Sounds like the same M.O. as the AGW-peddling academics in Australia who complained of receiving threatening e-mails. (story covered here within the last month or so) The cops looked into it; turned out it was old news anyway, and the so-called “threats” were merely statements of disagreement, or empty rhetoric.
The only threat these windmill pimps in Ontario face is that of winding up in the dustbin of History.
Oooh, the Justice Department is investigating Standard and Poor’s, re. the mortgage crisis no less. I guess they musta done something wrong; thank God Holder’s on the case.

“Get ready, it’s shaping up to be an ugly morning out there”
“Markets sink”
“Uggh, it’s shaping up to be one of those mornings.”
“Global stocks and many commodities are sinking as worries pile up again about the state of the global recovery, driven by some poor signs from Japan and Britain, and lingering concerns about Europe after a meeting this week between France’s Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany’s Angela Merkel failed to calm market nerves.
Adding to the angst is a report from Morgan Stanley that warns the United States and Europe are at risk of sinking back into recession, and comments by members of the Federal Reserve’s policy-setting panel, the Federal Open Market Committee, on wny the role of the central bank isn’t to prop up stocks.”

The article was very interesting. I couldn’t decide though, if he was trying to instruct the Democrats on how to appeal to a greater slice of the population in order to ensure they would be more electable…or if he was simply commenting in a scholarly way on aspects of both groups. I suppose the article would be just as instructive to Republicans who wish to increase their appeal in the Democrat ranks. However, it also entails the risk that support gained at one end of the spectrum is lost at the other.
Thanks for this.
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/08/18/court-blocks-release-of-criminal-by-immigration-judge/
“Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board ordered a career criminal released from custody despite his being deemed “an undue risk to society,” a decision the Federal Court of Canada has denounced as unreasonable and dangerous.
The government sought emergency intervention by the court after IRB adjudicator Otto Nupponen ordered Mohamed Sako freed from immigration custody pending deportation to his native Guinea.
This is not the first time Mr. Nupponen’s decision has caused controversy.”
Maybe we should clean out the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Especially for Black Mamba
What is this guy all aboout?

Obama’s Sesame Street Bus Tour – http://wallstreetpit.com/82046-obamas-sesame-street-bus-tour
“‘The time has come for President Assad to step aside’: Obama”
“Stocks getting crushed while gold soars
Ouch, it’s as bad as we thought — maybe worse.”
http://www.nationalpost.com/
Driving down the street this AM and the newsman said that Obambam called on Assad to step down. In perfect harmony my wife and I shouted back “You first Obozo”.
That being said I think I might be developing Obama derangement syndrome. I looked at Drudge last night and saw the headline about a brain killing amoeba. I assumed they were talking about Obama.
Well looky here, Ricky Perry goes all kissy kissy with Davy Rockerfelly and has attended a Bilderberg meet in 2007….Yeah, I know, Ron Paul is unelectable….No worries we don’t need old wacky Paul, Ricky is taking shots at Bernanke and the Federal Reserve; never mind that he has not yet promised anything like say, auditing it if elected; but he sounds tough with words like “treasonous”; and he has guns to…Ehaaah!…Go Perry, Go!
And the MSM ‘accepts’ him to! So, Status Quo forever!

Indy @10:30 – he says “aboot”, so there’s that. And he looks like he should be an extra on Starsky and Hutch. But at least he’s not a smelly hippie.
I can’t really understand anyone getting interested enough in the Monarchy debate (be awfully difficult to abolish constitutionally BTW)that he decides to dedicate free time to it when there may well be Boba Fett figurines in their original packages which go as yet uncollected, but that’s just me.
Another Walt Disney moment:

Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her.

Bad enough that we hand out drugs and needles here in vancouver. Now, in their infinite wisdom, are going to hand out crack pipes as well. 4 months since the riot and still no one charged. Gregor Robertson is an idiot.
My apologies. There have been 2 charges laid so far in connection with the vancouver riot.
