Magnum Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 So lets just let them carry on. We'll mollycoddle the poor misunderstood mites afterwards. It seems someone on the BBC said the army won't be brought in. I saw that. The same bloke said the police strategy was to 'move them around the city as quickly as possible'. Do they not understand how fucking furious this is making the decent people who are watching this? They are basically sending a message to a whole generation of scum that they can do whatever the fuck they want and get away with it. I hate to say this, but if the police continue to be impotent throughout this, it will be a PR wankfest for groups like the EDL.
benbobjr Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Is there any link to this? Haven't heard it reported. Nothing concrete I've seen and no reports on BBC WM, it was mentioned a few times here.
Paid Members Psygnosis Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Is there any link to this? Haven't heard it reported. There is about 100 people every second mentioning it on Twitter, its calming down now as it seems some riot police weren't far behind. Edited August 8, 2011 by Psygnosis
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2011 Shit's apparently now kicking off in Wolverhampton by all accounts. Absolutely no reports from the major news outlets on this at all, completely focussed on London.
Guest Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Democratic London who's top brass from the police just resigned surrounding claims of corruption and undemocratic involvement from the news industry. Will you fuck off? eEople are using the thread as updates for friends and family and you're sitting with your bullshit grandstanding. You can pick the fucking bones later. Yes, you're giving reasons as to why it happened, have a fucking gold star, sit down and shut the fuck up.

Give it a week and he'll start piping up again.
Ross Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 well I'll ask you again, if it was down to you what would be done right now Last time you said "find the root of the problem" (paraphrasing) which is all well and good once this is over, but what would you do now to calm this down? I mentioned a few pages back. Someone needs to directly communicate with the people involved in the rioting. There has to be an appeal for calm. If they have legitimate grievances they need to be aired. Treating them as merely 'mindless thugs' will not do anything to help.

If you want updates for friends and family go and use some other site better suited to that kind of thing.
Loki Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Check out the rolling coverage on Al Jazeera! What a bizarre sight.

If you want updates for friends and family go and use some other site better suited to that kind of thing. Yeah, I'm not just using this website, but actually it's been pretty helpful. I'm not saying the thread should only be for updates, but please, leave the political bullshit aside for a bit, yeah?

Ok, I must have missed the multiple pages of previous discussion we were having. I'll gladly leave this thread if it is being used purely as communication for friends/family members.
David Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Check out the rolling coverage on Al Jazeera! What a bizarre sight. All we need now is the political leaders in the middle east asking for Cameron to stand down whilst sending over extra stones, bats and lighters for the rioters. Yeah, I'm not just using this website, but actually it's been pretty helpful. I'm not saying the thread should only be for updates, but please, leave the political bullshit aside for a bit, yeah? Nah. Edited August 8, 2011 by David

With respect, Duke, as you have been one of the better posters in this thread but I'd take the political bullshit over a live chatroom any day.

If they have legitimate grievances they need to be aired. Treating them as merely 'mindless thugs' will not do anything to help. You did. But you seem like a bright person, who would you talk to to calm them down? Surely you can see they have no respect for anyone? These guys can't be reasoned with. I think it's gone way beyond that. It needed someone like Rio 'brap brap' Ferdinand to speak to them and ask them to stop. I think it's gotten too far out of hand for words.
