BigFatCoward Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 surprised nobody has put this up so far, what is it about social unrest that means people are so desperate to own a clock radio? why do we allow people behave like this? where is the incentive to behave properly when we just stand by and let them steal and throw bricks and set fire to shit? would this sort of behaviour be tolerated in any other western country? why don't we have trained rhino's. don't worry people, i'm safe and sound sat behind my desk.p.s. how can the fuckers afford petrol for the molotov cocktail's? petrol is ridiculously expensive.

The Blue Bard Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Coppers shot a black kid, because he was black and therefore had obviously committed a crime. First thing you learn at police academy. His family led a peaceful march to the local cop shop where they were left standing outside for 5 hours. And the rest was history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagathai Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sounds like the city is crying out for the return of Maggie Thatcher. She'd know what to do with these hooligans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoë Sumra Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Some overpaid tit on the London news is calling the situation an "insurrection". It's not an insurrection. It's a series of riots. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were waiting for you 'cause we thought you'd have the inside story for us!Glad you're safe behind that riot proof desk, just watch out for opportunist looters.

Yagathai Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It's so cute interesting listening to people from the UK talk about police shooting minorities in some kind of systemic and institutionalized way. It's kind of like when people that aren't from Phoenix start complaining about hundred-degree weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of like when people that aren't from Phoenix start complaining about hundred-degree weather.Remember we like to think of this as America's problem. See the outcry over MPs' expenses involving relatively small amounts of siphoning from the public purse, far less than is the expected situation in somewhere like Equatorial Guinea, because we like to think of official graft as something that happens elsewhere.
