The reason hey are mostly black is because they mostly live in them parts...
[QUOTE=TheHypnotoad;31625012]Net slingers and those guns that fire silly string that hardens to prevent escape all round![/QUOTE] All I could think was Spider-Man.
[QUOTE=Elfy;31625026]The reason hey are mostly black is because they mostly live in them parts...[/QUOTE] I've seen plenty of whites doing it as well, it's got nothing do with race despite what some people here seem to think.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31625063]I've seen plenty of whites doing it as well, it's got nothing do with race despite what some people here seem to think.[/QUOTE] I know. People are thinking becuase they are black they will do it. Total bullshit, colour doesn't change mind.
Instead of saying what race it is we could cut out the middle man and say its mostly unemployed young people.

I think the police are handling the situation perfectly fine. They're doing the right thing, there's no need at ALL to bring out rubber bullets. Just contain the riots and make sure they don't get too rowdy, will probably blow over over time.
Boris is back in town; everything is alright now.
It's Boris!
There was this racist joke "if you see a floating tv in mid air at night..."
They were only rioting because Boris wasn't around, it will all stop now.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31625063]I've seen plenty of whites doing it as well, it's got nothing do with race despite what some people here seem to think.[/QUOTE] I posted this a while back but it got lost because the thread is moving fast. There's a lot of racism going around, and I disagree with it completely, but I have to say, from watching videos of the riots it does appear to be mainly black people. There are whites and other ethnicities too, but it does appear to be a black majority. We are of course angry at them, but we shouldn't be racist about it, there are many black people who have nothing to do with this, and they should be as angry as us. Not just because they are fucking up our cities, but they are making them look like savages and bringing down a fuckload of racism down on them. The black majority taking part in these riots are doing more harm to themselves and other black people than they are to anybody else.
Fucking legend. Did he walk off with his arms up going "Listen to the black youth!" Lmao.

The Police need a way of containing this, they need more than batons and shields, not to mention there are far too few avaliable officers to deal with unrest on this scale.

You do realise they are setting cars and buildings on fire, emptying shops, destroying both private and public property? It needs to be stopped ASAP. Although I would say that the police have done well with the resources provided.

Of particular interest is the "History of Rioting in England" at the twelve minute mark. Hope you English facepunchers pull through this ok.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;31625216][url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixel-eight/6024429000/[/url] It's not all bad[/QUOTE] I just noticed that its a riot shield their using as a tea tray.
I like how #riotcleanup is above #prayforlondon on the trend list for the UK on Twitter. Basically "people actually helping" above "people sitting at home and thinking about it, getting a false sense of accomplishment whilst other people actually get out there and help".

I know someone who lives in Tottenham, he said that if it kicks off again tonight him and his flatmates are gonna cover up, go out with bats and lay into anyone they see looting their street.

Just more force and more intimidation. These kids aren't suicidal or anything, they run away when they know the jig is up. Again, as long as they can assure the riots are contained there's nothing to worry about. That should be their priority.
By the way, has this been posted? Its an interesting article on the BBC site about the tactics being used and why certain things aren't being used. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14459127[/url]
So there are 6 water cannons, all in Northern Ireland. But like they said its marching season over there, and the North Irish police are hardly eager to lose them.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;31625258]I know someone who lives in Tottenham, he said that if it kicks off again tonight him and his flatmates are gonna cover up, go out with bats and lay into anyone they see looting their street.[/QUOTE] Rightly So. The world's slowly going mad. Im surprised these riots havent hit scotland... Yet.
