He didn't shoot first but he had a loaded gun
Give the police rubber bullets. If someone gets killed so be it.
Yesterday I would've said that the police should contain this without use of excessive force but this has gotten to the point where they could gun looters down and I wouldn't care.
Its not as if any of the looters contribute to society. Its a small price to pay to protect peoples buisnesses and lives if a few jobless thickos get killed.

Don't be stupid, plenty of people have guns most of them are even legal.
According to one facebook post, a mcdonalds in bournemouth was set alight
I don't believe that :v:

In the country.
I like how everyone is saying all the rioters are black... a good 1:4 are white.
"Tom Steedman describes to the BBC News Channel watching rioters target a Salford supermarket. He says they managed to drive away police who had been defending the store. "[The rioters] then proceeded to smash through all the shutters on the store, it's been completely looted, and now they've set the store on fire." Mr Steedman says he has seen a lot of people walking away with bags. "It's not just youths, there was actually a family drove up in a car and filled up their boot with stuff from Lidl and drove off."

Only the farmers and games people.

And hunters. If the riots make it to Thetford I know exactly where I'm going. For some reason a guy I know has about 6 shotguns and quite a bit of ammo. He only goes shooting birds.

I would argue that isn't a small price at all.
Talking to my mate in Woodford, apparently one of the pubs over there is on fire.

I'm pretty sure attitudes like this are way they are rioting, in the first place.
So if there's nothing the police can do about any of this, what's going to happen? I mean has there ever been any major riots where it couldn't be contained before?
Can't they just bring in the army? I haven't been keeping up with the thread as well I should have, but 300 posts in a couple hours is pretty intense.
[QUOTE=Jawalt;31632162]I'm pretty sure attitudes like this are way they are rioting, in the first place.[/QUOTE]
The original riots were about the police shooting someone, they can hardly riot about the police using rout control methods on a riot.
Then again, morons don't use sense and logic, just loot and pillage.

Even the birds are taking part in the looting.

No listen, they are rioting because the current economical climate puts lots of people out of work.
The ones at the bottom of society are the first to lose their jobs, because they are less "useful" in an economical sense.
They go out and loot, pillage and destroy because they don't have shit.

True, we don't know where it was when he was shot though
Every news site is saying different stuff.
Loads of police in central London, although I don't know if it's related to the riots. I'm also halfexpecting to see Hezzy's face everytime one of those British cops turns around :v:

Are they not there to prevent any more violence?
I heard them on the radio saying this was a bit funny because british people try to present themselves of "higher class than the us" by not having things like this happen.
i agree.. this is a much higher scale riot than shit that happens over here

No moreso I was talking about the 'society' bullshit, and talking about the rioters as 'chavs' and second class citizens.
I don't live in the UK, but from an outsider looking in -whenever- I see your guy's news it's always some politician talking about 'society' and 'anti-social' behavior. It almost seems like the entire country is putting down a slice of your population.
(Note, I'm not criticizing you guys, we're just as bad, if not worse.)

I could only tell If I saw his ass.
Update on Newcastle;
Apparently some people in Newcastle are going to the centre of town (called The Gate). Apparently a few hundred have crowded and riots kick off at around 12, the bad thing is, police from Newcastle have been taken down to London to help with the however many thousand police are there. Hope to God shit doesn't go down. It'll be interesting to see what happens, mind.
