England riots

[Alexia_Ashford]

(Also waiting for some buttmad user to rage at me, claim I "don't understand" and then resort to personal attacks, even though riots of a far greater nature have occurred in other regions of the world. Happens here and we think it's the end of the world.)

I hope this needling isn't aimed at me.

Shows what London's youth are truly after. "I've got a free Playstation!"

Operation Cobra will soon be in effect.


Oh those bastards

The truth is these riots were caused when people found out that Robert Downey Jnr isn't returning for Iron Man 3.

And the stockbrokers? Oh wait!

Hope all my friends over there are holding up. I know you classy folk aren't accustomed to such riots so let me break it down (no pun intended).

Guns are your friend. You need to defend yourself from anyone looking suspicious.

And..... That's pretty much it. Best of luck to you all. Especially my good friends Andrew and John.

Very sad to see this, but let me just say...

Next up is the US.

Actually this morning I had to bring an umbrella cuz it was raining stockbrokers.

Liverpool and Birmingham hit.
Same for Bristol and reports of attacks on Leeds and Manchester.
Great. Now they've hit where I live.

So much overreaction from people regarding these riots. Like we're the only people in the world who have ever had such things happen. A healthy combination of scaremongering, overreaction and poor management of a situation that could have been contained sooner.

I'm going to go for a walk into Portsmouth and enjoy the peace and quiet.

They've already shown themselves up on the streets post-Bin Laden.

There's civil unrest. This is like SimCity.

Oh shit, next there will be a tornado or earthquake! :p

Disillusioned youth mostly thinking they've got good reason to go fuck up peoples workplaces, buildings, vehicles, and the excuse is because everyone else is doing it too. Fuck off. Wankers.

[[STARS]TyranT]

The real issue now I got is that familys and flats are being involved when they torch these buildings, and invading peoples homes.

The police have said they expect the death toll to increase once they start getting access to some of these buildings.

I mean check this shit out, it's just awful.

Just hope they cut that shit out by the weekend Spurs are supposed to be playing Everton. After waiting all this time for the new season I'l be pissed if the first game is postponned.

Yeah you go with your fucked up priorities.

Get some perspective you clown.

Go to London, I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated.

The first night's protest was fine...they weren't protesting that the guy was shot, but protesting how they were being treated (the police refused to release information, the area's top cop was supposed to meet them and didn't, etc) and given that the initial, non-violent protest is one thing.

This is something different. Some idiot decided to spark things off and now this shit is happening. People are just using it to loot and pillage and it's fucking stupid. I'd hold off on the armed forces - there's nothing like a few death to get a real riot going. But it does need to be stamped out, fast.
