London is burning

It's not easy to be fair and in effect you have to shut down the entire nation's blackberry's to enforce it.

I read yesterday that the govt had enlisted GCHQ to try to nail down the sources regarding who was organizing what and where. I'm not sure as to the legality of that but the old saying that desperate times breed desperate measures rings true.

For RIM to hand over information on certain people relies on the authorities (govt) actually handing over names and addresses of people first. I'm not even sure they're anywhere near that stage at present and if indeed they ever will be.

 

Although it is extremely admiral that communities are standing together to protect themselves from thugs and looters, why should they put themselves at risk, should law abiding citizens not expect protection?

If it's true that 3 young men were killed out protecting their community then it's an absolute disgrace that people appear to be more concerned with the looters and thugs than the innocents.

If those three men died because they were out protecting their community then it is a sad indictment of those who expect the community to risk their life just to protect their livelihoods while being totally against the police using crowd dispersal techniques to get the thugs of the street. Where making sure the thugs and theives are "understood" is more important than protecting hard working innocent people.

 

It's getting a bit out of hand now...

 

And that's a bit of an understatement to say the least.

 

ahaha , bad day when scumbag football hooligans are protecting the public from other arseholes

just getting more surreal by the day all this

 

Cannot believe the doo gooders on this forum,get the army in,rubber bullets and get this scum of the streets.If problems are not dealt with they escalate,this country must take some responsibility for creating a monster.

 

is this the anarchy in the uk the * pistols were referring to back in the day?

 

No, they advocated removal of the ruling class, the monarchy etc....not the looting and destroying of your run of the mill citizen's possessions and businesses.

 

Three men have been run over and killed as they protected property in a second night of violence in Birmingham.

The men aged 31, 30 and 20 were hit by a car in Winson Green. They were taken to City Hospital where about 200 people from the Asian community gathered.

RIP Thoughts and prayers to the familes of the victims Killed for being brave enough to stand up to scum.

 

Did footie hooligans really jump in ?

 

the spurs and millwall casuals have been chasing them away in there area

 

First person to appear in court regarding looting in London, is 31 year old TEACHER! #LondonRiots

 

So much for it just being youths and unemployed.

 

or kaiser chiefs i predict a riot

 

First looter convicted today.
Pleaded guilty of steeling two t-shirts.
Given a one day prison sentence, already served so has been let out to go straight back on the rob tonight. cuts hands off ffs.

 

Got a link to that?

If true it makes a complete mockery of Cameron's claim that all those guilty would face the full force of the law, but to be honest I'm not shocked....I really didn't expect anything less from the UK justice system.

I'm actually surprised he didn't sue for damages for cutting his finger on broken glass as he was looting the place!

 

Just heard it on the sky news before mate .

 

When I look at these riots I see
people with little educational and job
prospects, who cannot meet today's
ultimate value of wealth, through
legitimate means and out of
frustration are pursuing this value
illegitimately. Lacking knowledge of
their exploitation and true place
within a capitalist system, these
materialist values are intensified
with designer goods as a display of
their material wealth and an
attempt to appear wealthier. This
has been seen in studies where
working class/ underclass families
have sacrificed household essentials
so their children can look 'good' in
branded clothes and not be teased
for having a low income. It is a pity
that these people have not been
granted the language and concepts
to express themselves and their
situation in a more peaceful and
meaningfulway.These riots are
therefore a display of the inequality
that exists within our society, first
provoked by a inequality of police
treatment throughout society. I do
not aprove of the violence but the
only way to stop these is a more
equal society

 

No place on this board for that filth.

 

love how on the news they cant name the under 18yr old rioters because of legal reasons... erm name the * they should pay the consequences!!
