“In Texas, where I grew up, the bollocks we’re seeing in the UK right now would have lasted maybe five, possibly ten minutes max, before a private citizen, business owner, or Sheriff Dudley Paunch Gut of the Muleshoe PD woulda put a hollow point in some skinny hooligan’s backside. It would have been the shortest-lived revolt in modern history. Next!
Matter of fact, when I was a “working class youth†back in the day I was too damn tired to spark a rebellion after a hard day’s toil in the hot Lone Star sun.
For instance, back in 1981 when the cops shot one of my criminal buddies for being, well, a criminal, I was too exhausted after a day’s labor to torch my innocent neighbor’s house, bomb a school bus, crap on my front porch, make a black dude strip naked and give me his clothes, or steal televisions. I was too pooped to vandalize—I mean, fight against my oppressors.
Word to the BBC: How about we call these “working class youths†something more like “non-working, government-sponging entitlement mooksâ€? How’s that?”
