It's so fcking retarded what's happening.

Send the pussy police home to their cups of tea and Coronation Street, get the army in and let them beat the sht out of the groups on live TV.

Sorted.

Rioting implies a Cause.

This is teenage looting gangs.

Prisons are going to be full for a while. Shops got looted only 3 or 4 hundred metres from where my sister lives. Nasty stuff.
Edit- Been in a few of the shops mentioned in this story, specifically remember the rat boys annoying people outside Halfords.

cops shot and killed a guy, that's good enough for the limey's. Here in the states, that's business as usual.

The bit I don't get is that every bloody move you make in London is on cctv, so they're all gonna get caught up with sooner or later.

Not just London, the violence has also kicked off in Birmingham.

See this is what happens when a conservative government is voted in :p
It certainly does give credence to the idea that "welfare" is all about bread and circuses to give the poor masses a base standard of living... (Almost) Every revolution has been predicated by massive wealth discrepancy and massive unemployment.

I've been thinking about this and it sheds light on why the US government will say ANYTHING to prevent unrest. In other countries they flip cars over and steal rice. In the US, the rioters will have firearms. Large numbers of firearms.

It's scary that there is a disconnect between "rich" small business owners and massive conglomerates where the real money is. Now if they can make their way down to the financial district, things could get really interesting.
