Just been talking to my friend on FB Enfield is getting ugly tonight.

Men going round looking to and i quote "fuck up a couple of thieving niggers"

Looks like the baying crowd will get the blood they seek this evening.

FFS.

Edit: And this is why vigilante justice is a BAD idea. Not only it can turn good people into a brainless mass of flesh, it also lures the wrong kind of persons.

 

[J-Rzez]

dehumanizing the rioters is not a good thing.

That said, the lack of water cannon and tear gas use is an astounding bad decision.

I think for the injuries, ruined lives, and damages caused, they're well beyond the point of water cannons and tear gas. Things just keep going and going, more drastic measures are required at this point. These people have no regards for the lives of others, why should they be treated the same at this point?

It's going to take years to recover at this point from this, both material and financially, and it's still going on?

The biggest issue here is, if the Government over there doesn't step up, vigilantes will, and it'll escalate things even further than they are now. Many innocents will get hurt/killed.

Wow. It wasnt long since a few here posted that nothing had happened in Manchester - then it all kicked off.. These incidents can ignite in a blink of an eye..

Crazy stuff.

It only takes one them everyone follows suit. "oh well if he can get away with it them I might as well jump in"

Lovely. And these jobless twats won't have to pay a penny.

 

[dwu8991]

The way it works is that they try and loot a place, fail and then set it on fire for besting their looting skills.

So that's why the SONY center got burned.

In regards to the race thing, well I don't have good news on that front. Earlier I don't think I saw a non-white member of the public helping with the cleanup. They were predominantly young and white (some hot girls). This despite the area having a large black population. I have no explanation for this.

 

[HotHamWater]

It's way to early to start slapping price tags on this shit. Sadly the real damage is to London's reputation.

The police will handle that and that amount for that price.........

Hello and welcome to gaf

What was the head count of the hoodies? dozens? hundreds? or just a handful?

It's hard to guess because you can get into Piccadilly Gardens. I walked maybe 600 metres home and saw about 80 people. Some big groups (all in black, hoods up), other groups of three or four that you can tell are out for the lulz.

I hope GMP crack some skulls tonight.

 

[cyberheater]

Someone on TV said £100m the first day, now I think it's impossible to tell but a couple more times than that?

Thanks for the update. It's strange but all the rebuilding work might actually help our economy.

 

[jakonovski]

Obviously we can't have them all killed

Cretin (and for far more than just your lack of reading comprehension.)

Of course not, but you want to anyway. At least it was your only working "solution". Awfully final that, as far as solutions go.

Of course it's always the normal, hard working citizen paying for this shit...

Identify these people and let them pay it back the rest of their lives.

Fucking kids. They're only harming the nation.

 

[War Peaceman]

Is there some way we could get the culprits to contribute towards repairing the damage they caused?

But the police have made no real effort to clear the streets. Curfews and tear gas have proven effective at quelling riots yet political leaders refuse to approve their use.....

Looks like a mix of race, gender and age to me...

To do that, they must first have a job. I'm guessing most of them have never worked for their money and won't do so most of their lives.

And honestly, who would want to hire people like this?

All the arrested should provide the labour for the rebuild or have there social security withdrawn.

 

[Manager]

On the other hand, there are 750 people who jost lost their job at Sony and then add up all the other burnt down places.

Yea. They can spend their hard earned Doll money on repairs.....wait!

 

[theignoramus]

We know why the rioters are doing what they're doing, but fuck, who would have thought there were so many idle scumbags festering in the woodwork, ready and willing to destroy their communities and others', given the opportunity. Absolutely appalling behaviour. when the dust settles, how does one deal with such a huge undercurrent of sociopath youths. The cops wont be able to get everyone, probably only a small minority of them. so how do you root these people out of society, these idle, young men with nothing going on in life, living off social welfare.

 

[spiderman123]

It's prob Steve Jobs. He's celebrating Apple's achievement.

 

[Veidt]

The parents of anyone arrested during these riots should have custody taken away. And also be fined.

 

[outunderthestars]

If they were willing to work they wouldn't be poor and on welfare in the first place.

 

[SteveWD40]

Still pretty quiet on the Piccadilly end of town, chopper is out still though.

If this goes on much longer Cameron has lost the next election.

Shooting them into space with a massive cannon? At least then the government wouldn't have to pay them benefits or use up jail cells.

Watch him brag about it on the next conference. "... and this slide shows iPhone was the NUMBER ONE looters choice during the 2011 riots".

 

[Veidt]

The culture of these youths:
1. Materialism at its purest.
2. Gang mentality is at the core.
3. Disrespect for authority, disregard for the safety of others.

It's almost as if rap music and prevailing urban culture is to blame. Yes, I blame the wrong type of culture having been promoted to these youths through television.

You can bet your ass none of these mofos would be doing this if all you showed on TV in poorer neighbourhoods was David Attenborough documentaries.

Here's another dodgy Craigslist sale:

2x Xbox 360 250gb brand new: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/vgm/2535752644.html

General rule is if it's "brand new", priced to move and there's more than one, it's probably stolen. Good idea to keep an eye on eBay for these idiots too.

Yes. The knock on effect on this is going to be quite devastating.
