CurryAngel Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 2 hours sleep, my street seems to have avoided any kind of damage. From the sounds of it Ealing looks like a bomb site, just wish they'd taken out the train station so I could have had the day off. Â Craziest night I've seen in a long while, hopefully they have got it out of their system now and it calms down. I'd imagine there'll be a fair bit of vigilante justice dished out in the next week or so if the people involved fail to keep it to themselves.

It has already postponed the West Ham and Charlton games this evening. I wouldn't be too surprised if the England game was next.

David Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Because it's fun for them. Over analyze it all you like but that's the answer. If it's that much fun why haven't they done this before in recent years? Are areas of high unemployment suffering from a sudden lack of TV's and trainers all of a sudden? Â Kids dont give a shit about Police because they literally cant do anything without hard evidence. What a fucking shame, eh? Â Very hypocritical from you, if that happened and the Police were called up on it youd be leading the Thread on here criticising it. Atleast dont change the colour on your flag now. I wasn't being serious. Edited August 9, 2011 by David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Because it's fun for them. Over analyze it all you like but that's the answer. Â If it was as simple as that it would be happening every night, wouldn't it? People need to realise that there's always a cause. Some on here are going on like this isn't important but of course it is, it's the key point! You need to get to the root of the problem. There's a total lack of understanding and connection between the police, government and media and these people that are rioting. They just live in completely different worlds. This grand idea of just grassing on the people involved, do they not realise that some of the people would rather die than speak to the police?

David Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) It appears that a few youth meetings are being planned in the London area, where topics of discussion in a Haringey meeting will include; Â a community and trade union enquiry into Mark Duggan Edited August 9, 2011 by David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) It's scary to see people show such a flagrant disregard for the consequences of their actions. Theresa May is on TV talking about getting people to court to show the rest the consequences. People know what will happen, they just don't care. Â I'm not just talking about criminal charges either. They don't care if they are seen and lose their jobs, they don't care about other people's homes and businesses. Setting fire to local businesses employing local people isn't protest, it's absolute lunacy. Â I'm sure some of it is built on the frustration of people who don't see that they have a future but it's also built on greed. The people looting shops aren't desperate people, they're greedy people who see something for free. What they are doing is ensuring that the majority of the country will have no sympathy for those who are genuinely desperate. Â I don't have any sympathy for them. I lose any respect or feeling for you the second you trample on others to "better" yourself. This is a country of opportunity. Everyone has the opportunity to be something. Everyone has access to education. Everyone gets a foot on the ladder. Sure, we all come from different backgrounds and have different upbringings but we all put our foot on the same ladder. You don't have to follow the same path as everyone around you. People in this country are incredibly lucky. Even the poorest people in society have things a damn sight better than the poorest in the rest of the world. I'm sickened by what's going on. If things are bad then change them. Don't destroy your own community and hurt the people in the same boat as you. Edited August 9, 2011 by tiger_rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hopefully they can organise themselves into a decent, more appropriate protest. Unless the authorities use recent events as an excuse to clamp down on them, of course. Of course they'll clamp down on them because they cannot be trusted. Idiots will scream about it but they've brought it on themselves. It's irrelevant anyway, they're not protesting, they've no interest in protesting.
