Norh London Riots. Now spreading to Birmingham apparently.

These people are scum.

It will be interesting to see if people will come together to sort this out if homes are targeted rather than shops. I wont be sitting around if anything happens to my property or my estate.

There are flats above the shops that are getting burnt down.

Ok so all the news stations are reporting the Police are struggling to cope and they are over stretched but they are refusing to call in the army or atleast ask them for assistance. Ok now I appreciate the police are doing all they can and they are doing they're best but surely someone needs to put an end to this now and due to all the politicaly correctness and police officers worrying about losing theyre job if seen to be to harsh they need outside help.

What the hell is going on TV and asking parents to keep they're children at home and saying we will arrest you after we have looked at cctv going to acheive  

[JLCoad]

Yeah you are right about the flats above. Just suprises me that the people living in the area havent teamed up to try and stop it. Heavily outnumbered i suppose.

I read something about a turkish community in an area in london facing off against the rioters and stopping them.....fair play to them.

[Ifti]

Disgusting behaviour.
We are trying to recover from a recession so people are already struggling. All we need now are businesses destroyed by local scum!

You know that exploding dye in stolen money bags..can't they just drop a load on them from a chopper,then pick em up over the next 2 weeks.

Great idea

The bloke shot last night in Croydon has died now in hospital. I really really hope it was a rioter and not an innocent member of the public or a member of the Police.

Are the police allowed to use batton rounds??

Yes they are considering it. Hope they have the new ones we have were you can drop cnuts from 1m with them

....Wholeheartedly agreed!

What concerns me is that if a rioter gets killed, then the Police will get blamed and prosecuted. The current laws are crazy.

What's a batton round?

Just watching the news, apparently according to the local slicked back chav girls it's 'the conservatives innit', when asked but on your own doorstep local people they said 'we wanna show the rich we can do what we want' by rich I believe they mean 'working class' and I would be quite happy to show them they can't do what they want!

These scum, yes scum of the earth, probably don't even know who the conservative leader is or anybody else in government for that matter.

Anyone seen the film K-Pax with Kevin Spacey?

Quote 'everybody knows the difference between right and wrong'

They know that they are wrong, and I believe they will have some problems now in the community when they try to buy a Pizza from Dominos which theses girls had smashed up and looted.

The shop owners need to be strong in these areas and put sales and profits aside and ban them and their families.

They looted a baby clothes shop and just threw the clothes into a tree.

I'm sitting here and I just can't put into words my anger.

16000 police tonight so let's see how tough they are now.

Loads of CCTV pics up now and arrests made.

[Hedge]

Declare a curfew. 10:00pm
Anyone out after that gets 2 to the head and 1 to the chest. Sorted.

The problem I have is that the system lets us all down, the punishments aren't really that. Most will get off with a slap on the wrist and they know this. What deterrent do these scum really have? Give the Police more teeth, let them use suitable force without reprisals, give them harsher sentencing....or just round the f*ckers up and put them on a plane to Afghanistan and let them fight over there doing something useful.
Im seriously pissed at all these assholes!

[Nasir]

What I fail to see is why the BBC hasn't interviewed a 'rioter' to ask them why they're doing this. It was a good demonstration which was taken over by opportunistic looting.
