David Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 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. It may be bad just now, but I guarantee that if the police get heavy-handed and some youngster gets killed or something it'll get even worse.

The Maestro Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Rumour has it that West Orchards shopping centre is on fire in Coventry city centre. Don't know if this is bullshit or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah I know, it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation but the police are losing this battle and I don't think Camerons COBRA meeting will change anything.

Paid Members Duke Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 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. In retrospect I'm being out of order. Rather than try and dictate how people should act I should just put them on ignore so I don't have to deal with it. As someone with friends and family in and amongst the situation, I'm pretyt on edge at the moment and seeing people try and further whatever agenda they have is fucking infuriating as my city burns. Dramatic? Sure, but fuck it if that's not how I feel. Â Anyway, apologies for the outburst, was uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Apparently sporadic incidents of minor disobedience occurring throughout Coventry. Oh, shiiiiiit. Â Central 6 is closed off, cops everywhere but it's dead quiet. Think it's just incase people come down from Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Wretch Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Anyone listening to the bloke on Sky talking about his family business being destroyed?

Stinky Dad Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm sorry but the Kaiser Chiefs warned us of this years ago. We never listen do we?! Â On a more sombre note that video of that woman is astounding. She's done more to inspire me over this than any MP could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It may be bad just now, but I guarantee that if the police get heavy-handed and some youngster gets killed or something it'll get even worse. Â The alternative though, and it is clearly going to happen if they're allowed to keep running wild without any tangible resistance, is that an innocent person gets killed in one of the fires or attacks on transport. Â If it's a choice, I know which one I'd rather end up in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ive gone from debating the reasons for this happening, talking about rich vs poor, over population, government cuts and every other debate under the sun to just staring at the screen in disgust, shock and just utter shame that these people call themselves British. Im supposed to be working tomorrow and leaving about this time tomorrow, theres no way im heading in tomorrow at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted August 8, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2011 Anyone listening to the bloke on Sky talking about his family business being destroyed? Â "My life is destroyed". Jesus Yeah, that was horrible. Did I hear him right when he said 'I know you've got some great pictures but my life is ruined' (or words to that effect)? Poor sod.
