Tommy Thompson, who works at a pub next to the Sony warehouse in Enfield, north London, that was set alight tells BBC Radio 5 Live he saw youths carrying petrol bombs at the scene. "We heard a smash at the Sony centre and I went outside to have a look. It was youths just looting and taking loads of products like Wii consoles and stuff like that. They had petrol bombs in bottles. As I went back to work to tell everyone what's going on, about five minutes after that the whole Sony centre was ablaze."

What is with London Cops? SHOOT THE MOTHER FUCKERS!

Has the western world really became such a pussy?

Yes. The police are terrified of lawsuits. It's sickening.

Because shooting rioters seems to be the most logical non-pussified response... Seems like you forgot to remember that clubbing and spraying with fire hoses are the ultimate manly ways of dealing with rioters (USA 1960s/70s). How about using dogs and tear gas? Nope gotta shoot them...

Fire hoses and tear gas are illegal to use against rioters in the UK.

Then bust out those billy clubs and start beating. Riot police if used effectively can scatter the rioters with ease. Line them up in a line with shields and clubs and send them forward. I thought UK police were good with clubs?

Only during Happy Hour.

So, I gather this is part of a wave of riots going on for days now? Anyone can explain?
Shit, I should watch more news.
