C/WMark Please! Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That happens almost every night though. You seem to be implying that there's shit going down when there isn't. I don't see why you want to give the city a bad name? I was in Cardiff earlier on and although the police were everywhere, it was way quieter than usual. Â I don't want Cardiff to have a bad name, we've had enough of that with football hooligans from years back (Soul Crew) the notourious gang that would fight anyone. Â I live in Ely, in Cardiff and it has a really bad reputation, infact we had riots down here 20 or so years ago which lasted a flat out 2 weeks and gained massive coverage. If it did kick off in my area, the public would tackle the yobs, they wouldn't lock there doors and hide, they would fight for what they believe in, a peacful life.

CurryAngel Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Someone from the Manchester city council is pleading for the parents of the looters to grass up their children. Whilst a great idea in principle, in practice if they are allowing their kids out obviously knowing where they are going, I don't think there is a hope in hell of them doing this.

Stinky Dad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Jesus, I could probably have this conversation with you over the back fence! No worries. I'm sure we'll cross paths (if we already haven't) in the ale house at some point. But if it does go off round here for some reason, I'm getting over the expressway and letting the lions out! Â Â From my bedroom window I can see the ominous lights of the Copper Chopper circling on the skyline above the stricken area. A very eerie sight against a pretty much cloudless sky.

MinceMcMahon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Cardiff was really quiet tonight. There were a few attempted burglaries on the outskirts of town but I think that's because they've put all police resources into the city centre to tackle the almost non-existent threat of a full scale riot.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 Man, the bastards have been out in force in Birmingham. I can understand Whiskey and co's points of view in this thread it's important to get to the root of why it's happening but this shit has gotta stop by any means now. There's no time for polite discussion and debate with these idiots.  My sister and her kids live in Chelmsley Wood and I've got an aunt and uncle and some close friends living just outside the city centre. Luckily they're all OK for now, but when family members and friends are at risk because some little cunt wants to nick smartphones and smash up shop windows I've got no mercy for the dickheads. If they get hurt by police or people protecting themselves then tough shit. Rather them get hurt than innocent people trying to get on with their lives.  TheRock Dwayne Johnson UK - I got eyes on you. Im following. Be safe and strong. PM's returning. Time for military order. 9 Aug  The Rock's got our backs, everything's gonna be OK  Hope everyone on here is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 London was dead last night. I got a taxi home from work as I didnt fancy walking the few miles to the train station and was expecting to drive through scenes of carnage and in actual fact any trouble is really quite sparse. Speaking to a few people they seem to think every street corner is ablaze when in actual fact there are very few places that have seen trouble, the few things youve seen on TV really is it, theres not some sort of constant stream of chaos throughout London, just a few limited areas across the City.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 3 lads killed in Birmingham after been hit by a car. Dad of one of them was on 5 live. Heartbroken, obviously, but said he was a good lad, 21, worked as a mechanic and never in any trouble. Which means he was either an innocent bystander or rioting was out of character.
