No they wouldn't. People are literally crying out for police to bring out the water cannons and rubber bullets. That's why these militia exist, because the police have let them and their families down.
Literally everyone I know, across the political spectrum, wants a crackdown with skulls being busted and looters being fucked up. If the police did it, the only complaints would come from the parents of the looters, and honestly who gives a fuck about them anyway.

Well, you kinda forget that we have stuff like the annual riot on May 1st. Though that's much more centered around destruction and directly fighting with the police than looting (actually I don't think there is any looting) due to a different demographic.

Ah yes, you've conveniently ommited every other riot in London that actually served a political purpose and focused on this one riot that can't really be classed as a riot anymore and is just pockets of chavs throughout the country wrecking shit for no reason. Clever.Grover Cleveland said:

Cause and effect.
If all these people want/understand is destruction then that's what they should receive.

Sure, OK, lets not deny the looters are being complete mongs and some are looking for violence. I'm just curious to know if people on here REALLY want to see it all kick off to another gear all together.
Have to admit, I was impressed with Manchester Police's attempts of infiltrating the horde with plain clothed police officers.

in eltham that is what they are doing and they millwall fans and local to the area, they are not going to loot etc just batter people who try to, though nick griffith is getting in on the act cunt... as i said i know one of the guys by sight, I do not believe that particular guy is rascist just a member of the community sticking up for themslvesSennorin said:

100%. These kids have no fear. They need a beating.Chriswok said:
Also this has nothing to do with cuts or god damn Ema. Most of these kids drop out of school first chance they get and dont want a job.
The last few days have been truly shocking. It's disturbing to think I share the same genome with these people. It's easy to get all high and mighty sitting in a nice house and reading this thread on my iPad, but if I'd been born into a poor family struggling to make ends meet, and my friends were all out on a power trip like this, venting their anger at the world and looting material possessions that they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford, I dont think I could say for certain that I wouldn't be out there with them.

Not in the context. Those rioting fucks don't give a shit about grades nor youth centers. They never did.Marleyman said:

Seriously. If nothing up until now was able to be considered a "hostile attack" then firebombings definitely are. I don't care how caught up in the crowd you are, I don't care how nice of a guy you are when you aren't rioting, you throw a firebomb you have forfeited your protection from lethal force.Zzoram said:

If at all possible, yes.Chriswok said:
Huh? I don't think people in Bradford do that "regularly". Besides there hasn't been a single incident there. I don't understand why they'd want to cause trouble in another city when they could in their own? Not saying there aren't scum in Bradford or Liverpool. But singling out the entire city like that isn't right.Chriswok said:
You have no idea how much. I wanted these animals putting down years ago, before this happened. These are lost people, utterly broken beyond repair.Chriswok said:
My missus lives just feet from the firebombed police station in question. I'm sure you can imagine that contributes to my bloodlust.

That's the sticking point for me, they're kids. Little scrotums, but still kids. Can you really justify police striking them with batons (or worse)? I mean right now I don't have an opinion either way, just playing devil's advocate (and interested in knowing what other's opinion is).
Inanna said:
I apologise to you, Inanna. The fire remark wasn't directed at Bradford, and in all honesty wasn't directed at Liverpool in any serious form. I hope everyone and their family remain safe.

Mate, any wankers trying to loot Southall or Wembley are going to get fucked up. I've just been sent pics from some friends in both areas, these guys aren't messing around, they are armed to the teeth and itching to fuck some looters up.
If I ever got to the point where I needed to go to Southport for a good night out I'd probably shoot myself. Saying that I've heard from a few mates that it isn't a bad night out. Like you say though it'll have fuck all police presence there tonight so I imagine a couple of places might get looted.Dark Machine said:
I'm slightly pleased to see Liverpool has calmed down from last night, the scenes from Manchester are horrible though. Bring out the rubber bullets.
I'm just praying this shit doesn't affect the premier league fixtures this weekend, I've waited too long for this to have it ruined by a bunch of thick yobs who refer to the police as 'feds'.

most of the cuts the cons have done have hit younger people harder or poorer families.
the riots that started in Tottenham was the catalyst they needed to start something, and all these attacks are branching from everything thats built up no doubt about it. they saw the riots in tottenham and how it was handled and saw it was poor and knew they could do it else where and have.

The public are only outraged with police violence if it is unjustified, the amount of civil disorder shown in certain areas means reasonable force is completely justified. If they had done their jobs correctly over the weekend, there would be less incidents still occurring.

I'd rather just watch as they ruin the lives of thousands of people.
Can't believe Leicester's been hit, still should be easy enough for police to find them loitering in-front of the Haymarket when things calm down.

Unfortunately, yes. That they are kids doesn't mean anything to me after what they've done. They haven't worked a day in their lives or earnt a thing given to them. Jail won't mean anything to them. They need to feel fear that if they misbehave they will suffer, that crime does not pay. I seriously think a slap or ten is needed.Chriswok said:

They're now and forever unproductive societal parasites that are destroying people's livelihood and in many cases endangering lives, regardless of their age it would be best for the vast majority of the country to see them face severe punishment, physical or otherwise

Yes. Like DC said this morning, if you are at the riots you will be treated as an adult and justice will be carried out.
