[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31627701]Does anyone have a 4x4, set up a counter riot?[/QUOTE]I have a Series III Land Rover, its got huge ass Bullbars on the front...
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627740]Hopefully it will all be over by the time I go back to uni in september :v: It's almost certain to be but still, I don't think I like the idea of being where it's happening.[/QUOTE] Let's be fair, it can't be any worse than Guildhall Walk on a friday night.
It's actually a master plan to let as many criminals commit theft and then get them all into prison. It's a plan to cull the population of fools!
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627776]Bournemouth is a bit too close to home for comfort. I hope they stamp down on this fast.[/QUOTE] Well I live in Bournemouth so if shit hits me I'm gonna go crazy What town/city are you in? Blandford or something?

How appropriate - 'I Fought The Law' just turned up on my Spotify playlist :v:
[QUOTE=Camundongo;31627797]Let's be fair, it can't be any worse than Guildhall Walk on a friday night.[/QUOTE] Sadly very accurate.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31627785]How?[/QUOTE] Deputize civilians. If it develops further, send in the army.
[QUOTE=Camundongo;31627831]How appropriate - 'I Fought The Law' just turned up on my Spotify playlist :v:[/QUOTE] and the law won? We can only hope.
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627763]The north? I kid, I kid :v:[/QUOTE] Nah, midlands. When I leave this town I don't want to live anywhere north of southhampton.
I hate the 16-25 year old tribal mindset that people seem to develop in crowds.
What I'm scared of is the prisons. Hopefully its safe.
[QUOTE=geogzm;31627805]Well I live in Bournemouth so if shit hits me I'm gonna go crazy What town/city are you in? Blandford or something?[/QUOTE] Naw, I'm in a small town the other side of Christchurch. It's unlikely to affect me since I live in quite a rural area, but it's strange to think that riots could happen in a place I visit frequently.
[QUOTE=Theater;31627840]Deputize civilians. If it develops further, send in the army.[/QUOTE] Yeah like that's going to happen over here.
[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31627861]What I'm scared of is the prisons. Hopefully its safe.[/QUOTE] For some reason, people don't tend to loot prisons. Must be all the murderous psychopaths inside them.
I can't read through the entire thread, can anyone tell me if someone has made a shoop of something throwing an actual missile, like an AMRAAM or something. Cause that's all I can think about.
God damn it this has ruined my plans, I was planning to go to Costco today but its shut due to risk of looting apparently.

If the prisons start to riot, we may have a problem...
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31627875]Yeah like that's going to happen over here.[/QUOTE] Why not? It seems like people aren't taking this seriously enough. If there is no harsh response against actions like this, you're basically just admitting defeat. These people need to learn that you can't do stuff like this. It's not how humanity rolls.

Woo, late to the party. Any reasons why this is happening in Bristol?
Somerford?

[QUOTE=Jsm;31627895]God damn it this has ruined my plans, I was planning to go to Costco today but its shut due to risk of looting apparently.[/QUOTE] If any rioters go past your house you could always ask them to pick up what you need while they're there :v:

I think they might know best.

[QUOTE=geogzm;31627933]Somerford?[/QUOTE] New Milton. So it's about 10 miles away, but it still feels close to home.
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627941]If any rioters go past your house you could always ask them to pick up what you need while they're there :v:[/QUOTE] Unfortunately its many many miles from here. Its so quiet here that the local police force has given both their helicopters, their riot people and one of their custody suites to the met police.
