Wow, you have very poor information in regards to the use of baton round usage in the North of Ireland!

Baton rounds where used against young people in Belfast not more than a few weeks ago ...... almost 100 fired in the space of a few hours against far smaller numbers than those looting and rioting in London!

Funny how its ok to use such force upon citizens of the same country, who by the way where rioting over real issues ...... but not against a group of scumbags looking to cause mayhem and to line their pockets.

Against the IRA!

Get a clue before spouting lies!

I didn't know this, I stand corrected. And I'm very surprised they are still being used over there, we hear nothing about it here.

I really don't think firing potentially lethal rounds into kids and teenagers will help things though.

 

[SmokyDave]

.....

This is not the correct response. You kill the cancer, not the patient.

Is everything in poundland exactly one pound?

Christ.

I just don't know what to say.

 

[Sourtreats]

Listen to these cunts being interviewed.

"We'll do what we want. It's the rich people. It's the government - Conservatives, or whoever is it lols"

What.

It's insulting to be in the same generation as them.

Fair enough sir, the media keeps such things under wraps to promote the falsehood of normality reigning supreme in Ireland.

kicking off in brixton again riots going on there now

 

[D4Danger]

fucking morons.

 

[BGBW]

One pound or less.

kicking off in brixton again riots going on there now

Oh for cock's sake. Hopefully they stay away from the hill, or is that where they consider the "rich" to live.

 

[Jburton]

Sad, pathetic people!

Neuter the lot of them!

The idea of these types of people breeding is scary! ........ I can't imagine people so ignorant and downright stupid raising children!

Imagine the offspring!

 

[marvelharvey]

they barely know who the current government is, the rest they were bullshitting.

"errrr, the errrr, errr Konsirvateves? yeah innit"

 

[Busty]

BREAKING.....

Owing to the violence in London all Carling Cup matches have been postponed apart from Leeds and Millwall who have declared it 'Ladies Night'.

Spoiler

...don't forget to tip your waitress. I'm here all week.

 

[Your Excellency]

Rumours are that the police will be using rubber bullets tonight. The only way you can kill someone with a rubber bullet is if you get them directly in the eye. Hope they've been practising their headshots!

I really doubt they want to go after the rich people. They just want free stuff.

 

[DECK'ARD]

14.05 We're getting initial reports that shops and banks in Uxbridge are closing down following rumours of a riot planned for 3pm. Around 100 officers are in the town centre.

 

[Leonsito]

For a non native english speaker... what the fuck does "innit" means ?

Edit: It is: "Isn't it ?" ?

 

[Falt]

Heart goes out to anyone affected by the last few days, truly mind blowing stuff.

Moving to Stratford, London tomorrow from Dublin. Arriving by Ferry at Hollyhead, driving from there on.

Little anxious as we don't know the area, and we're in a big red van with Irish plates. Any advice would be greatly appreciated?

 

[okdakor]

Plenty of innocent kids have been killed by rubber and plastic bullets.

Someone should tell the innocent kids to stay at home tonight...

For the others :

My friends live further up the hil, her most recent tweet
"over heard a woman say she was chucked out of Brixton library as the riots are in Camberwell. Police shot off in that direction #londonriots"

 

[SmokyDave]

You should meet the parents of these 'rioters'.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Confirmed: NO rubber bullets, NO water-cannons

[Salazar]

For a non native english speaker... what the fuck does "innit" means ?

It's just a moronic way to add emphasis to a statement. It assumes that one's interlocutor enthusiastically agrees with whatever one is saying.

For example, "these trainers I looted is brilliant, innit".

 

[Jintor]

I'm not sure why youth clubs are bad. If you can get kids to hang out in places where there are some adult supervision, how is that a bad thing? It's great that you grew up fine in the slummier parts of london but isnt it pretty obvious that the bootstrap method does not work for everyone?

he's not saying youth clubs are bad, he's saying it's irrelevant to the larger picture of why rioting is occuring. I don't agree for the record but he does have the point that really it's about people's morality rather than simply about the facilities available to them

 

[smarties00]

Sounds like its starting again in Brixton. The Ritzy cinema (in Brixton) as been advised to close down for the day. I Was planning to see Super 8 today as well. Great.

dont ask, just enjoy living in a world where you a oblivious.

 

[Rocked]

All shops boarded off in Crystal Palace area.

That's badass.

And innit means isn't it.

Confirmed: NO rubber bullets, NO water-cannons

1400: Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh says plastic bullets - never used before during British disturbances - have been considered as "one of the tactics" available to officers at the riots.
"That's a tactic that will be used by the Metropolitan Police if deemed necessary," he says.

[Wilbur]

Absolutely fucked off at some of the looks I've been given in Croydon today purely because I'm young. To be associated with those idiots riles me.

Was in a pub in Sutton last night when it came on the news, and they closed at half 9 and we were sent home as a precaution. Work closed at 2, Reeves is destroyed, Orange shop in the centre had it's window smashed and I took some pictures of a burnt out bus and it's stop.

 

[BGBW]

I really doubt they want to go after the rich people. They just want free stuff.

Didn't you hear it was every rich person who shot that one kid. Their fingerprints were all over the weapon.

For a non native english speaker... what the fuck does "innit" means ?

"This is the case is it not." or "I'm the bane of society please fuck my face".

 

[Jintor]

For a non native english speaker... what the fuck does "innit" means ?

correct, local slang used to rhetorically emphasise a statment, innit?

 

[Jburton]

For the others :

People I am referring to as having been killed by baton rounds where not killed at night or during a riot!

And I agree with you, these scumbags should be hit and hit hard.

 

[brianjones]

i would love to loot that nah mean?

 

[The Elite]

Looters are most certainly cum.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Just had a chap from Sierra Leone in the office. He described the English as "weak and docile" and said we needed to get some rubber bullets and water cannons up in here.

'Isn't it' innit?

 

[marvelharvey]

correct, local slang used to rhetorically emphasise a statment, innit?

Is that right? I always assumed "innit" was a contraction of "I'm a complete cunting twat"

 

[Alx]

Looked like nice old buildings there...

 

[D4Danger]

Is that right? I always assumed "innit" was a contraction of "I'm a complete cunting twat"

that's what I've been going with for all these years

From the BBC

I can't remember his name, but someone from the police (quite high up) just said on Sky news that they won't use rubber batons/bullets or water cannons

-Sir Hugh Orde, dude just said he was running stuff in N.Ireland, knows the drama involved in using rubber

 

[V_Arnold]

The endgame really is here, huh.
Teenagers these days... not all of them, no. But those who are out on the streets for BLOOD and for loot should deserve what is coming for them.

They are asking for it, and they will get it.
Disturbing on one hand, and...well, cant really express the feeling on the other hand.
"Interesting" times just does not cut it. Horrible times does, but it is not exact.

All I can say is that if this forces those who would never do things like this, and we can finally ENFORCE laws and morals on our society with whatever the tools we have to use, the better. There needs to be changes done.

I have been hit by a plastic bullet baton round in the leg ......... that shit will stop you where you stand!

And for those that do not know what they look like, imagine the inner cardboard tube of a toilet roll made of solid plastic coming at you at around 100 mph ( if not more ).

Deadly!

 

[SmokyDave]

Looters are most certainly cum.

Hmm. Misguided but profound. I think I prefer it to 'scum'.

 

[Wes]

Newsround flashbacks.

I suppose they all were at some stage, yes.
