Are we really to believe that these scumbags watch old movies?

Also, as TV host Dick Cavett once said, "There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?"

I'd really like this aerial footage pasted into the C-130 level from Modern Warfare. I'd pay top dollar for that DLC.

Anyone remember that game, State of Emergency? It would be awesome to get a next gen refresh of that.


It'd also be interesting to have a Company of Heroes like strategy game based on it too.

Company of Heroes: Metropoliton Police Force.

You just stand around in lines while Chavs loot and smash shit. Easy 1000 Chevos.

While a part of me would not give a flying fuck if they were to be taken out, I am of the opinion that they need to be brutally repelled.

They're going to continue because they're not even remotely scared. They are LAUGHING when they run away from the police, not bricking it, because the police aren't doing anything to really send a message to them.

They need a sudden jolt of reality. I don't care how the police do it, it's time to fuck their shit up.

Anyone know what's happening in Leeds aside from the shooting in Chapeltown? I'm in Beeston, just been to the Co-Op and everything seems normal, although there was a small group of chavs outside when I was walking back.

Be smart, stay safe, barricades~ and use lethal force. This is your livelihood that could be threatened.

Chavs. In Leeds. Outside a Co-Op. Suspicious.

FYI, water cannons can be quite dangerous. A full blow to the face at short distance could rupture your eyeballs.

Oh come one, if you're stupid enough to be on the wrong side of the cannon, at such a close distance no less, you deserve the injuries.

It wouldn't be the first time that a water cannon has fucked up some innocent by accident. They aren't exactly precision machinery; you open the faucet and aim at your target with the stream crossing a large area with it until you hit him.

Again, I'm not against them, but they can be pretty dangerous. Now, if those rioters are alone in the streets... well, they have my blessings to wash them out.

Yeah, I know, I know, just stuck in my mind trying to think of anything possibly related I've seen or heard as I was out.

No worries, just a by product of the news, I guess. Feeling scared of everyday occurrences.

Yeah, don't use lethal force. Worst comes to worse, your shit will be insured (and if you haven't insured your belongings then that's just silly). For students it costs like £110 a year to insure everything in your room including a laptop, clothes and desktop pc from fire/theft etc. If this whole thing is considered a riot the police will pay for any damages you incur.

Yeah but I don't personally think shooting people is the answer. Like does anyone really need any bloodshed on top of this? Isn't it kinda what started this whole thing?

Chilling.

This is why we have gun laws you guys can't understand here in Texas. These moments. If you wait for the police to protect you and your property, you are basically screwed. All they are good for at moments like this is coming in hours later and writing up an incident report.

haha yeah. 24 hour news will do that to you. If its any help, people in Newcastle have already started to lay wreaths of condolences outside their local Greggs in memory of the one we've lost down south.

You'd also put guns in the hands of rioters.

Lax gun laws would have resulted in many deaths by now. And you can bet it wouldn't be just thugs. I'm all for some sort of castle doctrine, but let's not get carried away.
