Are any of you guys following this ?  It's some pretty intense stuff, seems to be worse than the Vancouver incident.  Hopefully no one else gets killed.

The cops shot a 27-year-old duderino who was suspected of having illegal weapons. That began the rioting in Tottenham and it's kinda escalated from there.

Not really the same numbers as in the Vancouver incident... Just seems worse because we know how to riot over here, and people are actually rioting for a semi-legit reason (fuck the po-lice).

"But despite the closed nature of BlackBerry Messenger, police may still have a chance to examine some of the communications that took place."

Why? thats fucking bullshit. If they start looking through everyone's texts there will defiantly be some major riots and I would defiantly join.

Pretty sure handguns and whatnot are illegal here, yes.


We know how to riot over here, maybe we're a step behind the Greeks and the Italians... but we're not bad. Americans don't know how to have a good riot/can't because their country is already a police state.

its got pretty much nothing to do with the kid getting shot or the girl getting battoned by the 5-0. Every little wannabe thug just decided it was a good excuse to loot and smash the place up on the back of the protest march.

so i guess a london "bobby" said this "These are bad people who did this," he said. "Kids out of control. When I was young it was all Pac-Man and board games. Now they're playing Grand Theft Auto and want to live it for themselves."

blaming it on gta lol

It's only sketchy in confined areas. Granted there are more areas now but elsewhere it's fine. I was in London the past few days and didn't see anything until I went to Clapham Junction... Now that was fucked up. Buildings on fire, police everywhere! People grabbing stuff from shops and hiding them under cars to go back and get more only for someone to set that car on fire and then the bloke who hid stuff gets angry but then they bond over the car fire and rob another shop and set it on fire together....
It's bad but i'm yet to see any actual violence towards another person with my own eyes.

Shops just got looted by me in camden. Was in hackney earlier, where there were buses on fire. Apparently rioting has spread to Birmingham and Liverpool as well as London. The shit has really hit the fan.

It just seems like a reason to get free shit. I mean if you want to riot and say fuck the police why would you loot businesses? As long as they aren't fucking with small individual businesses and just chains then I'm cool with it but still you could at least fuck up a police station or two, burn some cop cars or something. Well actually now that I think of it riots are pretty shit, fuck stupid people.

I would but I really couldn't give a shit about it, I just hate riots mostly because there is no point to them or no reason to start a riot in the first place.

The shooting of that man was a mere excuse for a bunch of thugs and neds to run around like headless chickens doing whatever the fuck they wanted just because they could.

pg 2 ? but this hsit is escalating fast! cities all over england are being targeted, thing is, this will now produce such a negative image for the youth of england, im not looking foward to seeing what sanctions will be put in place to try and control them, its horrible that the actions of less than a thousand people will lead and have lead to such damage both socially and ecconomically.
