Would I be wrong to ask just one question concerning the UK riots?

The question is this. Why in the Hell doesn’t the British government order the police to shoot these miscreant bastards? Would I be insensitive if I asked that? And by the way, I am in FULL agreement with Donald Douglas on what to do if this type of madness starts here

I’ll tell you this: If it’s coming to America, I will never be forced to strip down to my underwear upon threats from possessed underclass ruffians. I will fight these people to the death. When society has lost its collective mind, and when authorities are helpless to do the thing that they are established to do — keep order and decency — then you have to protect yourself and your family. I will not have my wife and children stripped and humiliated and robbed of their clothing on the freakin’ streets. And I would help anyone facing such raw brutality if I see it happening to them in person. It can happen here. See London’s Daily Mail, “Forced to strip naked in the street: Shocking scenes as rioters steal clothes and rifle through bags as people make their way home.” I’ll have more on this. The British government clearly isn’t up to the task of defending against lawlessness

One of the commentors at American Power makes a great point, that I also thought of

The only reason these things happen in the UK is because of a disarmed populace. Here in Texas this would last about one hour.

The UK has disarmed its people, and now, these thugs recognize that they can have easy pickings
