The Clockwork Orange Dilemma! Riots, Reflections andRamifications MRDA's Inferno

When folk get angry, why do they always piss on their own doorstep? Westminster is only abus ride away.

-Tunnocks, Guardian Reader

But this I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerfulAndwhen they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees,

if only they hadpower.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

It took only two bullets to rupture therelative calm of a whole country

and,more than three weeks later, thewound remains sore and exposed.

However I wont delve too deeply into thecircumstances surrounding MarkDuggans fatal shooting by the Boys inBlue; nor those of the ensuing protest,two days later. Much remains to beclarified over those two occurrences: didDuggan unwittingly commit suicide-by-cop, or receive a summary execution alaJean Charles de Menezes? Did thepolice go on to batter a peacefulprotestor, or a pugilist? The little that hascome to light hardly sheds any in return.

Still, I will spout off a few paragraphs concerning the now-infamous riots that springboarded off of those

events

Even with my anti-state sympathies, I dont buy Darcus Howes romantic rationale of the riots as some sort ofinsurrection against state oppression; in fact, were I in the boots of a Syrian insurrectio nist, Id be prettyfucking pissed-off to be compared to such pointlessly destructive herd-animals. Perhaps if the riotersfocused their fury on the swine of the state, he, and theotherswhoveexpressedsimilarsentiments, mighthave a leg to stand on; as it rests, the only liberation that took place involved either TVs n trainers fromretail parks, orPSPs from student backpacks. Similarly,beyond a single Brummie police station, the onlyestablishments I recall going up in smoke belonged to those living and working amidst (most of) the rioters.

Pauline Pearce, the "Hackney heroine", saw what many handholding bleeding-hearts failed to: predation, notprinciple, powered the riots.

Thus, as someone of a similar socioeconomic strata to the bulk of rioters, I resent the implication that thoseherd-minded fucks smash, steal and slay in my name.

With all that said, it must mean thepolice(wo)man is my friend, r ight?

Likefuck it does!

Even ifPlod-worship were my thing, Idfind my faith sorely tested by their (lackof) reaction to the blatant dutty teefbehaviour unfolding before their eyes;the sight of swine standing inches awayfrom the criminals theyre contracted tocapture still stands as one of the more

memorable visuals from last weeksexcitement. It fell to various localcommunity squads, ofassortedancestries, to protect themselves fromplunder, and, barring the Muslimsmowed-down in Birmingham, they made adecent fist of keeping the cunts at bay.Had these vigorous vigilantes packed the (fire)powerof their Korean cousins in the L.A. Riots, perhaps therout wouldve been routed a lot sooner.

As it stands, their making-do with clubs and scythes proved enough to provoke a squeal from the statessows, with the Met.s Steve Kavanagh decrying the self-defence squads for having the audacity to protect

whats theirs. The message sounds loud n clear: threaten the states monopoly on violence and the police[will have to] go and do the vigilantes as well as the other problems theyve got.

I must admit, I find the concept of anarcho-tyranny, coined by paleocon scribe Sam Francis, describes thisstate of affairs perfectly; the unspoken police policy of laissez-faire toward the rioters, and zero-tolerancetoward the riot-intolerant, strikes me as a sterling example of a system that criminalize[s] the innocent andignore[s] real criminals. If they caught, say, some bloke defending his home from arson with a show of force,it wouldnt surprise me if they treated him to a Rodney King-style baton party (with the would-be firestarterfilming it on his cameraphone).

Speaking of paleocon concerns, Ive readand seen quite a bit of commentarytouching on the place of race in thisfirestorm. If it wasnt multiculturalists andracial nationalists playing Manicheangames with their favoured n disfavouredgroups, it was historians offering upsloppily-worded critiques reeking ofessentialism. On top of that were played-out Planet of the Apes jibes, Leftistsmears on white self-defence squads,reporters PC-policing eyewitnesses, andthe odd Enoch was right commentcalling for the deportation of (British-born) black rioters. Yet, for all the race-

baiting and theorizing, I noticed a distinctlack of on-the-ground representationfrom the race-nationalist contingent. Inthe advent of civil unrest, why didnt theBNP step up to defend the land they(claim to) love?

Were I an Anglo-racialist, Id be very, very wary of their sincerity; unfortunately for Griffin and co, it seemssome in the milieu picked up on their poor show

We need a strong BNP I hear some naive folks say really? The partys only response this

week was to send out a begging text LONDON BURNING DONATE 3, DONATE,DONATE, DONATE!

While British citizens fleeing from burning buildings and our major cities are engulfed inlawlessness the so-called big boys of nationalism can only offer our beleaguered people theopportunity to donate 3 to their leaky coffers !

What an utter disgrace and shameful stunt that should now convince even the most loyal ofwhat the real motivation of the party leaders is these days.

James Dowson

As the dust settled, pundits and politicossearched for more scapegoats toslaughter.A variety of voices volunteeredtheir reasons for the riots, whichincluded, amongst others: consumerism;the erosion of benefits; the availability ofbenefits; hooded clothing; single-parentfamilies; a lack of belief in the Biblicalbogeyman; and the reality ofmoralrelativism. We even had Noel Gallagher,and Jo fucking Frostthe soddingSupernannyblaming it on that well-wornbugbear of busybody breeders: videogames!

However, Parasite-in-Power, DavidCameron, outdid Frost in the laughabilitystakes; fresh from frolicking in Tuscanyon taxpayer money, whilst Londonburned, he overcompensated with thispharisaic pearl

It is a complete lack ofresponsibility in parts of oursociety, people allowed to feel theworld owes them something, thattheir rights outweigh theirresponsibilities and their actionsdo not have consequences.

I wonder: was he on about parts ofsociety in Wood Green, orWestminster?

DAVID CAMERON faced aninternal inquiry yesterday into

claims he "maxed out" his secondhome expenses.

The Tory leader took out a 350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage and then paid off a 75,000loan soon afterwards.

The financial juggling may have cost taxpayers as much as 22,000.

-Jason Beattie, The Daily Record. June 1st 2009

Is that a mote I see in your eye, Davey-boy?

In any case, Cameron claimed to have just the antidote to remedy the moral malady he diagnosed: moreswine on the streets; fussing in familial affairs; stupid sentencing; and Mubarak-styleclampdowns oncommunication (which thankfully got taken offline, a few days back). It all amounts to a concoction that toomany of the electorate seem eager to gulp down, going by their endorsements of measures thatjail folk forposting dumb shit on Facebook, and punish parents for the sins of their spawn.

4/4

This whole situation strikes me as a sterling example of what I call the Clockwork Orange dilemma: muchlikeAlex, that storys protagonist, the citizenry finds itself presented with a choice between the cancer ofcrime and the cure of constraintthe id and the superego, in Freudspiel.

Also, as in said story, the opposed sidesdiffer only on a superficial level. I struggleto see the difference between somechancer stealing shirts from Next, andstate stooges stealing someones liberty

fororganising a waterfight via Blackberry.Similarly, the herd instinct seems to tietogether the rioters and the law-abidingfolk who bay for their blood.Unrecognized by most, such underlyingbinds work to keep the ostensibleantagonists locked in a game of mutualreinforcement; indeed, one could arguethese rioters ultimately turned out to bethe best friends Cameron and his croniesever had. Own goal!

That said, I do note one difference between the law-fearing and the looters: the latter at least make use oftheir own claws. As Guardian-reader Mark Kearney points out

The irony is that though right wingers constantly talk about personal responsibility, right wingideology truly revolves around the worship of and hence deference of responsibility to someauthority figure who will save the believer and other followers from their plight, lead theircountry to glory, etc. Right wingers truly desire a show of power to conceal their own personalsense of powerlessness.

hence the cries for army intervention, for more police on the streets, forsupercops and supercourts to

exercise zero-tolerance in the name of sacred security

In short, submission masquerading as strength.

Real fucking horrorshow, no?

Touch your toes, devotchkas: BigDaddys comin in!
