Fuck. Fuck. It's kicked off outside my front door. They're throwing bricks into cars passing by on the road

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?"

Oh, despite any banter we might have had on the Football Forum, stay safe fellow Gaffer.

Yeah, 51,000 Geordies are now en route to London to sort this mess out.
Misterinenja said:
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.

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.Funky Papa said:

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.Goldrusher said:
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.

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?Carbonox_Ratchet said:

Maybe they're fighting Aliens like in Attack the Block?
The police should be thanking these brave souls.

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.Pristine_Condition said:
