pretty terrible what's going on though.

The way it's going at the moment they are just following the rioters tracks, they turn up after all the shops have been looted and set on fire. Apparently the rioters are communicating by facebook and Blackberry to get to ahead of the police to vulnerable areas, almost 4AM there now so I guess this will keep going and ease down in the morning....But it's spread to several other cities now.
All because some thug got shot after shooting at police. Facebook really isn't helping the situation though, just search "Mark Duggan" and see all the pages that come up and all the racism and flaming going on.
insane. its hard to watch that video of the dude bleeding and having the shit stolen out of his backpack.
Fuck Afghanistan, we need our army on the streets protecting our own!
Seriously if the police can't handle this, someone needs to step it up a level, curfews, army etc...I mean there are A LOT of these scum out there.

Humans suck
i mean really i'm not sure if these people have normal human brains. they're rioting presumably because some dope slinger got killed and because the man is 'keeping them down.' ok, maybe some valid points there, but then they start destroying innocent businesses and expect people to still sympathize with their cause.
don't you live in a tax haven? as if you do shit to take care or contribute to "your city". these kids should be smashing up your shit, they probably pay more than you do.justice wrote:

there's a point that you have to consider these people have all this anger because they feel marginalized...but there seems to be a lot that are just souless opportunists with no regard for civility. it's fucking crazy.
at least aussie cops have guns. we put that cronulla bitch on lock instantly.
look at the prick in the middle of the road, he knows the police can't touch him
so pathetic they aren't handing out broken legs

That's not the reason at all. Though they may claim to do this shit for that reason. It just doesn't make any sense - any sane person can see that all this is doing is anything BUT making things better.
They're just cunts. That's all there is to it.
I'm pretty sure it won't come down here, anyway. Hopefully. Not that near any cities, really.

And I'm more than happy to understand that. But violence is almost never the answer, especially against innocent people.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

reminds me of the riot during harry brown.

No it's not a tax haven, the taxes here are more than in the UK. I spend half my time in London and half my time here, and lived in London for 16 years before I moved here, a few years of which were in Islington (where there are riots right now) and know people in a lot of the areas affected, including my sister, who lives in Clapham with her husband and 2 month old baby daughter...So, no.Uzique wrote:

they're pissed because they've slipped through the cracks, yeah. they have less opportunity now in their 20's than their parents did in the 1970's. they can't get onto the housing market until they're 40, let alone even find a job when they're 19. it's pretty dire, and none of the mainstream politics of today seems to be doing much to help them. only more cuts, more closures of their youth centres, more hits to their community to pay for austerity measures that they sure as hell didn't invite (they couldn't even access the economy, let alone ruin it).KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

then you get people like justice, living abroad in luxury, talking shit about them and encouraging police to use excessive force to keep "his city" clean. um, hello? i've had a stream of middle-class posh twats on facebook tonight spouting racist, classist bullshit and it's just as sickening as the actual events. really shows the ugly underside of britain. almost like two worlds. it's always the university educated toffs and the rich cats that have the most condemning thing to say about inner-city violence and poverty. im sure they know it well.

nope, not at all. but i don't think the liberal intelligentsia can really understand what's going on, so their contemptuous statements are invalid. who can understand the frustration and seething directionless anger these youths must feel? sure as fuck i can't. so im not going to call them little assholes or ask for their legs to be broken. they live a shit life every single day in a poor shithole and there is literally no way for them to get out of it. i'm not going to judge.

We should fly over the NYPD and LAPD to show the UK how real police handle matters: at the business end of a billy club.

it's a valid point, but the anger seems to be directed to people that aren't a part of the 'problem'. Seems like they should be mobbing in front of politicians houses, not store fronts. The same sort of thing happened immediately after the Rodney King trial here in the 1990s. It wasn't people upset strictly about the way the verdict went as much as people feeling marginalized and without a voice against oppressive capital overlords. Still, the brunt of the damage was felt by their peers, locals from their neighborhood that have no voice in what people in positions of power decide to do. For sure, the frustration is understandable, but these people alienate the general public (AKA their biggest resource in fighting tha powa) when they attack seemingly innocent everyday joe sixpacks.
