It was only a matter of time and it will only get worse unfortunately. There will be an element who are simply criminals but those who believe that there are only criminals involved and there is no reason for this to happen are living in cloud cuckoo land. There IS a political slant to this. It's cause and effect. There comes a time when people feel like they have little alternative to make themselves heard. I'm not saying it's right but it's reality.
I feel bad for people who have had their property or businesses damaged, it's not their fault, they are caught in the middle.
Nonsense. It's just an excuse for the brainless underclass to enjoy some mindless vandalism and steal themselves a big TV.0 -
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?
mm latest news suggest a cop shot a cop, it was a through and through from a police gun that hit the other officer and his radio...
im against the riots 100% ( i know martin will moan if i say 110% :rotfl: ) though0 -
Its terrible but I had to laugh at one of the comments on the yotube vide. "They can choose any shop they want to loot and they choose JD Sports"
Chavs the lot of them0 -
There's no political slant in this at all, it's simply the pack mentality gone wild in a packed city where such a thing can spread. And they want us to host the Olympics next year?? yeah right!0
