[QUOTE=LewyJudge12;31613855][b] Just received word it's started in Liverpool from a friend:
"it's just started
they're going fucking mental
Bus on fire
tescos being raided.
And there setting loads of shit on fire. It's all over facebook mate with pictures"
Anyone confirm? I'm just over the River Mersey[/b][/QUOTE]
Oh for fuck sake I'm going there tomorrow. Haven't see my grandparents in ages and I really hope this doesn't affect that or them.
Fucking hell, helium leaking (i think) + raging fire not a good combo methinks
[QUOTE=Nightsure;31613991]What are a bunch of kids going to do? Throw Twix's at traffic wardens and kick over the designated dog shit bin?[/QUOTE]
Most of the looting is being done by groups of kids. Most reports state that most of the looters are around 20 and under.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31613989]There is no such contract. No matter what they do within this time they will receive jail time, and that is appropriate.[/QUOTE]
It's an implicitly consented to contract formed between citizen and state when they accept the benefits the state brings.
Deport the fuckers.
The one thing I don't want this to become is a vehicle by which people can put hate and blame upon young people, black people and the poor.
As a young person, I do get shit from adults and old people (who probably read the Daily Mail) and it annoys the hell out of me that I have to be lumped together with a small number of thugs. This will get worse.

You can't deport someone who is born in this country.

Try living in the shit-hole I do, the people here are like sub-scousers, infact, it's the people here that gave Liverpool the stereotype.

To where? This is a completely preposterous idea.
[QUOTE=30021190;31613809]Why are normal good people not going out and beating the shit out of these rioters/looters? There'smore normal people than these dicks and we would all go and help out the police if we were nearby.[/QUOTE]
I bet the Police would love that, a massive brawl is much easier to control than a riot

i really have no idea. but they were often used in northern ireland under even more extreme circumstances. so i don't see why they couldn't be deployed here.

We've done it before and we'll do it again.
Oh it seems the BBC have some anal people employed, apparently it might be hydrogen.
I wish the BBC and Sky's helicopters could operate at this time of night, it would be much easier to understand this with aerial pictures.
(Unless they can operate and they have gone back to refuel)

I was actually born on the day they started. April 29, 1992.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;31614131]Bumping as a legitimate question[/QUOTE]
Apparently some gangster esq. guy shot at police and they shot back at him, killing him. The only reason people are retaliating about this is because he had a family, which is quite hippocratic to say the least as it's probably the same people who support killing terrorists blindly.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;31614131]Bumping as a legitimate question[/QUOTE]
The police attempted to arrest someone (apparently as part of a very long on going operation to crack down on gangs and gun crime) and he shot a police officer so they returned fire. Then apparently on Saturday there was a peaceful vigil that was hijacked by violent protesters.
These are copy cat riots / looting it seems.

Some possible arseholegot shot by a police officer asfetr being told to stop and obviously didn't

You're shit.
It does say why they started in the first sentence of the OP you know
Hope this dies down a bit, my mum works in London, fortunately we live about an hour away.. But still it's not gonna be much fun for her if this continues. Looters sicken me.
Feel sorry for the police though, must be a extreme headache trying to attempt to contain the looters, especially with the ability for them to update each other as to where the police are + Fire + limited numbers. My thoughts go out to them
Sky have a camera crew in Camden, surprisingly bright for half midnight.
