If water cannons and rubber bullets are not appropriate now, then WHEN?

Force, lethal or otherwise is deemed suitable only for peaceful protests by our police. It's a fucking joke, they should have crushed this on the first night.

The prime minister, privy council or Monarch has the power to declare a state of emergency and make necessary provision http://bit.ly/mQU72S

Be interesting if the Queen tried to weigh in. She won't, obviously, but imagine...

Literally every single of Koburb's posts is him decrying muslims and blacks and immigrants and liberalism in any Europe/terrorism/riot/multiculturalism-related thread he can get his grubby fingers on.

He won't be long for this board then, thankfully.

It is time to revoke England's status a country. If they were white British citizens they would have used deadly force long ago like when they killed Ian Tomlinson. But when it comes to immigrants and Muslims the gutless British police and government does fuck all. http://sheikyermami.com/wp-content/uploads/muslims-british-police-hell.jpg[IMG]

Maybe you will have to get America to save you again since you are a bunch of socialist pussies who would rather let terrorists destroy your country than fight back.

Take a lesson

No offense Brits, but your cops suck at this.

where are the cool armored vehicles with tear gas cannons and what not? walls of cops in body armor with giant shields marching in formation and firing rubber bullets, water cannons, and tear gas?

I mean hell, it looks like 8 militant vegan lesbians with yeast infections could take over your neighborhoods with poop on a stick.

The sad fact is police are scared to use force. God knows what would happen if they used "too much".

I can't imagine their populace being well armed. We have over ten guns in our home due to hunting, guns that we've inherited from deceased family members, and protection. England is not like America though.

yeah that's what i mean don't they have shotguns for hunting? at this point i would get everyone with cars to plow in these fucks and report it to the insurance. I thought the french riots were bad, this riot is over some bloke these fucks didn't even know.

Not everyone in England lives in massive countryside estates dude.Its only a relatively small amount of the population that does this.

There's not really much to hunt in central london except rats and pidgeons im afraid (the laws to get a hunting rifle are extremly convoluted and take a long time so the vast majority dont have any, like over 90% of the population)

Just amazes me the amount of people willing to loot without fear of being arrested and charged...

Not a good sign of things to come as the recession goes on with more "austerity" measures coming.

Please point out where I said people are WRONG. The exact words.

Contribute, that's all I'm saying, people in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Iraq etc, etc have done it. In scenarios far far worse than this one. Even the rioters are taking a risk. Are you no better than them, even with greater numbers?

The alternative can only be worse for all concerned, me included because I'm in this country as well. Why do you think it is now beginning to spread around the country, because people can see that they're getting away with it, and that it is EASY!

Meanwhile the Turks/Kurds can sleep easy tonight.

Sorry, I'm off to bed now so I won't be able to provide you with your evidence, but what you're suggesting is irresponsible and dangerous. Not only are the police and army better trained for situations like this, they're also better protected. You hit a looters face too hard and you'll be the one with a criminal record or worse despite you're good intentions.

What the hell is going on?

Do not London have like 7 million population? How is it possible that like 500 idiots gets to destroy whole neighborhoods without anyone stopping it. Do not give me that bull-shit about police out-manned. Since when are the police as strong as the normal unarmed thug? Who is in charge? Why do they not make a decision to at-least shoot warning shots? What is this tactic it seems like its based on the protest tactics. THIS IS NOT A PROTEST...Why do they even treat it like one?! Whoever is in charge needs to be fired. They have obviously no brain for IMPROVISING or CHANGING TACTICS WHEN THEIR TACTICS FAILS!


Heaven is where the Police are British, the Chefs are French, the Mechanics are German, the Lovers Italian and it's all organised by the Swiss.

0146: Ho Ke from Woolwich in London writes: My flat is about 2 minutes walk from the main part of the town. I can see lots of black smoke billowing across the horizon and I can see looters trying to get into the Barclays bank. The old Wetherspoons pub has burnt down and barricades in the main square have been pulled down. The Wimpy restaurant, Wilkinsons and Primark are all on fire, whilst JD Sports, Burtons and Primark are all currently being raided. I went out to take photographs and I saw looters carrying boxes walking out of these stores. It's pretty scary

As far as I can tell, those affiliated in that area retaliated with a protest that turned violent. All the cunts in the country have now realised it's pretty easy to set fire to things and loot the shops.

Amazing how that happens when the police are unable or unwilling to do anything, and gun control laws make it difficult for shop owners to arm themselves so that they can protect their property.

Some of them walked out of the stores with ease and even stopped at the traffic lights waiting for the Green Man icon to appear before crossing.
