It is said that these men died protecting their homes, and we're run over on purpose.

Pretty disgusting if you ask me.
These riots have gone too far.

Yeah this happened last night didn't it?

People sicken me. And people wonder why I get misanthropic a lot

 

[Yosato]

Man you're making me worried - Birmingham is like a 15 minute drive away for me

I remember when I was in Toronto visiting my dad some guys smashed the windows to the Apartment Lobby back during the G20 riots. The land lord keeps German Shepherds so you can imagine what happened next >

OT: I feel bad for these guys, were is the Police brutality when you need it?

 

[Toasted Nuts]

It really upsets me to see my home city being torn apart by these scum... it's got to the point where the only way to stop these sort of people is to crack some skulls... but that won't happen because some PC moron will moan and say the police can't do that.

Bloody joke, they will all get a slap on the wrist while law abiding citizens will have to foot the bill.

FFS makes me god damn sick...

I already thought it was bad that I just got a new job in London and signed a rental agreement on a new flat in Ealing 2 weeks ago now the whole area is a war zone

....I hope the cops track down the guys that did this and give them the full 1rst degree murder sentencing treatment.

This shit needs to stop. NOW. Get out the water cannons and the tear gas. Make sure these people know that looting and stealing is not tolerated.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Weird that I didn't see this on the news. Probably just missed this. This just proves that the rioters are there for there own needs and are not protesting against anything. It was nice of that man to help the people anyway, shows where not all idiots. Just hope that holds up in Space court when humanity has to prove its worth.

3 man? We are run over on purpose?

Come on....

Well if i was a looter i wouldn't go up against 3 men, crowbar or not.
Especially if they are defending there homes.

Does the UK have an equivalent to the US National Guard to call up when the police become overwhelmed like this? There were thousands of soldiers in LA during the Larry King Riots, yet I haven't heard anything about the UK using their military to help the police out.

That was directed more at your appalling spelling in the OP.

Yeah, i know it was awful, it was late at night and i didn't think this would honestly attract grammar nazis.

Unfortunately I have a feeling this happens more than people believe in the UK. Except its kept under wraps by police, and family's.

 

[Mark Flanagan]

To be honest while this is sad it's a miracle not more people have been killed during the riots. My thoughts go out to their families and that of the man that was shot a couple of days ago.

I can't be certain, but I think there has been military involvement since the third night. Also, the police have been armed with non-lethal weapons, are establishing as large a presence as possible and over 1200 people have been arrested in relation to the riots so far.

It's easy to lose a lot of faith when news like this surfaces, but something IS being done. Frankly, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner, to be honest...

Yeah it's called the Territorial Army, people want them to come in and crack skulls but during the G20 protests someone who was violently drunk died and the police force came under fire for being too harsh. Now it's the opposite people are crying about it.

The TA, territorial army. Don't ask me why they haven't been used, maybe 'cos there in Iraq "Keeping us safe".

I doubt this will go on much longer, it will just lose steam and stop. Not like it's going to be going on for the next month, is it?

Good thing people are taking a stand against unlawful killings. /sarcasm

All of the people rioting should just be rounded up and gunned down by the cops for some poetic justice, since they seem convinced that they are living in a police state.
