Vent: London Riots

A criminal shoots a cop and the criminal is promptly shot and killed. Then the local residents protest and riot because they want justice done. What a twisted community that thinks it right to burn shops/ vehicles because a "gangsta" is shot.

Is that what London is like now?

    Hopefully as a lot of them have now got new TVs, stereos, etc, it might keep the burglary rate down a bit.............................but thinking about it, those who got to the shop after it was emptied, will be nicking the stuff off those who got there first...................

    what a great place to live !!

    I don't think the 'community' were rioting.

    I posted a thread to have rant earlier here is my post

    Why do I keep hearing about cuts to community centers as an excuse


    I am not just talking about Tottenham but what utter cr..p about how kids have nothing to do so they resort to crime and how these areas need investment, or as i call these scumbags that need bribing to behave . It is such utter rubbish they have nothing to do they can still play football for nothing and do many other sports and activities ,they got access to so much online fun that we never had free music movies and games .No excuses such as youth clubs closed down .I am sick of this rubbish how kids have no facilities boo f..king who .So many kids in other countries have to worry about getting enough food and water .These rioters are brain dead idiots , and they should celebrate the scum bag that got shoot being gone from their neighborhood .

    Most new jobs have been created in the south with many of them in London on their doorstep, these scum bags do not know how lucky they are .I am sick of the excuses of nothing to do so they turn to crime ,there is always stuff to do if you want .


    anyway rant over .

    Someone is always quick to put a political slant on some event, regardless of what the facts may be.

    I note that someone has even blamed the death of that poor lad in Norway on global warming....................how pathetic !

    I don't think global warming caused the polar to go mad and attack the group of students but it is a well known fact that the polar bear's habitat is being eroded to a large extent by man's actions which are manifesting themselves in the form of global warming.
