||feral youth||
ignoblebeasts:
London’s deputy mayor in charge of policing, Kit Malthouse, said that these were young people “intent on violence, who are looking for the opportunity to steal and set fire to buildings and create a sense of mayhem, whether they’re anarchists or part of organized gangs or just feral youth, frankly, who fancy a new pair of trainers.”

Reasons for the Riots →
totheexperts:
Camila Batmanghelidjh: Caring costs – but so do riots (The Independent)
London has woken up to street violence, and the usual narratives have emerged – punish those responsible for the violence because they are “opportunist criminals” and “disgusting thieves”. The slightly more intellectually curious might blame the trouble on poor police relations or lack of policing.

SPIN: Kreayshawn's White Girl Mob & The N-Word. →
interesting, though i’m wary of what seems to be an argument for “empathizing with” “hip hop’s upward mobility narratives.”

new alabama law will prevent undocumented migrants... →
Like Arizona’s SB 1070, the bill mandates that police investigate and detain anyone they have “reasonable suspicion” to believe may be undocumented. It also contains provisions that are commonplace among anti-immigrant laws: it spells out explicitly that undocumented immigrants may not access public benefits. It mandates that the state take part in E-Verify, the flawed federal employment...
