Situation In London

[SugarD]

Guys, be mature about this. People are being injured and killed over a national incident in England. This is nothing to joke about.

CALM DOWN!

Dude, we're not fighting. Just because I used profanity in my last post does not mean we're now fighting.

Supertrol..

Apparently an emergency meeting has been called with the Prime Minister as things have gotten out of control for police. I've spoken with a couple friends in the U.K. and they report their safe, but there's still many more of our's out there we don't know about yet. Considering a very large amount of Argo players come from there, I just hope that every single one of our members gets out of this alive and safe.

'Out of control' is an understatement. There simply isn't enough police to handle the situation.

It's horrible seeing these images and knowing we can't do anything to help those that are begging for it. I just hope this all ends soon...and peacefully. The last thing I want to see is an all-out war because things don't get under control.

I hope it does as well, but things aren't looking good at all. We're more than certainly going to lose our rights to host the Olympics due to this - not that I really gave a shit anyway.

The thing that annoys me is that these rioters will, without a care, go about causing all this damage to the city, and when the government makes cuts to pay for the repairs, they'll just start moaning about that.

Ya, the unfortunate cycle of the world economy. People screw up and cost themselves money, the government charges them to pay for it for them. Kinda odd how that works. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the Rodney King riots. We can only wait and see though...

This is the exact reason why we don't allow such topics and why the Political/Religion board was closed off.

This is not a political or religious debate. It's world news in which thousands are being displaced, threatened, injured, or killed. This isn't a joke.

It isn't a joke. It is political.

[Allison]

God forbid we talk about something that affects a majority of us here.

Sure hope they come out of this with a peaceful resolution.

[SugarD]

It isn't a joke. It is political.

Please tell me how this is in any way political. This has nothing to do with politics. Until I see someone holding a mass-vote on how to deal with the situation, or a political leader make a statement regarding England's economy as a result of this, I do not see this as political in any single way whatsoever.

Though Sugar, I do have to agree with you, my local news channels are not even saying anything about it. Though the Russian feed I have at home (VESTI24) gives so much more detail and actual footage and stuff. It is very surprising and I feel that something is going on that US doesn't want us to know...
