This whole thing is so fucking stupid, apparently riots are meant to start in my town later at the shopping center. The thing that pisses me off the most about this is that they are rioting without a cause, its just mindless violence and the enticement of looting free stuff. What makes me laugh is that its mostly 12-18 year olds. What makes me so confused is that this apparently started over the shooting of Mark yet during the riots someone shoots a 26 year old guy, kinda hypocritical. For your rage an image from my facebook.

Apparently the majority are black males, way to enforce your stereotype.

About three hours ago I was on the way home up the M1, and just past the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield I saw a convoy of at least six police vans, and a number of regular police cars heading southbound to London. They're calling police in from everywhere. Apparently though, something kicked off in Leeds today and it's 'shceduled' that something will kick off in Sheffield tonight. The police leaving to go to the bigger riots worries me that people in my small town (next to Sheffield) could take advantage of that. I feel sorry for any of you in the bigger cities.

Is it really true that the use of water cannons by the police have been prohibited this whole time during the riots?
Anything going on in Bristol?
[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;31629520]Is it really true that use of water cannons have been prohibited from use by the Police this whole time during the riots?[/QUOTE] The police don't have any, all the water cannons are in Northern Ireland. Becuase things there are normally really tense around this time of the year.
This is insanity. Why the hell is there so much unrest recently? I really hope no one gets hurt, and this gets under control soon. Insane that this is taking place in London of all places.

[QUOTE=jamie1130;31629525]Anything going on in Bristol?[/QUOTE] Yes so I have heard.

Get them!
Don't know if it's been said, but most car insurance doesn't cover riots or terror attacks, so the owners of these cars might as well have been uninsured [img]http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/jpg/2011/Aug/Week2/16046237.jpg[/img]

I fucking HATE it when you see them 'badmen' edging up to the police, acting all tough and hard, then the police make one movement and they're like AAAaaaaaAAAaa and shit their pants and run.
