Any news about Newcastle?
Wow apparently they have 1000 detectives trawling through the evidence to try and arrest people.
[QUOTE=Camundongo;31627947]Well, the police have asking everyone to stay inside whilst they stomp down on the riots. I think they might know best.[/QUOTE] Let's hope they do. I hope they won't be held back by red tape with these people. Well, tonight the riots will either simmer down or escalate. Hold on to your butts.
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627956]New Milton. So it's about 10 miles away, but it still feels close to home.[/QUOTE] Well, if there aren't any large shops near your home, and you can rely on buying goods from corner shops for the next week or so, you're safe
[QUOTE=Camundongo;31627947]Well, the police have asking everyone to stay inside whilst they stomp down on the riots. I think they might know best.[/QUOTE] I suspect they are about to deal with riots in a "proper" manner. You know like hitting people with sticks and telling them to fuck off.
[QUOTE=madmax678;31627913]If the prisons start to riot, we may have a problem...[/QUOTE] I don't know about the UK, but around here they tend to use guns much sooner in prison riots, and tend to hesitate less to call in the army, fully armed.
I swear these people don't even know what they're rioting for, do they?
[QUOTE=Jsm;31627999]I suspect they are about to deal with riots in a "proper" manner. You know like hitting people with sticks and telling them to fuck off.[/QUOTE] Only if they spray them with CS gas first.
[QUOTE=Jallen;31627867]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] New Milton / Hinton Admiral? :v:
[QUOTE=DaCommie1;31628000]I don't know about the UK, but around here they tend to use guns much sooner in prison riots, and tend to hesitate less to call in the army, fully armed.[/QUOTE] There was a massive riot in an (open) prison about a year ago, the entire place got burned down. They did nothing more than call in the riot police.
[QUOTE=The DooD;31628007]I swear these people don't even know what they're rioting for, do they?[/QUOTE] "i roited cos some1 was shot but i also rioted cos i wanted a sony wii"
[QUOTE=The DooD;31628007]I swear these people don't even know what they're rioting for, do they?[/QUOTE] "Showing the rich what we can do" It's the same old drivel. Just hot air and frustration over their own poor life choices.
[QUOTE=The DooD;31628007]I swear these people don't even know what they're rioting for, do they?[/QUOTE] I think they see it as a opportunity to rob, amongst all the chaos
[QUOTE=squids_eye;31627130]I hope there's nothing going down in Nottingham again. We didn't get much last night, but this place is shitty enough as it is.[/QUOTE] Yeah but you have Robin Hood. He will keep you safe.
[QUOTE=Theater;31628024]"Showing the rich what we can do" It's the same old drivel. Just hot air and frustration over their own poor life choices.[/QUOTE] My thoughts exactly!
[QUOTE=leach139;31628015]New Milton / Hinton Admiral? :v:[/QUOTE] New Milton yeah :D Are you around there?
[quote=BBC News]1732: The IPCC says the Forensic Science Service has also confirmed that the bullet lodged in a police radio was police issue and consistent with being fired from a police gun. 1729: The Independent Police Complaints commission says ballistic test results so far show no evidence that a handgun found at the scene of the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan had been fired. It says the Forensic Science Service is carrying out further tests to confirm this. [/quote] Uh oh...
I'm so glad I live south.
[QUOTE=The DooD;31628078]I'm so glad I live south.[/QUOTE] Where abouts?
[QUOTE=Camundongo;31628065]Uh oh...[/QUOTE] What exactly do you mean by uh oh? I didn't realize that the UK had introduced ID tagged guns.
[QUOTE=geogzm;31628085]Where abouts?[/QUOTE] Don't tell him, he's a looter! He wants to loot you..
[QUOTE=geogzm;31628085]Where abouts?[/QUOTE] pedo
[QUOTE=smurfy;31628102]pedo[/QUOTE] so what
[QUOTE=geogzm;31628105]so what[/QUOTE] what you are doing is highly illegal
Apparently people are planning to group up at my local town centre Birkenhead. However there is literally hardly nothing there for them to loot :v: Source from my friend says his friend has been told to shut down their work and hide their expensive things and money in advance.
The hub on BBC is talking bout how the Libyan state TV's news presenter is speaking in English, and supporting the rioters. WOW.
[QUOTE=smurfy;31628114]what you are doing is highly illegal[/QUOTE] he isn't a child oh wait we're on facepunch silly me
[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;31628093]What exactly do you mean by uh oh? I didn't realize that the UK had introduced ID tagged guns.[/QUOTE] Well so far it seems the only shot was fired by the police, and not the 'supposed' gunman. Since his death was the supposed cause of all this (but not quite really), it might give people more excuse to go and loot shit.
[img]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/54510000/jpg/_54510977_woolwichdamien2.jpg[/img] I am a manager at the Game store in Woolwich. This morning we saw that the shutters had been wedged open with a bin and a mannequin had been used to smash the window to get in. Every shelf had been cleared, easily £5,000 or £6,000 worth of stock. Poor Damien Walters :smith:
