forgive my ignorance but whaat is taking place in London to cause this
Hi JB I understand. Quite interesting that the police are pretty much letting the yobs nick a few tellys and smash up their own slums...as long as they don't try it anywhere posh or too white.
cause? low morality, theives, people taking advantage when they think they can get away with shit.Quote:

some people are upset and want to throw a few bricks at the pigs. some want to knick a new telly.
....Don't you think guns could solve this issue?
Think that is what started it.Quote:

Due to outstanding public demand London's Burning is back for one week only.
Seriously though, I'm glad I no longer live down there cause the media is portraying it as a battle zone. Can't believe there could be so many people all piling in at the same time. If anyone's going down I'd love an Ipad though.
And the family of the guy who was shot that started it all off has said that none of this is in his name, and disowned the whole protest/riot.
Lots of you are talking shit. I have lots of friends in Croydon, which is on fire and people are now getting shot. My old local has burnt down next to the furniture store. Teenage hoodies are targeting Apple shops and luxury goods outlets. Young men and women are driving into Croydon with vans which they are loading with electronic goods. This is just about looting and destroying someone else's property. This is not a black or white issue, nor an economic one.
My friend is sat in her flat with two young kids terrified right now.
........ mind you, I've got a laptop for 20 quid if anyone's interested.
I nearly thought this was a serious post from you for a moment...Quote:

In that case I apologise for thinking it was a set up for a gag.Quote:

Not got much time to post on here, doin most of it on f-book. Saw the area I grew up in getting absolutely torn up this afternoon on TV, with whole roads on fire.
In the town centre in Ealing, saw a florist, tescos & betting shop all fully ablaze. Heard that the shopping centre is now burning up. Got into it with some of the fuckers who tried to jump on my car.
There been a load on my road smashin up cars, altho i sat in front of my car armed up with a bat and bally, so they didnt try nothin. I'll post 2moro about the reasons, but it's fuckin insane her & i dont think ill get much sleep 2nite
Take care fellas!
Good luck and God bless to anyone near the chaos. Arm and defend yourselves if the situation demands it.
Jesus H ..
Heres lots of footage links here... :(

I shall never return, it's a joke of a country.
There's a few things that have gotten to me tonight...
1. There has not been any statement from anyone from the police, the home office or houses of parliament who have made a statement that sounds even remotely threatening to a thief. Just 'we don't condone this opportunistic violence'.
2. The fact that Cameron has to sit down now and try to draw up some solution when there should already be a protocol in place for stag civil unrest is alarming at best. Just exposes the ineptitude of our government.
3. Surley, after 3 nights now, it's evident that this is only going to get WORSE untill a more forceful presence is at hand, like the army. Because right now, the police are completely overrun.
4. The English media has a massive task on it's hands now after MONTHS of effectively promoting the uprising of young muslims across North Africa, how must we look now to that part of the world? Like the softest nation that ever existed!
It's a weird one for me as I am all for anarchy and uprooting the system, but it is just vandalism to torch someone's car or steal a television. It doesn't make any sense to destroy your own community. Take to Westminster, knock down Big Ben and demand the head of Cameron, but don't torch your neighbors car. It is all very dramatic, but seems incredibly unelightened to me.
From what I read on news sites the riots in London kicked off because of some gang banging drug dealer that shot a policeman and then was killed by other officers. People were unhappy that the guy was killed, thus the riots happened and then started spreading amongst young people looking for some sort of excitement or be part of the mob mentality. That's what I also heard from British posters on various sites.
That's your story right there. Nothing to do with being unhappy with the political system or some sort of rebellion as you're trying to suggest Miles. Just mostly young people looking for kicks. But hey when shit happens people just gotta insert their political ideologies just like when that crazed Norwegian incident happened.
I was saying that I can understand taking to the streets fighting against nonsense like austerity, but I really can't understand this particularly well. It's as though the chavs have become emboldened. I can't say I relate to those types in any real way.
It's just thuggery to me and so I can't say I support it in any way. Protest only makes sense to me if it has a political element. Torching a random persons car serves no greater purpose, but chopping up Boris Johnson's bicycle with a chainsaw probably does and more so if you leave a message signed by 1000 people saying "give us back our youth club, you rich bastard".
GeneralBulldog, there was a group of about 20 family friends from the Broad Water Farm estate outside the police station on Tottenham High Road demanding answers as to why the lad was shot.
Anything after that was just opportunistic. There was young lads on TV saying that they had lived in Tottenham all lives and they were seeing so many rioters that they'd never seen before.
Facebook and Twitter were had huge part to play, it's a shame that Google realtime is on longer active as i would of loved to see how it was all orchestrated.
I also think it all stems from there kids jumping on the wagon of the recent G20 and Student cuts protests... They got out of hand but this is just madness!
Since G20 the police are too sacred of ending up in court. It's crazy!
BTW....
Did anyone remember to bring the marshmellows and hotdogs?
:)
Basically that's what I heard that it was opportunistic individuals just out there causing mayhem and plundering what they can get. So is this just the London area or has it spread to other cities of the UK?Quote:

Not from London, but last thursday a man was shot by the police tasked to look after gun crime in London, the bloke was carrying a gun, Im guessing the was a threat he would use it against the police so they shot him! The local community took exception to this and started protesting, this has since escalated to full on riots in regional areas of London.Quote:

More and more areas jumping on the bandwagon of looting. Over 100 arrests in Birmingham last night, average age of 13 ! :o
Now im not racist in the least, but I do wonder If a white man was shot for doing the same thing, would will still have the same reaction/fallout ?
It's disgusting these idiots are not only targeting innocent business' but the poor soles that live in the same area the rioters do, what the f**k !?!?! Many people now left homeless, and for what reason? Will they only be happy when they kill innocent people trapped in their homes whilst their homes burn down around them :confused:
Similar scenes to what we witnessed back in '82.
Can see alot of Football matches being called off this weekend due to the riots :mad:
Average age of 13? That's scandalous. The children should be shot and the parents hung. The UK inbreeding has got out of control and the menace needs to be dealt with.
Well look on the bright side, at least this riot didn't take place during the '12 Olympics in London where head of states, foreign visitors, and the whole world would be watching on an large scale. Just imagine the political fallout if this happened during the Olympics and some head of state or one of their family members was accidently hurt.
Well they you go, the bloody England match called off tomorrow cos of the bloody riots :mad:
Euro 2012 qual. - England friendly called off due to riots - Yahoo! Eurosport
If the Premier League matches dont kick off this weekend, then the will be bloody Riots, will go down there with my mate and wage war on the simple-minded pricks :p:shotgun5lu8::badass:
Part of me is thinking the police want to sit back just to show the government they are under resourced and need more funding.
