Tottenham in flames as riot follows protest

[Liteace]

its here:

BBC News - Injured boy mugged during disturbances in London

[tshirtman]

I bet the police would be a hell of a lot tougher if this was striking miners,

[jcgrumbles]

I do hope you are joking.

If you are prepared to sit down and negotiate with this kind of disorder you give it some kind of credibility.

What leaders do you talk about?

I see West Ham game has been called off. That's a shame, because the 'mob' against the average Hammer's fan would have been interesting!

I am unsure if we have water cannons to handle this situation. Most sensible solution to my mind is to make a curfew tonight after 7pm in London. If you are out in London beyond that time tonight expect a different Police approach.

Tear gas, rubber bullets for 24 hours in London will not harm anyone other than scum.

If you have to cancel your night out because of curfew so be it.

We must be the laughing stock of the world.

Riot like this in Paris and the Police snatch squads deal with you in the back of their van before processing you down the local station. Riot like this in US and run this risk of being shot dead. I believe the National Guard deal with incidents like this from the outset.


I pay my taxes and expect this kind of thing to be cleared up now not later.

Nice post,i agree.Curfew in place and if your out you are in open season,if they charge at police shoot down the first hundred or so,if they continue,shoot the rest,lets stop fuc*ing about here,this tidal wave of filth will not stop by itself,this situation needs someone with a stomach for it to take charge.Sadly we dont have anyone willing to put up with the guaranteed backlash from the bleeding hearts later on,i hang my head in shame watching this on tv,someone for christs sake unshackle the police and give them free rein,i know they would love to get stuck into these ars*holes.

Red tape needs to be cut. Unleash the hounds!

Problem is its not realy the police fault, I got a friend who a copper and he said he would love to batter some of theese scumbags but just cant as he would be in big shit, the police are held back by the ~~~~~ing stupid government rules and regulations they just have to stand there and do nothing because they are not allowed to do anything

thats so true police are too scared too unleash anything because of claims of abuse newspaper stories ect

the criminals are allowed too throw fireworks bricks petrol bombs or whatever they can get there hands on but if some poor looter is pushed away with a batton and shield there is hell on

[cablefreejunkie]

thats go to be the daftest quote i have ever seen in all my time on DK



i suppose all the yobs in liverpool bristol and all the other boroughs of london were really close to this man who carried an illegal weapon and are just burning buildings down and making people scared 5hitless in there own homes for a good reason and that nicking plasma tv's and trainers will make a statement


we are a ~~~~in nation of ~~~~in softies who think more about the human rights of criminals and thugs than we do for frightened law abiding citizens

there is people on the news being attacked for cash they are phoning police who dont turn up then when they do are shit scared

we have mps who say we will fight these yobs by talking to the community and wont use water cannons cos we are british soft touches


YET THE VERY SAME POLITICIANS help arm rebels and fight the government of gaddafi and thats ok

our country is a ~~~~in joke im pretty sure if they were outside downing street or buckingham palace we would see more action

The army needs to be called in and never mind rubber bullets they should use real there is no excuse for what is going on

what i meant to say was you riot for a reason
this situation has taken on a whole new different angle
these people are on the rampage for a reason you fool,,not for a pair of trainers or a ~~~~in tv
you listen to the media too much by the sounds of it

Sounds like you need to get out there tonight.

From the horses mouth - UNLESS YOU ARE GONNA CLAIM BBC SET UP INTERVIEW. Stupid kids don't even know for sure who's in government, nor do they really care.

When I was a kid (about the time of the last riots in London), I thought I could do what I wanted too. However the only person I ever hurt or damaged was myself. It's called being brought up rather than dragged up. I came from a split family etc, but just understood if it's not mine I can't have it.

THIS IS KIDS OR JOBLESS HAVING A LAUGH DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

Make it into something else if you choose, but I'm afraid you are wrong.

What political grievence could a 15 year old possibly have

[cablefreejunkie]

ffs you will always have mindless uneducated individuals that will jump on the bandwagon no matter what the reason or cause
always have done and always will do
i watched a clip recently of an edl march in bolton i think,,,,,they picked one lad and asked hiim why he was on the march and for what reason,,his response was unbelievable,quite clearly hed had a drink but nonetheless i was gobsmacked at his response,he didnt have a clue
another example of idiots jumping on the bandwagon,,exactly whats happeniing now
some people are on the streets due to what happened in tottenham and the way the police have dealt with it or not as seems to be the case,,and the way the police have dealt with previous cases of an individual being killed whilst either in police custody or in an altercation involving the police
this unrest will get worse,,i dont live in an inner city ghetto,so dont know what its like to be on the fringes of society and always to be at the bottom of the pile
in this country we have a goverment who think its fine to nationalise our debt and privatise the profit,,its capatalist free trade economics at its best,,at some point something has to give,,and then you have situations like the one we have now where people will take to the streets and let rip
normally you would expect the put up and shut up mantra in the uk but as were seeing now people have had enough and they want there voices heard
i dont support what people have done to business premises and peoples livelihoods in any way shape or form but i do understand why this is happening.

bring in the army shoot them to ~~~~ use water cannons cs gas rubber bullets whatever youre all calling for will not resolve the underlying problems,it will go on and on and on

why the ~~~~ do i need to get out there ? so i can watch some dickheads robbing a pair of trainers or a tv and then come home and be content that i know why people are out there
you stick to your bbc media or whatever stupid ~~~~in interview youre watching and you will be ok in the knowledge that the bbc have esxplained to you and everyone else why this is happening and why people are on the streets

by the way great interview really informative,,i hope my license fee goes up so i can pay for more of the same sort of shite you have just pointed me to
long live the great bbc

My suspicions of you have now been confirmed. If you can't understand the point of my link then you need to at least think before putting your brain in gear.

It matters not whether it was BBC SKY or any other media circuit that you may have a problem with. It is idiotic comments that choose to make mindless violence into something other than mindless violence that gives these idiots credibility. You're need to get out there, IMHO, is because you seem to have a similar personality to them. But then I suppose I would have to expect that to have been missed by you.


EDIT: Oh, and since you seem to be so up on this scene, perhaps you may care to share your wealth of knowledge on these issues and state what reason these riots are happening. Not too long though, you know us thickos need it explained nice and simple.

[gmb45]

friendly debates please, or you know what the outcome will be.

[C64]

the armys too busy fightin other ~~~~~ers war

just send the cops in with horses,dogs,tazers,pepper spray,dumdum bullits

Send in Gazza with his fishing rod, six pack of strong lager and a curry.

Not trying to steal his thunder, as I have asked the exact same question of him.

He has stated this though:

in this country we have a goverment who think its fine to nationalise our debt and privatise the profit,,its capatalist free trade economics at its best,,at some point something has to give,,and then you have situations like the one we have now where people will take to the streets and let rip

I don't see how that leads to spontaneous riots by kids. I mean really, I can't believe that the clowns with hoodies & scarfs on would even know what he was talking about.
