Situation In London

[Reece]

This is so fucked up.

My plane landed about 4 hours ago, in London so I got my mum to talk me up to Tottenham so I could have a look at it.

All I can say is what the fuck?

So many historical buildings, fucked, it's disgusting what people will do to make a bit off money.

If it spreads to where I live (I hope it doesnt.......) I will be getting myself a baseball bat and placing it at my front door. I am not putting up with this low life scum kicking my door in, and Im not going to go out and cause shit, but, you know, just in case they break in, its there if I need it.. Although I live a few miles away from the town centre there aren't actually that many low life scum like that around here, not all people, but the main source of this are people who live on council estates, and thank god the nearest one is about 6 miles away. But

Yeah in case you couldn't tell I am pretty pissed I come back to this.

From what I have seen on the news, its mainly teenagers causing this shit.

So, I guess you get the idea... On the news I spotted a lot of them stealing laptops, wallets, cashier machines.... They even ripped apart a ATM... So what does that tell you?

They want more money.

[Nathan]

They want more money.

They should probably fucking work for it! Lazy scums need to grow the fuck up and understand that nobody will take care of them and that they are on their own.

Show me a political reference that has anything to do with people rioting over police shooting someone.

They are rioting cause they feel that British politicians  has turned their backs on the constant injustices that is happening to their community last few years, the death of this guy, was just a trigger.

That's exactly it. This is the reason those scums are all out there looting shit; because they're idiots with no jobs, who can't afford it. They blame the government for the lack of jobs and the economic situation, but destroying your own city isn't going to f**king solve it.

While a small minority are actually fighting for a cause, the vast majority are just low-life, looting scum. They don't really give a crap about the guy that was shot - to them, it's just their excuse.

They are rioting over the fact that someone was unjustly shot in their eyes. It is only continuing due to political issues, but that still does not make this topic political. If we were discussing the political reasons behind the riots themselves, then that would make this topic about politics. Right now it's just world news.

If this was only done by one shooting in Tothenham, then it wouldn't spread around entire London area, North and South, not to mention other cities like Bristol, and even Liverpool.

I think everyone is aware of that.

You would be surprised. When the Rodney King incident happened in Los Angeles in 1992, it created a national incident that caused the federal government to have to try the officers involved in court in an area that didn't have people with pre-conceived beliefs either way about whether they had done it for racism, or to follow correct police procedures. The hatred caused by this, and the resulting verdicts, not only caused the L.A. riots, but it also caused police across the country to become hated and believed that all were racist...which is something that is still believed worldwide today as a result.

People jump on the bandwagon pretty damn fast.

lolkbro.

Luckily nobody has yet been killed (afaik) apart from that one guy who got shot in Croydon.

Not anymore they aren't. The protest in Tottenham was regarding this but every incident since has just been shitheads taking the opportunity to steal and loot because they're too poor and too lazy to get a job.

This has f**k all to do with the guy who got shot by police. Most people probably don't even know about him at all.
Also this has nothing to do with people "rioting against the government". I think anyone who says that overestimates the intelligence of these scumbags. They're just rioting to burn shit because they're unintelligent savages and to steal stuff because they're greedy, lazy and poor.

I'm aware that the rioting is just by kids now. I only meant what sparked it. I agree though, this is absolutely ridiculous. Both the police, and the dumb citizens involved that are taking advantage of this situation, need to get their shit together. The Police Commissioner needs to issue a retraining for every officer out there so that they are better prepared to handle this, and the citizens need to open up their damn eyes and fix their damn attitudes. If you want to prosecute the cops for shooting someone you believe to be innocent, demand their asses be taken to court, not tear apart your own damn city to take out your rage, only to allow for your own kids to start stealing shit and attack the cops.

As a side note, I think the whole world needs to learn from this. Apparently the Rodney King incidents weren't enough to wake people the **** up.

The protest in Tottenham was peaceful, people unrelated to it started to riot and it spread from there. Like I said, it stopped being about the police shooting in a matter of minutes.

I don't even know who that is, so I can guarantee you that the chavs from the council estates probably also don't.


Man, this is really quite widespread. One of my mates knows a guy who looted some stuff in Birmingham. Shit's crazy, bro.

I haven't saw any mass riots in San Francisco or Sacramento cause of Rodney King case, like it happen in Liverpool and other cities, far away from London.

Well that's part of my point. The hatred was felt country-wide, and resulted in many smaller incidents arising. On the flip side of my other argument, police were able to contain this to just Los Angeles because they had the appropriate training and access to things they needed, despite it being heavily out of control in such a large city.

I just read on the Swedish newspaper that they will set in 16,000 policemen in the London areas to calm everything down, every policeman is now called back to work from their holidays.

And I even saw a picture of a blowed up London bus who was taken by a Swede who studies at the university in London.
