LONDON RIOTS

Posts

Anyone seen what's happening in London? This is my area, compared to what's happening elsewhere so far, it isn't that bad.

Looking at the live pictures of Croydon and Jesus Christ what the hell is going on

Just an excuse for thugs to raise hell, if you ask me.
The riots are spreading to Birmingham and Leeds now apparently. Hope Manchester says sane.

I'm afraid it's a bit more dramatic than that, you know what's going on a little bit all over Europe : Greece, Spain...

Bethnal Green, I didn't see enough damage myself but some shops were looted namely the large Tesco store. Local gangs have either joined or fought against the looters in a nearby area, it's really crazy down here. It's spreading all over. Whereabouts are you?
Why is there riots ? I mean, here in Canada we only get riots when our hockey team gets eliminated for the playoff.

A black man was shot and killed by the police who claimed that it was in self-defense. It was later discovered that the man did not fire any shots at all. During a peaceful protest, the police attacked a 16 year old girl and that's when all hell broke loose.

In The United Kingdom, it started because the government raised the inscription fees in unversity, Greece and Spain, it's unemployment and cuts in public spendings, i.e. less teachers, health care, etc.

This. Nothing to do with tuition fees although seeing as though these riots are occurring all over London as well as other English cities, it's hard to tell now.
England and its punks. Using the excuse of a father of 4 shot and killed by police as an excuse to riot.

Cops need to just start killing people. If it gets worse Marshal Law will be declaired and the army will start killing people.
yeah, that's the answer.


This is crazy news though. I hope all of our friends in fair brittania are okay!

Violence first flared on Saturday after a PEACEFUL protest in Tottenham over the fatal shooting of a man by police (father of 4 ).

A few hours ago, there was a Facebook group of people planning to riot at Leicester. The group's deleted now, fortunately.
No idea why people would put their real name on something like that...
father of 4 != hero of the planet

I'm just saying

Yeah killing more people will help!

Seriously dude at least spell 'martial' correctly.
The shooting was only the trigger to the riots. There are other undermining factors that contributed to it, I can only speak on behalf of our other english members here (untill they butt in) that the worldwide percepion of Britain as posh tea-drinking gentlemen is completly false. Our culture and sense of idenity has been in decline during the last few years, with high taxes and mass unemployment causing frustration to our generation. This riot has happend across London, Bristol, birmingham, Liverpool and even some parts of Manchester. This wasn't all to do with some guy who got shot, but it was an oppitunty to vent their frustraion on the society that had apparently wronged them.

CaseStudy example I went on holiday not too long ago with a bunch of chinese students across europe. The people we met from so many cultures along our travels was really inspiring, however when we were dining at a pizza resturant in venice we saw a group of british tourists bingedrinking and geneally mocking everyone that walked past them. Their behavior and arrogance was the perhaps the lowpoint of our travels, and a real eye opener on how everyone else perceives us.

I seriously hate my own country, no one here has any sense of decency nor self respect for anything. We don't deserve to have the word Great before Britain.

Sorry man, but this is the most stupidest post I have read on this site.

Well done! =/

I feel like that's how a lot of people perceive Americans, too.
This is so stupid... I mean, this riot makes the Vancouver one during the playoffs seem like child‘s play; god damn it, this shit is spreading everywhere!

This is just another senseless violent act caused by a bunch of punks with too many cellphones stuck up their ass! Why the hell do these kids need to act like such gangsters and loot and destroy other people's homes and business' over something that doesn't even CONCERN them!!! It was just one thing…that’s all. I can understand rioting over the poverty and just the ways things have been, lately, but this is still no excuse to do something like this.

Hopefully, this shit stops and everything returns back to normal... I also pray that none of you guys living in the UK are getting your heads beat in over this... Really is a shame.

BUT IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO BURN SOMETHING...!!!



Please? I hate this fucking thing at my store. Thanks. :D
