the bloke shot?

They are acting if not worse than the reason this guy was killed in the first place.

The police must have had their reasoning for shooting him dead. He was known to the police, they had been following him. And on his body there was a fire arm on him. Hmm so the rioters saying 'were doing this out of respect'

No your not your doing it to complete and utter arseholes. If he wouldnt have been shot by police he could have gone on to shoot someone else.

Think the police need to step down now and let the army take over, hose them down!! Like they do in Ireland.

Are the people that forced this to happen worth defending?

99% sure that's a fake.

TheLadyEvenstar · 09/08/2011 01:30

What isn't a fake is that this is fucking terrifying when you are in it.

Hopefully it will bring Cameron down

I heard Cameron speaking on the radio this morning, had to switch it off, I've never felt so angry.

He's been watching the police training with rubber bullets and water cannon, of course he has. Thatcher has already briefed him about how to deal with rioting. He expected it aswell. Very Angry and Sad.

bring back troops from afghan to control street.

Stop CUTS which effect poorer communities.

Bohica · 09/08/2011 22:20

We don't need troops, we need the police to be give the authorization to act, good to see the riot police are now in there.

People need to get home & stay at home until the police get a real chance to deal with the people who are causing this.

I'm watchong sky now, some total idiot drinkng rum through a scarf with sun glasses on has said the only reason he is out there is for money because police don't treat them right, when asked what he has been doing today he replied "getting pissed man, innit"

Fucking idiot.

oh yes, lets run out the old old excuses for this violence,

poor disenfranchised minority groups,
bottom of the priority list,
poor, living in abject poverty,
no dads to guide them

it is excuses like this that have allowed a level of society to behave like feral rats.

so, lets look at the evidence

disenfranchised minority groups - how patronizing, if you are disatisfied with your lot, you work to make it better, you lobby, you form groups, you do not loot and burn

bottom of the priority list - more money has been thrown at inner city areas then anywhere else in the country, you try being in charge of a small community centre in the back of beyond, trying to get just a little bit of funding to mend the hall roof, a hall used by oaps, mothers and toddlers, just normal people, only to be told that you don't qualify as you are not ethnically diverse enough, get yourself a few one legged, lithuainian lesbians, that will help your cause, and i kid you not, that was actually said to me by one goup offering awards for all.

poor, abject poverty - so poor that lots of the rioters had blackberrys or other simerally expensive phones, so poor thay had designer clothes and expensive trainers. so poor that even before looting the stuff, they were proberly playing on thier x boxes and playstations etc.

no paternal guidence - hard to comment on, but not all of those rioters came from broken homes,

no, the only real reason for these riots is the sense of entitlement these people have, they don't want to work, don't want to work towards making a better life for themselves, if they did they would be taking any job, no matter how menial just so long as they money is made.

for 30 odd years we have allowed our children to dictate to us, the authorities have eroded any control that we might have over our own children, the legal system has been tied up by ever increasing " human rights" rubbish, what about the human rights of those people who's businesses, homes and lives have been destroyed by these mindless thugs.
we are now reaping what we have sown, or, more correctly what stupid liberal child raising ideas have sown.

call the army in, round the thugs up, lock them in a big cage and leave them there for a few days, they deserve no compassion, and they certainly do not deserve any human rights.

the people who deserve compassion and human rights are the law abiding general public.

apologies for my spelling, i am dyslexic, but because i was educated in a little back water in the 70's and 80's i didn't get any help with it, perhaps i have a good excuse to go and riot then!

Excellant post one

No excuse, what so ever for the events over the last 4 nights, I'm ashamed on their behalf.
