[QUOTE=cricket50;31623899]This can honestly only get worse.[/QUOTE] The army will no doubt be brought in any time soon. Rubber bullets and water cannons are the only way this is going to be resolved. Seeing as someone has now died from a fatal shooting we could even see live ammunition on the streets. So box raters, how do you propose we resolve the situation then? Kind words and politics? That's not been very successful so far has it...
Wait so someones died? Now its getting out of hand
[QUOTE=sam.clarke;31623944]The army will no doubt be brought in any time soon. [/QUOTE] I heard this morning on CBC radio that there is talk of bringing the army in if things continue.
[QUOTE=ragawaga;31623954]Wait so someones died? Now its getting out of hand[/QUOTE] It took someone to die for you to class it as 'out of hand' ?
[QUOTE=Ogopogo;31623990]I heard this morning on CBC radio that there is talk of bringing the army in if things continue.[/QUOTE] The government has ruled out the army.
Something has to be done soon, its already gotten out of hand..
Nooo, the England - Netherlands football match got cancelled because of this. :( Fuck you, chavs. Fuck you in the riot hole.

Seeing as someone has now died from a fatal shooting we could even see live ammunition on the streets.[/QUOTE] I think the government is terrified to send in the army because of other examples of what has happened across the world recently when they were sent into other areas. Additionally, it seems idiots like Theresa May are trying to maintain a 'policy' of how we police riots in this country. It's basically arrogance on a national scale and they're putting people at risk to maintain this 'policy'. The army really only needs to show its presence here to stop at least some of the riots. Some of these kids are stupid enough to see them and think 'oh mai gawd its the fucken ARMY!' and run away. But obviously military force is totally unacceptable and impossible despite the fact these thugs are trying to kill and hurt civilians. Is the duty of the armed forces not to defend the people of Britain from threats? The bitch that appeared on the news feed on bbc just now has some entitlement complex. She says that they'll start respecting adults when adults respect them. Is this their fucking dumbass idea of how to gain respect? Are they really hat thick?
Maybe you guys can help. [url]http://londonrioters.co.uk/[/url]
[QUOTE=Omolong;31623931]McDonalds in Headington had it's windows smashed out last night, as well as there being rumours that people tried to set it on fire.[/QUOTE] Lol, probably some idiots from Barton. I'd like to see them try it near my area of Headington. also, Steam friend request
If the riots happen again (and the police are seen to be overrun again) tonight, and on Wednesday I think they will have to deploy the army on Thursday because of huge public pressure But I don't think that will happen
[QUOTE=Omolong;31623878]Apparently people are intending to hit Oxford tonight.[/QUOTE] I heard they did last night.
[QUOTE=Elfy;31624114]I heard they did last night.[/QUOTE] Well, people are getting messages on BBM about hitting Oxford tonight.
Dumbest thing to do is to attack Lawyers officers. How does that make any sense, when they're the only people who'll be able to get you out of the whole 'jail' situation.
Implying the kind of people who attack these buildings can afford a lawyer.
So, for what reason is there rioting all over england? Because im seeing no reason what so ever.
Deploying the Army could easily result in disaster, you'd only need one rioter to fire at them or even some of the more organised agitators to don combats and fire into a crowd.
free shit

Surely where a rioter is seen using force with a weapon it isn't unreasonable to use non-lethal force such as tear gas or rubber bullets?
This country's a joke

Say a soldier shoots some retarded chav with a rubber bullet and the twat dies. There would be a massive back lash.

[QUOTE=Omolong;31624134]Well, people are getting messages on BBM about hitting Oxford tonight.[/QUOTE] Dumbasses. RIM is monitoring BBM lmao. Let the rioters get brought to justice!
[QUOTE=Highwind017;31624194]So, for what reason is there rioting all over england? Because im seeing no reason what so ever.[/QUOTE] people like to break stuff
Got some more news: Croydon town centre is being closed down by police, and they are also evacuating businesses there, because they believe it will be another target tonight.

Say a soldier shoots some retarded chav with a rubber bullet and the twat dies. There would be a massive back lash.[/QUOTE] Kind of defeats the point of none-lethal force. It's possible but a trained soldier would know better than to aim high. Order needs to be restored and there's not many other ways to do so with these animals.
[QUOTE=SCopE5000;31623524]Do you think Victorian orphans went around rioting and looting, calling people pricks and smoking weed 'erryday?[/QUOTE] They were all loveable chimney sweeps what never hurt nobody, guv'nor! :v:
So the Guardian is reporting that baton rounds may be used tonight? Seems like a fair call. After hearing what they've done to some people, breaking into houses while they're in there and shit, I hope they use rubber bullets and the like.
People are being too pessimistic, I think nearly 3x the number of police should be enough
