Victim Hoodie

It's astounding. The feral lay-abouts run amok, torching neighbourhood shops, looting plasma flatscreens and assorted 'life essentials', engage in some light killing and maiming and the usual left-wing clap trap gets brought out again. 'They only wanted a platform, they are demanding a voice, it's society what gone and made them do it.' Basically, the bizarre logic seems to be that the ones who are culpable are not the actual perpetrators, but rather the hard-working middle classes (so despised by English left-wing chattering classes) who pay taxes and have some ambition and a modicum of morality.

It amazes me that the likes of the ABC here in Australia, of course the BBC and the Guardian in the UK, are so keen on turning the wayward feral youths into victims, thus removing all sense of accountability from these groups. Perhaps some are 'disadvantaged'. Would that be a reason perhaps for such an individual to get off their video-game wielding arse, pick up a course or learn a trade and make something of themselves, possibly in spite of the odds? Listening to the liberal geniuses, the obvious course of action is rather to get your mates together and smash the windows of your local shop, loot anything valuable, taking care to destroy as much as possible on the way and then as a final parting gesture torch the livelihood of some hard-working small business man/woman/family. That kind of logic bodes well for the future. Not..
