It is simply a symptom of society in decay!

The real looters were those who contributed to the economic meltdown, and I include most stratas of society in that.

The bankers, the financiers, the successive governments who wanted growth at any cost, and the bottom feeders...the consumers.

As retribution, the middle and lower orders see public services and wages being cut, inflation rising etc,while those at the top of the "democratic" shit heap are unaffected.

Dont you realise that people are getting angry? When they are angry they do desperate, sometimes stupid things.

There is no easy or painless answer to changing a socio/ political system, but change we must, for there is nothing else here but the road to Fascism.
