Surplus Males Riot in Georgetown

Biologically, more boys are born than girls because they die more frequently of disease and accidents. But modern technology keeps more of them alive, meaning that as they grow into their twenties, there are more men seeking fewer females - especially since many younger women marry older men. This tendency is much worse in India and China where women are less valued and sonogram technology is used to identify and abort tens of thousands of girl babies each year. (It is estimated that more than 30 million young Chinese men will not find wives!)

Two women authors talk about the result of this phenomena in their book: Bare Branches: The Security Implications of Asia's Surplus Male Population
.
In my e-book THE RETURN OF STREET FIGHTING MAN I detail how these young men, without the civilizing influence of women and family responsibility, turn to gang activity - including political gangs like white power enthusiasts and "black bloc" left wing formations. I've had my full of those types since the first became prominent during organizing for the year 2000 IMF protests. I detail the "invasion of the body snatchers" way that nonviolent activists were bullied into condoning street violence by those who wanted the publicity, and even personal notoriety, such violence attracts.

It was a member of a black bloc who threw the rock that hit this woman in a store in Georgetown, Washington, DC during a Friday night, October 19th, protest of the IMF meetings by a couple hundred people. They call their organizing group OctoberRebellion.
.
A young man claiming to be the woman's sister writes a blog entry that explains who she really is and her reaction to the rather serious injury. He includes several links to mostly right wing rants about the incident. Including to Michelle Malkin (the Filipino immigrant and blood thirsty neocon who rants against illegal immigration) who writes about Anarchy in Georgetown. Most of them link to the Youtube video below.

Of course, these young men refuse to admit that their strategic fondness for violent street demonstrations is in part a result of their being lonely guys forced to hang out with rowdy male friends for companionship. And let's not forget the the cultural imperative that men prove their manhood through violence - discussed here in my e-book. Yes, the testosterone driven male stampede to nuclear annihilation continues apace.

But at least this blog entry will survive on some safe server in some rural server farm, perhaps to be discovered a thousand years from now by some researcher in a partially revived civilization. And then someone will know why it all happened and that Carol Moore told you so!!
