Britain Burning

[Ducman69]

I just want to give a huge shout out of support regarding the reports of people forming up en mass with brooms in hand and also to the brave ones out there organizing and fighting back against the hoodlums to protect their neighborhoods since they know the cops are spread too thin.

Much respect!!!

The latest and worst news by me,

A police officer was shot last night right by my place of work and other such violence.

Couldn't agree more hughes, two police officers were injured in Cambridge, when 40 youths attacked them but the group was dealt with within 20 minutes and nothing big happened.

Mum says they should be sent to afganistan, then made to walk in front of regular troops to find IED's, ie. Chav blows up = there was a bomb there

Amen Hughes. Stay safe man!

I am speechless with all that is happening... and I have to travel in the UK and Ireland in a couple of months...

I wonder if police will do anything about the idiots on facebook who are bragging about how they broke into stores,stole stuff,burnt houses down etc.They are even planning how and where they should hit next.. They might have not done anything and could be just trying to look cool,but still.. its kind of a confession with their name on top of it.

I think that you'd be surprised how much attention is paid to these things - whether any single event or post is judge to rate a visit, is something else entirely. I would have thought that there are plenty of other specific incidents caught on CCTV which they would like to pursue first rather than go for the 'possibilities'. Right now there are also about 1200 in custody who need processing.

Wait a few days or weeks, and we'll see how many who think that they got away with it suddenly get the knock-knock.

 

[Ducman69]

I heard about those three citizens that banded together to protect a line of stores, where one of the thugs at around 50mph just swung around with his car, jumped the curb, and ran into all three. Two died instantly, the third shortly after.

And then you read BS like this that reinforces exactly what Hughes said: Young rioters say they're proud to steal

But just days ago LJ was rampaging through Hackney throwing bricks, looting shops, torching cars and attacking innocent people.

“People say it started ‘cause of Tottenham,” he said, “but that had nothing to do with what happened.

“People did what they did because they could. So what if we get caught? Prison’s full so no one’s going to go there, are they?”

Surveying the boarded-up buildings, LJ has little sympathy. “I suppose you could say people got carried away,” he shrugged. “I threw bricks because they were there.” Admitting they had been looting earlier, the lad said: “Why are you going to waste the opportunity to get new stuff?

I still got love for the place that I'm living, but right now, there's nothing Great about Britain.

LJ! I knew she was a hooligan, but no to that extent! did you travel to the UK just to cause destruction?

The situation seems pretty extreme, but nothing that a good amount of tear gas and rubber bullets can't control IMHO.

Greater manchester police are releasing quite some info on people they are arresting :}

some of this makes me sick

A 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with burglary and criminal damage.

A 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with burglary.

15 years old, where are the parents...



street names

David Beswick (born 27/04/1980) of Anson Street, Winton, Salford, has been charged with handling stolen goods. He was remanded in custody on appearing before magistrates and is due to reappear on 16 August 2011.

Wow I guess I need to keep up more with the news...

The police were not allowed to use tear gas or rubber bullets for like the first 4 days of the riots in case they hurt somebody.

By the time our police were allowed to use Rubber Bullets there was nothing left to smash up and steal from the town centre, so the rioters and looters just didnt turn up. They did it just "because they could" as mentioned above. Shameful.

Glad it's over now, unfortunately lives got taken with it too. Sad sad times for the local people, to think people like that live just doors away from you!

Though it was serious what happened, I'm glad we can still laugh at the "riot fails".

Like the one guy, he ran up a street with a big bag of rice, that my friends, is funny.

In serious news again, today the old man (I think he was in his 60s) who tried to put out a small fire who was then turned on by a mob has died. He never came out of his coma apparently.

Another tragic story. A 22 year old man is under questioning by police regarding the mans murder during the riots.
