Are members of such mostly dissatisfied, genetically flawed, culturally aligned, or terrorists? What would their behavior have been had they been in new Orleans post Katrina?

Prefered the term "Flash Robs " when caught this same piece over a week ago, as the tactic has migrated from Las Vegas & Philly, east to DC & up to Canada...http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27547478&srchtxt=flash Flash Robs have become commonplace tactic out here in the West with gangs as also noted in the post and we still have drive by shootings & murders happening everyday as well and the situation is going bad to worse . Actually we're potentially alot worse off than England and perhaps just one shooting away if one remembers the LA riots which could be revisted again in an instant . State & local budgets have been so squeezed knocked down the numbers of police due to cutbacks already and the state of California is in a Prison crisis already that simply dwarfs Britain #'s of incarcerations ....not just California . To say that the courts , privatized prisons & judicial system is a mess is a catastrophic understatement , its one of the leading indicators that this is a doomed system & has been for years . The financial crisis only mirrors the neglect of the sickness of our cities & the distractions perpetrated since 9/11 on our failed "world policing" efforts while US cities & states are all nearly BK. (Bankrupt in more ways than one ...) * Note the next post of the consumer credit & borrowing stats are up in June by most in 4 years & yet US consumer spending also went negative for 1rst time in 20 mos , also posted earlier that week . If you weren't short the market Aug 1-8 one should have been . This phenom has all the makings of going global from abject neglect of the Homeland ... our cities are also "ripe"
