Me me me....I want to join the organised looting, I can only do Mondays and Tuesdays and I don't want to do electrical shops because they bore me to tears, we won't have to smash any windows either because I can just walk in and intimidate the staff with my attitude while others walk out with the stock.
Can I do Superdrug and Principles please ?. A x
p.s Backed up against a parking meter by a mounted copper sounds like a good time to me.Don't believe everything you think.
Blessed are the cracked...for they are the ones who let in the light. A x0 -
I'd never riot.
I'm a total coward.
It's dangerous out there... lots of loonies chucking bricks and molotov cocktails. So many ways to end up dead.
And the taxpayer picks up the bill for the clean ups too! And the policing!0 -

First you loot JJB Sports and get baseball bats, then you loot a gun shop - and yes they do exist in London - there's one on St. James' for example although I've never been in (a few looters may have to be sacrificed here so make sure you're not at the front of the queue. Staff have to be captured alive to open the safes.)
Then off to Jack Berkleys, get a few rollers/rangies and up the M11 to the place they print money (forget the name of it) and get them to quantitatively ease you at the point of your gun. Then shoot em anyway, because when they make the film about it this will have more dramatic effect and establish you as a hard !!!!!!!.
Sadly at present it seems to be smash a shop window and grab anything that you can carry. Fools.
How dull, not one nice pub lunch or a quiet, cool beer anywhere in that lot. Count me out.0 -
I'd be rubbish at looting. Too scared and law-abiding.Dooooooooooooooonut wrote: »depends how succesful you are at looting. Do it right and the previous politicians pay!
I'll have a pub lunch with you if you're in London, you sound kind of lonely and I'm a gregarious chap
Awww ... a pity date. How sweet.

It's OK, I don't date.Dooooooooooooooonut wrote: »oh it won't be a date, I'm sadly attached thanks to this ridiculous monogamous society so don't get me wrong... but if you fancy a sunday lunch in a fortnight's time PM me. I say - why not!
I'm too picky people say
I'm never in London either.0 -

Why don't looters loot useful items such as food ? Looters during the New Orleans floods were legging it down the street with TVs. I was sitting watching it on the news thinking "Your city is flooded. You haven't got any electric. What use is a TV ? Steal a dinghy or inflatable arm bands"0

Been done before, back in 2003 there as an attempt to create a prediction market on terrorist events, with the predictable howls of protest.0
