Does seem a bit racist to shoot the guy just because he was black and shot at them first. Go, rioters! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Playing the race card again are we? How typical. Here are some facts. The Police were issued an arrest warrent for  Mark Duggen, the man shot by police, whos was known to then. i.e a crininal and another man. Armed police were deployed as a precaution. The details of what happend next are unclear and currently under invesigation by the Independent Police Complaints commission. If Mark Duggen or the men hes was with fired first or made a move the police precieved as dangerous then they are perfectley entitled to use approprite force defend themsleves. So how is it racist? Because he was black? BullSh%t.

People, expcieally black people, are to quick to use the race card when they, themselves, are just as racist. Dont believe me? My sister got threated in an ASDA supermarket by a black guy after he pushed past her in a checkout que because he believed hes was entitled to do so because he was black and she was white. When she challenged him and asked him to get back in line guess what happended. He responded by calling her a racist, used racist language, showing himsleves as the only racist there and then threated to, and I qoute "box her face in". The ASDA security guard who steped in told her it was a common problem they face, racist black people who believe they are entitled to do as they please and this is not the first time me or my family have exprienced black rasism.

It is high time people start to aknowledge that not all police officers are racist, that they have to methods to tackle crime regardless if the perptraiters are black. white, brown, yellow are any other colour and incidents like the one on thursday is no excuse to riot and engage in thugish behaviour.


He was being sarcastic. But its ok since it seems to be your first post.

Opps my bad, dont't realise he was being sarcastic. It's just that I see red when I read comments like this, usually from people not being sarcastic. I live in london and we had these yobs setting fire to bins outside my house and I heard them talking about attacking local shops.

Planning a COBRA meeting at 9AM.... TOO LATE! How many people are going to lose their livelihoods, possesions and lives before the politicians take some decisive action. This is bloody ridiculous

2322: Former London mayor and future mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone tells the BBC that the anger is fuelled by disengagement. 


"There is a level of despair out there. We have got to have a government that speaks to the whole community, not just the layer at the top."

 

Once again its societies fault.

Ken Livingstone has no idea what planet he's on. How else do you lose an election to Boris Johnsson?!

From the news, the Sony warehouse is on fire. I'd assume that may mean PS3 shipments/storage will be disrupted. I know, not a big issue in light of everything else, but I thought it'd be of note.

Really big thread about it here if anyone wants video/pics:

Too bad the Brits can't do this (Korea Town, LA, 1992):



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

So... when do we start calling it terrorism?

I still can't comprehend all this. So much anger... my most sincere sympathy goes out to the innocent people in the UK.

I've said it plenty of times, I'll say it again.

The UK is pathetic.


Any other country and these rioters would have been sorted out already. Our "Police" are too scared to actually do the job they're supposed to be doing, due to our stupid laws and the PC Brigade. I feel sorry for all the people affected by these dickheads.

It is total anarchy out here just went to a shopping centre an hour ago (purely to spectate) and it is a free for all with absolutely no police prescenes. With them only coming after I got home, it was a oppportunists heaven out there.
