The weatherman again!
[QUOTE=frankie penis;31611930]well shit, wolverhampton and walsall are apparently being looted at the moment. both cities are 5-10 minutes away from me. i was meant to be going to the thinktank in birmingham tomorrow, but everythings fucked up now.[/QUOTE] [url=http://twitter.com/#!/garrynewman/status/100526129701588992]Blame Garry[/url]
Well, if it spreads down here, all I have to worry about is the large number of OAPs in the area, and a high street consisting of charity shops. I'm fucked...
[QUOTE=Occlusion;31611922]You are a cunt.[/QUOTE] well yeah, I kind of thought the "morally bankrupt" part of my quote pretty much summed that up.

[QUOTE=smurfy;31611925]They could go for something simple like "NIGGERS" and and a picture of a single black rioter cropped out from a crowd[/QUOTE] I wouldn't put it past them to be honest.
I wish the news would report on what is going on at the Children's Hospital. I hear a lot of rumours, but nothing solid.
[QUOTE=smurfy;31611925]They could go for something simple like "NIGGERS" and and a picture of a single black rioter cropped out from a crowd[/QUOTE] I was gonna go with that, but that seems like The Sun territory (See: "Gotcha" and "Did 1,200 Argies really drown?" headlines). Also, I was really paranoid of a racism ban.
I wonder if this will spread to Liverpool. Then again, if it does nothing will happen except high-pitched male teens screaming "FUCKING COME ON THEN" with their bandanas over their faces, wearing their trackies and dragging around their obese pitbulls.
[QUOTE=Carne;31611970]:([/QUOTE] Wow, fucking assholes. What can they possibly gain from a salon?
I am not sure what the legality of embedding unreleased Getty images is so I will just link to it. [url]http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/120684669/Getty-Images-News[/url] Doesn't look like something you would expect from the UK at all to be honest. (apart from the can in his hand).

[QUOTE=Carne;31611970]:( [img]http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/london_riots/bp23.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] This makes me so damn sad now.

It's times like this I miss Hezzy. We could use his insight.
Honestly though, the police should just charge all the rioters they see and beat the shit out of them/arrest them.
[QUOTE=Carne;31612090]Honestly though, the police should just charge all the rioters they see and beat the shit out of them/arrest them.[/QUOTE] This will produce more violence, bigger rioting.
[QUOTE=Deiru;31611975]I wish the news would report on what is going on at the Children's Hospital. I hear a lot of rumours, but nothing solid.[/QUOTE] What's happening?
[url]http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a333969/grand-theft-auto-linked-to-tottenham-riots.html[/url] A police constable told the London Evening Standard that the youths at the centre of the violence may have been tempted to re-enact scenes from Rockstar's controversial gaming franchise.
[QUOTE=Dacheet;31612086]It's times like this I miss Hezzy. We could use his insight.[/QUOTE] It would be interesting to have the input of someone who actually does know what they are talking about.
[QUOTE=Carne;31611970]:( [img]http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/london_riots/bp23.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] What is the point? if you're mad at big business, attack the fucking HMV, what is there to gain in attacking a privately owned salon run by a local man, which hardly looks like it would have harbored anything expensive in the first place.

What a load of fucking bullshit.
do the police in this county have those slug pellet type guns? like the hard rubber balls that hurt like fuck if they get shot at you.
[QUOTE=Appolox;31612105]This will produce more violence, bigger rioting.[/QUOTE] They should at least arrest as many as possible.
[QUOTE=Deiru;31611975]I wish the news would report on what is going on at the Children's Hospital. I hear a lot of rumours, but nothing solid.[/QUOTE] You know what rumours are like, I bet it was originally "riots are only around the corner from a childrens hospital", and is now "rioters trash children hospital".

If this has the power to spread to Birmingham I don't doubt it will. Which is a real shame because I'm going there tomorrow to visit family overnight :ohdear:
[QUOTE=LewyJudge12;31612121]Your FB picture made me laugh due to our current conversation[/QUOTE] Haha, totally forgot. Maybe I can join in with them.
[QUOTE=frankie penis;31612134]do the police in this county have those slug pellet type guns? like the hard rubber balls that hurt like fuck if they get shot at you.[/QUOTE] Nope, they have shields and batons, and that's pretty much it.
