[QUOTE=LewyJudge12;31614992]I'm from Birkenhead... :smith: Well, Prenton to be exact.[/QUOTE] Come on you've got to admit, it's a shit hole
[QUOTE=OvB;31614969][i]Really?[/i] No wonder this is getting out of hand, the cops are useless. They might as well just go home and defend their own homes.[/QUOTE] The riot police have helmets, shields and batons. That is the extent of thier equipment.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31614984]"CAUGHT ON CAMERA - BLACK PEOPLE LOOTING SHOPS" Uhm...[/QUOTE] holy fuck you're right lol

[QUOTE=OvB;31614969][i]Really?[/i] No wonder this is getting out of hand, the cops are useless. They might as well just go home and defend their own homes.[/QUOTE] hardly fair. the police are doing everything in their power. but they're stretched too thinly to adquetely control the riots
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;31614976]Even the birds are joining in [IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i137/singingfrog23/seagull-thief.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] Best post of the thread right here. We don't need to send the army in, we need cats!
So I'm still somewhat confused, why are they rioting again? This much I mean. I keep getting told "a cop shot a guy" but this seems far to extreme
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;31615012]The riot police have helmets, shields and batons. That is the extent of thier equipment.[/QUOTE] I think tear gas, water cannons, and LRADs would be a good future investment.
Honestly? I'd be looting like a motherfucker right now
[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;31615023]hardly fair. the police are doing everything in their power. but they're stretched too thinly to adquetely control the riots[/QUOTE] Yeah, I worded that wrong. They're just not properly equipped for this large of a riot though.
[QUOTE=SBlue;31614911]Only just joined the thread and haven't caught up on earlier posts, but this map is interesting/scary: [url]http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=207192798388318292131.0004aa01af6748773e8f7&msa=0&ll=51.558503,-0.055275&spn=0.114195,0.298691[/url] Plotted points of all confirmed riots over the past days.[/QUOTE] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/ohshitisleofman.JPG[/img] Looks like the Isle of Man is next in line.
[QUOTE=Sift;31615035]So I'm still somewhat confused, why are they rioting again? This much I mean. I keep getting told "a cop shot a guy" but this seems far to extreme[/QUOTE] No, thats right. Someone got shot, people went crazy in tottenham, and it's literally spread as people saw they could steal and loot at will.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31614997]As long as they don't start sending in armed soldiers in, we don't want another bloody sunday[/QUOTE] Nobody wants to see unarmed people get shot man, but there is a difference between civil rights marchers and a load of looting rioters.
[QUOTE=Nightsure;31615022]But that's what caused this whole thing...[/QUOTE] I mean until someone is killed by "rioters" the government are not going to consider doing anything more than sending in riot officers.
[QUOTE=scotland1;31615019]holy fuck you're right lol[/QUOTE] I'm amazed at the title, not at the idea of "black people looting shops".
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31615008]Come on you've got to admit, it's a shit hole[/QUOTE] I couldn't agree more. Thankfully there's fuck all over here except Birkenhead Town Centre, which isn't even worth looting. We're too small anyway.

Gotta love the classic riot mentality. "The cops shot someone, let's riot to show our disapproval!" "Yeah! Let's go find some average people like us who had nothing to do with this and burn their stuff and loot their shops, that'll show those bastard cops and the government!" Makes total sense.
[QUOTE=Sift;31615035]So I'm still somewhat confused, why are they rioting again? This much I mean. I keep getting told "a cop shot a guy" but this seems far to extreme[/QUOTE] It started when a vigil was hijacked by thugs after the shooting of Mark Duggan. Now these vermin are using that as an excuse to burn down shops and houses and steal everything in their paths
[QUOTE=OvB;31614969][I]Really?[/I] No wonder this is getting out of hand, the cops aren't equipped for this. They might as well just go home and defend their own homes.[/QUOTE] No tear gas either, the UK does not have riot control equipment that seems to be standard everywhere else in the world. A little bit of tear gas would have dispersed the crowds hours ago.

Does anyone know why we're rioting?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31614997]As long as they don't start sending in armed soldiers in, we don't want another bloody sunday[/QUOTE] We're all kind of assuming that if the army showed up the rioters would stop coming out
[QUOTE=LewyJudge12;31615065]I couldn't agree more. Thankfully there's fuck all over here except Birkenhead Town Centre, which isn't even worth looting. We're too small anyway.[/QUOTE] What about the pyramid centre? WHAT ABOUT THE PYRAMID CENTRE!?
[QUOTE=OvB;31615037]I think tear gas, water cannons, and LRADs would be a good future investment.[/QUOTE] What are LRADs? I am usually good with acronyms but that one has me stumped.
[QUOTE=Mabus;31614972]I'm surprised at you killoch0, there are public order units in the British Army, they were used in the north a lot during the troubles, I'm guessing they still have them. I think it's time they actually used them on there own people for once.[/QUOTE] The last time they were used, they didn't leave the province for 40 years and hundreds if not thousands were killed on both sides. I won't pretend the situation is the same but if the British army is sent to london, People Will Die.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31615109]Does anyone know why we're rioting?[/QUOTE] The original riots were because a man was shot by a policeman, however these people "rioting" now are not doing it for any political cause at all. It's a complete hive mentality.
