Be safe.

The riots are getting deadly apparently.

1548:

Scotland Yard releases more information on the death of a 26-year-old man found shot in the head in Croydon last night. It statement says initial inquiries indicated the man had travelled to the area with friends. "It is believed the group became involved in an altercation with a group of approximately nine individuals. This altercation culminated in a vehicle pursuit involving three vehicles which commenced in Scarbrook Road, Croydon, passing along the A232 flyover into Duppas Hill Road where the victim was shot."

Erm, I might be missing something but why would you want to be there if it's a targeted area? :-/

Trouble brewing in Liverpool as well now FFS. All the shops are closing early in the city center and there has already been a few outbreaks of shite throughout the day.


Edit - Have these two fucking idiots been posted yet? Listen to them.

Watching the news right now and seeing the police pushing the chav, they really want to use force don't they but sadly have to restrain themselves. Here's to hoping they get the power today to use force because if that happens, these kids will most definitely not do what they did yesterday night. All the shops where I live in Ealing have already been closed, some boarded up.

You fucking idiot. You're part of the problem.

If the police have stressed one point enough it's that they don't want spectators. You're filling the streets and making their job harder to do.

If you go out there, the blood is on your hands as well. Even if you just want to watch. You're getting in the way. Stay at home and watch it on the news, let the police do their job.

If you do go out there, I hope you get shot in the head with a baton round.

Like 2-3 days ago, I went out for a walk, and I see, in a square of my city, the British prime minister who ate in a restaurant in the piazza! I think It should return home!

Ooo, nice. Yea, how dare I want to see if my community's being protected. I'm such a killer for wanting to have a quick little look! I might as well just kill myself now, eh?

As an American who can't appreciate buildings hundreds of years old like Europeans can, it makes me angry to see these gorgeous structures destroyed for no reason. You can't rebuild history. When they're gone, they're gone. A replication just isn't the same. A shame really.

Just don't do it. You've nothing positive to add to the situation and your presence alone will make it worse.

Wind your neck in.

Part of the reason why the police haven't stopped these riots in the first place is because the streets are rammed with 'spectators' like yourself, getting in their way.

Unless you fancy going out there with a bat and attacking the rioters, stay at home. You'll just get in the way.

Police birds in the sky over Salford atm. I've not been for a walk down to look yet but the GMP are saying that the rumours that Salford shopping precinct being under threat are false. It could very well just be a scare tactic but then again, I'll report back later and tell you all what I saw
and looted jk

Well... That does sounds appealing. :p

Things were fine a few hours ago, and nothings happened the past few nights, so hopefully it stays like that. People are flooding out so I hope it'll be fine.

If you do go out, take something to cripple/kill any rioters you run into. Then string them up by the neck and leave a sign round them saying 'I looted'. That should keep your community safe.

As Boris said on the bbc feed, you have no idea what kind of privileges you have living in a place like london. Then you go out and burn it down. Retards
