I'm asking if the police shot the wrong person and not the armed drug dealer...Originally posted by Wrathborne View Post
It's what I heard, and that it was the reason as to why the family was protesting.
I can see now that there was a typo, or rather slightly misinformed, from what I was told.

Seriously though the people who are all doing this need to be deported. Too bad there isnt an Island to abandon them on.
Not trying to take a Jab at Australia, just a though that if there was like an island prison cut off from the world, these people should be thrown in there.Comment

The sort of people in this country think that society owes them a living, not that they have to work for it. Although, some people who've been arrested for looting are quite well off, daughters of millionaires to be exact. They are obviously just thick and do not have an IQ level high enough to understand the implications of what they are doing.
I've seen most of it on TV. The worst has been in the rough areas of London, I live in Leicester. There has been a bit in Leicester though, but I wouldn't go near it. Too violent. I live on a main road, not the City center, and most of it is in the City center. If they come to my house, I will just hope I can chase them off with my full length gladius.
About how it started - police were chasing a drug dealer who had a firearm in his sock. Police pulled him over, he was armed. Shots were fired, one was found in an officer's radio, but it was a police issue bullet. The drug dealer was armed and he was shot in the chest, and he died. It is unsure whether the drug dealer fired a shot. A peaceful protest started over whether the police have too much power (being able to shoot a guy even though he hadn't fired a shot, which I personally have no issue with as they felt their life was in danger and the European Convention on Human Rights defends tis). Chavs joined in, they started setting fire to shit and stealing stuff. Then more chavs around the country saw this and thought "hey, they're setting fire to shit and stealing stuff, let's join in!". Last night there were 3 Asian men killed in Birmingham presumably by black men, and now they are worried it is going to start a tit-for-tat racial war in Birmingham as well as the looting, between Asians and Blacks. Been on BBC News this morning, the father of one of the boys, saying "Please don't let it start a racial war". In the papers, too.
Plastic bullets and water cannons have now been authorised, and the Government has announced a £10 million plan to help rebuild. Homeowners/business owners can also claim for compensation even if they're not insured.

Was out in Nottingham on Tuesday night, was quite spooky.
We had been to a football match with 21,000 fans between the city's two main clubs. Incredible atmosphere, all in the right spirit, and a breathtaking game of football.
The atmosphere carried on for some time, until we hit the city centre and it became like a ghost town...comparing it to the opening scenes of 28 Days Later isn't that far off - no cars. very few people, eerily quiet.
Turned out a bunch of police stations in the area had all been firebombed. In the end there were over 1,000 reported incidents throughout the night.
Walking through the city yesterday and the atmosphere is incredible. You can sense that everyone is looking over their shoulder. The mildest skirmish and you're thinking the worst. Really horrible.

People who live in Council houses who are convicted of being involved in the rioting will get kicked out, and it is going to go for debate now whether they will lose their benefits too after the e-petition got 100,000 signatures.
And about the race thing in Birmingham -
