    ......it's just not a practical solution this......I don't think the Somalian Govt would want our problem citizens either. Why would they? Bit insulting to them to assume that they would welcome them over.

    There's a Somalian government? Hard to believe.

    What I meant was, some of the nastiest thugs on Britain's streets are 'asylum seekers' from Somalia.

    Oh please no, you do not want an undisciplined flake behind you with a firearm.

    ETA especially if you were thinking about issuing them ammunition as well.

    How about wel in front of you with a mine prod.

    I'm quoting a quote - I haven't read the whole thread - but I so agree with NDG. It wasn't like he was young either 29 !!!!!!. If you carry a gun you have to assume you are going to use it.
    Unfortunately, the old saying 'live by the sword, die by the sword' is still true today as it was years ago.

    I don't think there has been much press on his history...did he have a record?

    I don't think that's the case though, the lure of getting something for free seems to be a strong trend. Many photos of people looting goods.

    Just on BBC News, everyone is smashing in shops and carrying as much as they can.

    ..maybe they are like a secondary riot. The main one is the smashing/getting things going ...then the back rioters looting just because they can.
    They must be just as pumped up as the main ones though.

    However they are looting shops with nothing in them.

    Around Clapham Junction station they were filmed looting Wimpy and Ladbrokes.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p
