"Egyptian Museum Looted: Egypt Looters Rip Heads Off 2 Mummies At Famed Cairo Museum": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/29/egyptian-museum-looted-egypt_n_815869.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/29/egyptian-museum-loo...
- sp332 15y agoI think the author is unfairly extrapolating from accounts that there was no looting after the huge earthquakes in Japan.
- sp332 15y agoThe rioters aren't really organized, and it's hard to claim that many of the looters have BBM. I don't doubt there are some people inciting things, but what would their aganda be? violent anarchy doesn't seem to be in anyone's best interests. http://pennyred.blogspot.com/2011/08/panic-on-streets-of-london.html?spref=fb http://pennyred.blogspot.com/2011/08/panic-on-streets-of-lon...

- 5h 15y ago... so there was no "Blackout", 10 points to the author for a sensible title.
- chrisleydon 15y agoThere are still calls for one and in the West Midlands the police have started to limit data connectivity in an attempt to quash the "BBM effect".
