Anybody who supports the rioters are not good people in any way.
[QUOTE=Drakehawke;31625674]That would be a good idea, especially if the made it so the paint doesn't wash out, then they can 'tag' people to be arrested later. Plus it'll ruin any of the clothes they looted :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They wouldn't even be classed as less lethal, the worst you could do is blind someone but it's not very likely. Paintballs + the dye banks use or smart water.. there must be a reason they don't do this.
It's kicking off here in Hillingdon.
Rioters should go to a school and loot themselves an education I think.
[QUOTE=Reimu;31625503]You realize I was talking about the use of rubber bullets, right?[/QUOTE] What's wrong with them? If the rioters are being violent and are actually managing to push the police back we need to use this kind of thing to stop them, I don't see the problem as long as they're not using lethal ammo.

Apparently Nick Clegg was booed and told to go home. I don't think its related to the rioting.
Kicking off in hounslow and chiswick.

All I know is that the thugs who do this make really terrible music. :>
So where are the water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets? They already have permissions for the rubber bullets so they better use them tonight. If I lived there and someone was looting a store underneath my apartment I'd be throwing my furniture at them hoping to break some bones.

Also, Boris Johnson is an awesome public speaker. I just love him hearing him speak.

All the footage I've seen shows people looting, not protesting. Shame for those who wanted to get a message across.
Boris Johnson reporting with broom to duty :v:

All dubstep and grime producers that I know of and follow on social media have called out against these raids, mainly because they've worked hard to get where they are.
[QUOTE=Killuah;31625804]All the footage I've seen shows people looting, not protesting. Shame for those who wanted to get a message across.[/QUOTE] What message? :P
[QUOTE=Highwind017;31625666]I wouldnt kill him, i'd just shoot his leg so he'd be crippled.[/QUOTE] Still worse than what he did. Very immature.
So many god damn moral arguments in this thread.

Think about how this started. It only sends the message to these folks that the police resort to violence when things aren't at peace. Not to say that the police shouldn't ramp up the force they're using, but going that far is only going to fuel the fire of these protests. As Jsm said, they're also very dangerous and can be lethal. Imagine if a protestor was shot and died. Riots would be even worse.
[QUOTE=Zambies!;31625865]So many god damn moral arguments in this thread.[/QUOTE] No shit.

Does anyone even know what they are allowed to use regarding baton rounds, because "baton round" means three things. Shotgun rounds, rubber and plastic bullets.

James Blake is not a thug. :smug:
