Re: London
Great videos. Nice to see the cops finally kicking some ass in that Manchester video. Need to see more of that.
The cops should definitely be fucking those kids up before taking them to jail. They should take some cues from the Police here in the U.S. as the cops here deal with assholes. Hope the bullshit riots end soon.

^^^ Sure like that makes things all better in the US:roll: [QUOTE=Corven;980580]its the new culture that's created through social media like tweeter/facebook/youtube .. instead of telling off the offender when something is wrong or informing the authorities people these days would just whip out their phones and film it in order to upload it to facebook or youtube in the fastest time
they are just concerned about how many likes they get on the video rather than what's right or wrong[/QUOTE] :Respect::Respect::Respect:

Re: London
What made me laugh was Mark Duggan's family and friends went out for a second time to protest with banners saying "we want answers" I'm guessing they don't understand that an official investigation is going to take more the 3 days.

Re: London
The EDL actually started a riot last night
[QUOTE]Riot police were hit with missiles including bottles as more than 1,000 officers battled with dozens of middle-aged men on the streets Eltham, south-east London.
Witnesses reported that many of the 200 men were chanting in support of the English Defence League, the controversial Right-wing group.
The group had promised to defy police orders and mobilise their own forces to protect their families and businesses from mobs of looters.
Last night hundreds of police from eight separate forces tried to restore calm from the mainly white men[/QUOTE]

But there where no looters there. The EDL weren't even in the area they lived in so they weren't protecting their own. They where told to go home instead they started throwing bottles at the police. Though I understand why you would like them, they are a pro Israeli anti Muslim organisation.

man i think u need to do some research on what the EDL are all about on a ground level first m8 :lol:
imo the only reason they were out wasn't to protect their people and places it was basically to start shit if any coloured people were in the area

From what I gather the EDL doesn't fully understand what it's collective purpose is, so I doubt you lot can get to the bottom of it :lol:

brb, north korea isn't invading south korea so there's really no point to have troops on the border. herp derp.
herp derp "you like dem becuz dey support israel and do not like islam" /herpderp
if that's not enough herpderpage for you, i wonder why the police were sent into an area apparently know for its EDL presence...where NO rioting or mayhem was happening....
or as the article says,
[quote]...[T]he stage was set, it seems, for a rather bizarre confrontation: these chanting men had come, we were told, to protect their streets. The police had come to protect their streets. [/quote]
So let me recount this hilarious non-event
1a. there's no rioting going on in that district 1b. but as the events of the last week show, mayhem could break out at any moment (you herp derped again here!11!1oneone!one...aka (in an uber-snooty elitist voice) "you're not allowed to take protective action because its against the 'rules'. and also, you can't protect yourself or your community at all. you have no right to do nothing...[I]only the police have the right to do nothing in the wake of mayhem!!!"[/I])(See e.g. 1c) 1c. the police have been completely worthless in stopping the mayhem to the point that they lost control of friggin [I]london[/I] 2a. but [I]just in case[/I], a bunch of white people, some apparently EDL, are out just in case sh!t starts to get real 2b. and notwithstanding the fact that they don't really match up to the descriptions of the rioters... 2c. ...and even though there's nothing happening at all (except ongoing inebriation) 3. somebody sends in police riot brigade! brilliant! 4. a few bottles are thrown at the police and a drunk turd gets arrested. 5. otherwise, nothing else remotely interesting happens. including the complete lack of rioting
And your comment to this is:
[B]"But there where no looters there. The EDL weren't even in the area they lived in so they weren't protecting their own.[/B]"
This is the retard mentality the plagues your country. You can't stand watch unless something actually happens. (refer to 1b again)

Yes you have the right to take pro active action in the environment you live in, the seeks and the muslims both managed to do it last week without starting a riot. But when you get on a bus drive a few hundred miles then start a fight where there is no fight you're not doing fuck all for the community. Its football hooligan mentality, the fight starts wherever they can draw the line. Liverpool hooligan's fight Everton hooligan's, but if its an International the both kick the shit out of the French. The the following week they are back at each other.

No the police lost control over parts of London over 4 nights. Unfortunately putting 16,000 police on the streets of London every night to cover events that happen once every 10 years is imposable even in a prosperous era. None of these people are doing this as a cause to fight for, they are doing it for a buzz or rush its text book hooliganism
