Sounds like bullshit. Animals are completely caged in.

Actually... I think they're out on the street burning and breaking shit.

Fake.

I'm on the bbc.co.uk site, and I have a Live monniker with an accurate timestamp on. But I live in the U.S.

Thanks, it just returned to me too.

Well, my favourite shop has officially been totalled and the riots are one town over from me. Man the harpoons!

Nick Clegg predicts riots if the Tories are elected back in April 2010

Loads of shit on Twitter about riots happening in Leicester - just been out for a drive an thankfully all is clear.

[fizzelopeguss]

What a fucking shithole country.

It's blatantly obvious you're gonna have to rely on yourself for protection for you and your family these days, because the police are incapable of doing the fucking job.

I cannot fucking believe my eyes.

If they did even break in to the zoo why/how would they break into the Tiger enclosure and their housing? It's just way too unlikely. They would need either the exact keys or industrial gear.

Also I laughed at the Sky News guy in Clapham, when he asked a looter why she was stealing she said "she was getting her taxes back"

 

[Furret]

I very much doubt it. The army is a sword, not an scalpel. They are not trained to do police work, they could make a tremendous mess even using non lethal weapons.

You say that as if it would be a bad thing.

Thank you good Sir!

 

[Tattooth]

Do you guys think this will spread to the east end, I just started work experience so I am a bit weary of going towards to riots everyday.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Zoo animals got good reason to rage. Let them steal all the basmati and jasmine rice they want.

I'm just saying if I were a cop, I "didn't see nothing."

 

[BlazingDarkness]

primark is on fire in bromley highstreet, lots of people outside the massive rbs too. argos has been looted.

orpington tesco has been looted aswell which is 2 floors and sells everything

what a mess

 

[Dark Machine]

Not heard anything myself although it wouldn't surprise me.

If this carries on tomorrow will be in every major City in the UK.

Hoping nothing happens mate. I was at Uni in Sheffield for 4 years. Love the place. Twitter rumours that there was a crowd in Toxteth up here, but Police and witnesses have said nothing's happening.

[KingDizzi]

Watching this shit on TV is so fucking embarrassing, dirty little chavs looting as much as they can carry. Seeing people of all colours but they have one thing in common, that being they are chav scum. This country is way too fucking liberal, at least the police should be throwing tear gas and shooting rubber bullets. The most sensible thing would be shooting live bullets or just give me a couple grenades, I don't mind. I honestly can't blame the police, they push that guy and they are the bad ones, they kettle the students and they are the bad guys, they do nothing and they are the bad guys.

Fucking ridiculous.

Hopefully we'll be down a few rioters by the end of the night.

Really need some pics of the Turks fighting those fuckers.

Would love to see footage of the Turks chasing after those pussies.

Just happy us Turks are taking matters into our own hand.

If this is true than it's just going to make the violence 10 times worse, regardless of who did the shooting.

I don't think the police would risk another shooting incident. Most likely gang violence.

Don't mess with the Turks people, they'll fuck you up.

Turks saving the day.

 

[Ronok]

This country has been a fucking powder keg for a while now, this isn't just over the police shooting someone. It's a much needed explosion of tension. Personally I'm surprised it's taken this long.

No it's just a bunch of opportunistic cunt criminals being criminals.

[Bleepey]

Yes, because shooting police has far more serious consequences than throwing rocks at them. Being as that I live in America, I can honestly speak for most people and say that with all the access to guns that living here gives us, it's not like I was packing heat when I went to check out the G20 protests. Nobody else was either. Plenty of people were throwing rocks though.

You really think these punks are stupid enough to give the cops and excuse to shut em down hard?

Yes. I know some of these fucks, they are that dumb.

Turks in Dalston, Hackney

We've detoured to Dalston where a bus was set on fire in shacklewell lane earlier. The single deck bus is now cordoned off and there doesn't seem to be much damage, but the incident has clearly shaken the large Turkish community here. Many shopkeepers are on the street talking about how they chased away the gang of youths behind the bus fire.

"We beat up four of them quite badly and they ran off," one man, who wouldn't give his name, said. Another said: "this is not justice, coming here and trying to attack us." Notably several businesses are still open ascot usual here, unlike other violence hit areas.

We've just watched a mob of locals chase a gang of hoodies down the main road, with police vans on full siren in pursuit.
