Dec 27th, 2012 - 09:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Looting on such a scale speaks of a deep malaise within a society. The 1992 LA riots, 2005 Cronulla riots and 2011 London riots were all a symptom of a social problem.
But not of the above had widespread looting because segments of society think they 'deserve' free handouts.
Pointing the finger won't help solve the problem, if nothing it will do the exact opposite because the real underlying cause can't be identified and eased to prevent the next incident.
The president has her head buried in the sand as usual. This is Disneyland...she said so.

I think they really ought to hire a lawyer:-)
@3 When Cristina doesn't open up that baboon's arse that she calls a mouth, it's because she doesn't want to acknowledge that she's failing. She always hides when there's a wave of crime. A girl was raped, kidnapped, and dismembered in a high profile case. Cristina hid like a coward and she'll do it every time something like this happens.

Dec 27th, 2012 - 02:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have to say that your saying “When Cristina doesn't open up that baboon's arse that she calls a mouth” has a certain mental picture that makes me smile.
LOLs
I see she is giving out free stuff this afternoon. Very Evita.
Dec 27th, 2012 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting that she did not tweet or FB after the 19th December. No Christmas Day message to her people? How careless.
I don't think she is well. I think she is making appearances like Castor and Chavez did and the only way was to pump them full of drugs and get them in and out really fast.

Looks like the natives are restless,,
do you hear the drums?
Why can't both sides stop bickering and work in the interests of the people and not themselves. No wonder Argentina is slowly falling apart again
Dec 27th, 2012 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why don't they lodge a complaint against La Campora who actually instigated the rioting? or are they just scared cowards?
Dec 29th, 2012 - 04:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We should be told.
Moyano is a scab and a disgrace to real trade unionism
