Not exactly peak oil but relevant to social decay which could follow after peak oil:

BBC Reporter Patel was attacked in broad daylight by thugs as in the clip below:

Now it's interesting that the judge sentenced the guys (very lightly in my opinion) and didn't sentence mr patel as may have been the case had the defender not been a BBC reporter.

What's disgusting to me (though not surprising as I've seen broad daylight attacks like this in Newcastle, Glasgow and Dublin) is how common this type of thing must be.

Can you imagine what things will get like for non-whites in this country (never mind the whites) once things start to get tough?

They must be pretty stupid as they seem oblivious that the camera is rolling all the time throughout.

Glad Mr Patel didn't get anything, he was only trying to defend himself after all.

How much did these two low lifes get?

Really makes you wonder what is going to happen.

A period of community service in Afghanistan is all thats needed for asswipes like that.

Yeah, it's probably going to get like New York in the 1980s. Keep your head down, avoid eye contact, don't get involved.

Good punch by Patel.

Years of training and self discipline?

I t reminded me of that video shot from a helicopter in the US showing a white trucker getting a VERY nasty hiding from black rioters.

That pilot could have flown low and scared the little sods away ... but, no, let's get a good film.

Haha I like that, what an excellent piece of footage. Good on him, I'd love to have been able to hear the conversation as well. I imagine he was running rings around them (although is it stereotypical of me to assume the offenders were of low intellect?)
