Britain new did have there Bastille day. Maybe that’s what they need.
Oh Allen just hush. There’s nothing to infer from these riots that’s necessarily political in nature. The crowds aren’t massing in the street yelling “Peace! Freedom! Bread!,” they’re roaming the streets looking for easy marks and destroying their own neighborhoods.
