The average American may be financially worse off, but the Brit pulls it off with more style and anger. We may have healthcare, but this is still the Nation where you can be murdered by an angry mob for wearing the wrong coloured scarf and nobody will bat an eyelid.
Yeah, no. Punk existed prior to the Sex Pistols, and you can trace its roots straight back to guys like Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
And John Macias can outdo any British punk;

Brackett said Macias next approached an unarmed security guard who happened to be at the pier and attacked him, throwing him over the railing of the ramp. The guard, Alex Villanueva, grabbed the railing and dangled about 30 feet above the ground.
Brackett said Macias pried the guard's fingers off the rail, forcing him to fall to the ground. Villanueva, 42, of Arleta, was in fair condition at UCLA Medical Center with fractures to both ankles and feet.
Macias fled east on Colorado Avenue. In front of the shopping center, he began trying to open doors of parked vehicles.
As police chased him, Macias again began yelling something about God, Brackett said. Macias, who had a jacket wrapped around his hand, stopped and turned toward the officers.
One officer shot Macias once, but he continued to advance, police said. The officer fired three more shots as Macias grabbed him, and both men fell to the ground.
Macias died at a nearby hospital from bullet wounds to his neck and chest.
