Re: Bad things happening in London
Not just London, Birmingham got it bad.
Basically, Police have had most of their powers taken away and can't crack skulls. If a copper went to hit some looting filth, he'd get a years worth of enquiry then prosecuted for hitting some innocent little lamb who is misguided.
I say bring the US police over to crack down and teach our police a few lessons in policing.
My town is filled with rumours tonight of trouble and I'm heading down to defend my town. Its about time somebody made a fucking stance, so my cricket bat comes with me if anyone goes near a shop.
I will smash these cunts into the next town if I have to.. I'm a big bloke and I pack a punch (no Kim.. I'm not talking fisting).

Re: Bad things happening in London
The only way to protect body harm and property loss is if the decent people make a stand and fight against the thugs. The police are almost always unable to defend property. The LA riots, the Williamsburg NY riots, the police stood back to let the thugs blow off steam, to get it out of their system. While the police stood back, peoples property was destroyed.
I lived in the Bronx during the blackout of 77. Some shop owners sat on a chair outside their store with shotguns. Those stores were untouched by the thugs. In the LA riots it wasn't until the Korean store owners took up arms did the police finally decide to move in.
For the most part these thugs are cowards, if you met one on the street alone they would look to the ground with fear. If the people defend themselves the thugs would go away, they are cowards.
Anyways,, to me the riots in the UK just looks like a big football match.
I'm the girl nobody knows until she commits suicide.
Then suddenly everyone knew me.

Re: Bad things happening in London
Maybe I have misread the situation wrong then, perhaps I should go out tonight, find a hoodie and give him a big hug and offer to give him half my life savings because I feel sorry for him and I clearly don't pay enough in my taxes to go towards his needs.
I understand your frustration, its the difference between looking for long term solutions, and dealing with the present crisis. Also, there is evidence that a lot of this looting is organised, so it is debatable how much of it is now the work of 'feral youth'; I have seen reports where looters were in their 30s and 40s.
The point is not about being sympathetic or feeling sorry for deprived youth, but recognising that if society doesn't do something to try and divert their frustration away from violence, then this kind of event could happen again which is no good for anyone. I don't have any sympathy with them either, but again and again, there has to be a focus on solutions, not an easy task in a country with such high unemployment.

I like Edwoods idea although I did see loads of peoples doors being broken down and arrested on the news.
Looks like Manchester has it bad tonight. Miami SWAT thats what we should have. Give the police a bit more freedom and stop making them feel like they are working with their hands behind their backs.
Stay safe everybody
