[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]
They do, but they won't break it out for a riot it seems.
By the way, Sky have a TV crew in Clapham at the moment, showing the aftermath.

Some absolute truth from this woman talking about these little shits burning down local businesses.[/QUOTE]
Oh god the truth. Can't agree more.
Pardon my being American, but while watching the BBC live stream I can't help but wonder what the squiggly lines are for in the roads. Would someone please inform me on English traffic rules?
I know someone who lives in Tottenham, he put a post on facebook saying he's pissed off because he can't go down the corner shop and buy milk becuase of the riot.

The news are happy enough reporting on burning buses. The public doesn't want sense.

Got a screenshot or something of the ones you are talking about?
hey guys at least the rioters are friendly
[QUOTE=Terminutter;31611920]I don't even fully know what the riots are about, other than something linking them to a gunman who attacked a police officer and was shot.[/QUOTE]
It was originally a protest over a guy getting shot...for allegedly having a gun in public and shooting at the police, either way the armed police wont shoot anyone unless they feel they need to, the amount of backlash and investigation that goes into each shooting, I'm pretty sure they'd have reason to.
But...now its just a bunch of cunts looting, burning down shops, buses, cars, peoples livelihood for the pure sake of looting and being pathetic cunts. Cunts.
Been watching the news all night, its actually fucking mad. The huge fireballs and buildings that are engulfed in flames, half the time the choppers are filming buildings up in flames and there is no fire service on the scene for a long time, simply because so much set alight.
Starting to make its way outside of london too, had a lot of FB updates of areas 20-30 minutes from me having shops, cinemas etc... looted. Was just round my mates, popped down to the high street and there was a double decker bus smashed up, police everywhere, a group of police cars pulled up and nicked some kids right in front of us, shops are clearing out all their stock just in case. Thing is all these wannabe cunts are nothing to do with the protest, they are just joining in for the sake off it, stupid fucking cunts.
(You may have noticed I'm fucked off)

If your talking about zig-zags they indicate where a pedestrian crossing is so you don't park there or anything.
Birmingham's being totally raped by the riots
It's right outside my house pretty much :(

The BBC are saying that they aren't being allowed near the fires because of the danger to them. I don't blame them, peoples lives (the fire brigade) are slightly more important than property.

Yeah the zig zags on either side tell motorists not to park/wait there. As well as warning them theres a crossing there and people will probably be crossing there.
[QUOTE=Carne;31612142]They should at least arrest as many as possible.[/QUOTE]
And they will put them in overcrowded cells or maybe you subconsciously suggest a Nazi camp, don't forget human rights, they are humans after all even if you arrest them, you can't keep them there forever without any evidence.
ken livingston pretty much has it bang on the money, yes its wrong, but there are reasons for it happening.
[QUOTE=Jsm;31612132]If that was the case they would have 5 stars by now and would have been raped by a tank.

6 stars is the tank, 5 is the FBI, but since it's Britain wouldn't it be MI5/6?

Ken Livingstone on BBC News trying to get some campaign backing off the riots. You've made some good points but there's no need right now.

He usually is. Although it sounds like he is sneakily campaigning at the same time LOL.

Ah, false alarm then. Sorry everyone.
From what I remember of my theory test, the zigzags mean "Slow down, do not overtake, do not stop unnecessarily, do not park"
