Totally disgusted by those rioting in Southport

[Bex5490]

Southport has experienced the most unbelievable tragedy.

Their emergency services had to respond to probably the most traumatic calls they’ve ever had, yet tonight they are being attacked by thugs?

The latest is that these people are destroying people’s homes to get bricks with which to throw at the police.

I am heartbroken, bewildered and disgusted. How dare they destroy the homes of that grieving town.

I wondered why I hadn’t seen any.

The far right appear to have turned up with crates of cider, attacking the police and trying to storm a mosque. I am disgusted. What do the actions of one madman have to do with attacking police and innocent people in a mosque? They are using the horrific deaths of these children as an excuse for a piss up and a riot.

Here's a link.

I’m just so upset by it. Maybe not the right thing to start a thread about but I didn’t know where else to express it.

Why are threads been deleted? It’s on the front of BBC news.

Hot weather = rioting.

People rioting rarely are doing it for sensible well thought reasons.

Mindless violent thugs. Anything for a bit of a punch up. Scum, the lot of them.

Imagine knowing those poor families and then having those vile human beings destroy your house.

I hope they all face the most severe criminal charges.

pure evil

The other thread was deleted because MN thought it was not started with the best of intentions.

I reported one of those threads earlier because the OP started innocuously enough then started dripfeeding links from Britain First and implying the rioting was in response to an Asian man with a machete (the EDL types having only travelled to Southport to join the peaceful protest, naturally).
That thread is now gone but the same OP has started a new thread in News with a similar racial undercurrent.

I'm pretty sure that's why most of these threads are being deleted. There are a lot of posters trying to stir the pot tonight.

YANBU @Bex5490.

The people of Southport have been through enough without a bunch of EDL thugs turning up wrecking the place. They're disgusting.

As are all their cheerleaders on the internet.

Feeling heart broken or outraged won’t help.

We need to ask why. Because all of these events have a greater propensity to turn into a protest against mass migration. Irrespective of whether the issue is immigration related or not, this is what is in danger of happening.

You can shout racist and dismiss the people doing it. But it doesn’t make the problem go away. This is how far right movements take hold. Do not sweep this under the carpet by calling people names. Ask why, despite repeated warnings, the corrupt politicians in this country have failed and refused to do anything about the rapid change in people’s surroundings, neighbourhoods, cultural experiences and assimilation impact.

There is nothing racist about calling this out. Burying your head in the sand and namecalling is utter stupidity and makes the problem worse.

Said the sources weren't good enough despite it being reported on by Sky News

Because they all turn into a shit show.

The flash point seems to have been the arrest of a man who had brought a knife to the vigil.

Are you a completely stupid person with no education?.
The 17 year old in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder is a UK citizen born in Wales.

The source you linked to wasn't Sky News though, was it?

So @Scottishlassie28 wants to send the boy who has been arrested back to Wales, right.

Welsh perpertrator.

I can understand people’s anger.

Strange way to spell British.
