I know that this will sound very Draconian (maybe reminiscent of China) but I believe anyone at the scene caught wearing a hoodie or a face mask should be arrested on the spot and anyone caught actually looting should be shot!!
Guys I think you need to take the line we take over here. Water cannon and plastic bullets followed up with snatch squads and loads of CCTV footage for future arrests. Make a statement of intent on dealing with these criminals and watch the numbers dwindle as these people are nothing but thugs clinging on the coat tails of any excuse to cause havoc.
I'm afraid our army, and as bill mentioned, our special forces, have been cut to the bare minimum and are over-stretched as it is. I feel the only viable solution to these problems is for the law abiding members of these communities to stand up and be counted and get a grip of the unruly minority..
This trouble is happening in areas of high multiculturalism... End of!! I'm no racist but something had to be done with the countless minorities that treat this country like a free meal ticket without giving anything in return and that includes the White charver population. For some people to spout on about this being related to unemployment is rubbish! Did the youngsters of the north east pit villages riot and loot? No!!! As for rio Ferdinand!!!!!! When I was young I was told of I wanted something I earned it... End of Send in the troops, go hard at then and make them suffer. Those who don't like it know where thenearest exit from the uk is.
My neighbour (and a very good friend) has just gone to London to help deal with the riots - his partner, needless to say, is unable to sleep because of worry My opinion - exactly the same as Syd - if they have no respect for the police why should we respect them??
I live in London and its been mental. Some people have fought back though. My mate who lives in East Ham said the local Poles and Bangladeshis (sp) teamed up to defend their shops and gave some looters a good hammering and the Kurds defended their businesses in Dalston in a more vigerous manor than the police have been. You won't see any water cannon as there are none on mainland Britain and to be honest they are to cumbersome for small London streets, would be a liability really and easily trapped. Will have to see what happens tonight.
So do I when you see these kids with expensive mobile phones and designer clothes. Try working out in Kenya for a while, these people don't know what real poverty is. It is time to fight back, every decent person in this country should not stand for it. We should be able to protect our homes and families, you tell me what is reasonable force when someone is trying to burn your house down with you in it?
Rightly so too, 1500 or so people who worked in the Sainsbury's and Sony distribution centre woke up today to find themselve's jobless. Some kid's with chip's on their shoulder's kicking off about poverty , all because they can't afford the latest iPad. What is that compared to these worker's who were probably already struggling to meet mortgage payment's, and provide for their families. It sicken's me.
The word is that a few hundred people are planning to meet up tonight and fight back. Not gangs or yobs, shopkeepers and locals.
As I said earlier Syd: In my opinion, the only viable solution is for the to the decent majority who live in these communities to stand up and be counted...I'm sure that people will recognise these morons from the TV footage etc, so a good start would be to report them to the authorities.
I came in from night shift this morning & watched Teresa May, our own home secretary hopelessly out of her depth on two different news channels. AGREED, these so called know (f***) all politicians make me puke just as much as the scum on the streets.
Just shoot the b*stards. Shoot to kill. Get a f*cking deterrent in this country and sort it. Tell the liberals and do gooders to eff off. No doubt there will be some think i am overreacting. Do I care Do I f*ck. Kill them whether they are black white asian, catholic protestants whatever. If they are not there they cant get hurt. Rant over
Dont see why they need 16000 coppers on the streets in London. They only needed 7 cowboys in that Mexican village. x
i think it might seem a bit out there but is there a possibility it was all funded for by one of the many criminal orginisations thinks about it there get distractions to do what they want
