The young man was filmed sitting on the floor dazed as he appeared to have an injury to his mouth. Surrounded by a number of youths he is helped to his feet by one, stepping carefully past a pool of his blood.
As he stood upright a man searched into the boy's backpack, snatching items from the bag. Other youths joined the mugging, grabbing anything they could find from the vulnerable victim's pack.
The footage posted online mirrors scenes across North London where looting has been rife.
London has being a great city; and the old gentleman days of British people who teach us about human right and democracy; the country who provide us our legal system and parliament.
The country that many great missionaries come from....who had touched many lives..
The top education opportunities given to many nations...
The humanitarian help and citizenship given to political refugees...
But sad to say, it seems that Britain has changed; may be there are not many old Londoners around now a day. They have moved? London has lost its charm...its greatness....
or
Are they Londoners or outsiders? they seems to have the same culture, not typical of London we know...
or
Their culture has been polluted by the humanitarian import?
or
There is no thankfulness by the outsiders for the local Londoners from the people they helped and who provided them homes in London?
.... the name of London, the great city, is her reputation of the city now fading out?
.... gone will be the tourist money and education fund of other countries.....
or
Is it because of the weak economy? is it still safe to walk in London now? Many questions to ponder....may be to postpone the next holiday to London?...
What happen to London? .....
Instead of helping the injured victim, he has been mugged, not one but many joined in, and this happen in the North London riots
Where is the human right advocates?....where is the police?....
This happen in London....where is the old London now?
OMG....What a shameful act...of great city to a visitor...
Now I remember Norway.....the extremism become popular culture?.....and now the new culture of London....
or is it global phenomenon of the young people; a popular culture from the internet era....is it war and violence computer games? is it idolized football hooligan culture? is it fragile emotion? is it the manifestation of social instability?,or uneasiness not to get what they want, the modern electronic gadgets popularized by advertisement and social media? discontent caused by social pressure?..... a state of social unbalance.....manifested by crowd contagion, which developed into violence.....
The psychological development is similar to Norway mass killer, but here the contagion effect was taking place, no longer a lone ranger. With the help by social media, it evolved into emotional violence of the crowds.....abuse of freedom of association....
It is not the issue of wrong time and the wrong place; it is the social problems of a nation...
It is the interaction of Generation Y and social media, a double edged swords, the speed it stir up emotion like contagion effect of Jasmine Revolution, but this is for different agenda, a negative and destructive agenda.... this is typical example of abuses of social media by Y generation. While we are excited when social media was used in Jasmine Revolution and its contagion; but we are now faced another side of social media, how it can also be used for destructive purpose.
Is it a warning sign and time bomb for the future of London?
A great problem to arise, like in Norway; for UK, and for many countries having similar problems....where family value breakdown, where religion value disappeared, where moral value declined, where human does not care about other human, where emotion is contagion and wild, where there is no reasoning,......
A global problem to come.....
