Anarchy in The UK - London Riots

[Larry B.]

Scary...

Stay safe

Let's here something about the racial component of this from the people closer to the problem. It's the kind of thing the media avoids like the plague.

oh how great it is when jasper makes a grammatical error.

FU, creep, I'm sick as fuck. :crying:

Also, gimme back my deadpan smiley, you callous bastard.

Wow that's some serious ignorance in that clip. Destroying local businesses to show the rich people you can do what you want? It's the conservatives fault?

I was beginning to think about my plan to move out of the US in the next ten years now I'm thinking I better get slot on the first colony on Mars. At least we get to live through the end of the world.

That's probably true. I'm not planning to leave the US so much because of the morons here but more so because I don't think I'll be able to continue living the life I enjoy in ten or fifteen years without having to work like a dog. And if things keep going the way they are I'll never be able to retire. My 10-year plan is to find a revenue stream that I can earn from wherever I am and live somewhere in the world with a low cost of living. I love my country but the US is on the decline.

go to costa rica, all the expatriates i met there loved it.

that's amazingly unfunny.

Let's here something about the racial component of this from the people closer to the problem. It's the kind of thing the media avoids like the plague.

From what I understand, the majority, I'm guessing 95%, of the trouble in London was started by a small minority of the black community. This then spread to asians, and then whites. In Birmingham it has been blacks, asians and whites, and I guess the same for the rest of the country. Three asian men were run over and killed last night in a highly populated ethnic area of the city. We do not know as yet who was driving the three reported cars that did this. All three died in hospital early this morning. A firearm was also discharged at the police last night in Aston. That area again is mostly populated by blacks and asians. Like I said before, a lot of this is opportunism, but could now turn into race riots if this gets anymore out of hand, particularly with the black and asian community. The Sikh community has been out in force protecting their temples from anyone who is causing this damage, and the Turks in London have been protecting their livelihoods. What we don't need is the English Defense League seeing this as as an opportunity to get involved either.

To be honest the size of trouble last night was less than on Monday night, but I still think repercussions are going to continue. A lot of the youth arguement that I've heard is that they have no opportunities, no prospects, cost of living, VAT rise (lol). What the fuck? This affects everyone and the majority aren't freeloading from shops. The thing that scares me the most is that I think a new law will be passed in this country within the next 6 months taking away more of our freedom and human rights.

the English Defense League

Those are some scary dudes. Like a more organized version of our KKK.

These guys showed up in Leicester last night, but the riotting here amounted to very little in comparison to other areas.

Ouch

Ah, thanks, that helps paint a clearer picture.

The government (police / army... whoever) need to smack down on this hard and fast. Numerous vigilante groups are springing up now (and quite understandably so in my opinion) but it's those that will give the EDL the excuse to hit the streets and sell it to us as a good thing. If / when that happens, it will be utter chaos.

I think this shit has been bubbling up for a long time now... last years student demo's showed that it doesn't take much to get out of hand and, unlike these latest riots, those were dominated by white kids. It's easy to say that these ones are all down to the blacks and the asians but it's just that gang cultures exist more freely within those communities and they're the opportunists this time around... without doubt, there are a lot of pissed off people in this country at the moment, across all races and communities, and it's not taking much at all to spark off scenes like the ones we're seeing.

All that said, i don't feel any less hate towards these twats than anyone else and I will think nothing of defending my community if it comes to it. Fingers crossed the government will finally react and give the police licence to enforce law in the way that the majority of the country want to see.

Ouch

That's beautiful.

Undercover coppers I'm led to believe. What I don't get is why is he trying to break into a Budget Rent-a-Car shop? Unless he's just likes smashing windows?

[Bandit72]

Not sure if you've seen this stateside? Absolutely disgusting. He's just had half his teth knocked out. I believe one has been arrested so far. Not sure which one.

Saw this on CNN last night. Makes me absolutely fucking sick. Humanity is dead. What the fuck is wrong with people? Everyone just out for themselves and no one gives a shit about each other anymore.

I just think children should be screened for mental illness and be taught social skills properly.

I can recall having a "class" back in grade 1 or so, possibly later, called "Social Skills" where they actually went over basic shit... because even though *some* kids might get inculcated properly at home, not all will, and we have to live with those people. Also, some people are physically fucked up, and teachers should be trained to notice that shit and get em help before they start skinning cats alive and shooting people.

I guess a lot of that is just what we call "reality", shit that gets better when things "progress", but probably never goes away permanently (sometimes things shift... Obviously some countries have more of a problem with, say, rape, than others...)

in the end i guess it all just comes down to people who hate budget rent a car and those who love budget rent a car.

when will the madness end?

why can't societies live in peace?
