I predict a riot

I predict a riot i predict a riot

i think i did sometime ago on a post cant remember what it was called

only thing i got wrong was i think that it was going to start in Liverpool

 

[One Day]

You know what? I'm going to predict LOTS more riots.
Right about the time the economies start to crumble and just before "they" bring in one world currency.
(probably followed by one world government)

Ever the pessimist that I am!

 

[user123]

No excuse for behaviour like that shown in Tottenham, no excuse at all. Should all be forced to clean up the mess they created and work for free until the costs are balanced out. Totally out of order.

have i missed something? what's happened?

BBC News - Riots in Tottenham after Mark Duggan shooting protest

 

[One Day]

And it was worse than it looks / is being reported.

Explain??

Explain??

Hey, I wasn't there!

Just dig a bit deeper - bbc / sky / google news - all "sanitised" these days.
Personally since certain events in 2001, I take everything with a big pinch of salt.
The internet has many more sources of news.
Some is exagerated, some is pure fantasy, but lots of it is first hand and often near to real-time.

Always avoid UK sources myself Impish, here in Scotland 95% of our media outlets are London based.

I remember that from February .......... http://www.tilersforums.com/general-chat/45790-update-saad-cairo.html

It was very unspecific but appeared to compare our situation to that of Egypt at the time ( I don't think so). A riot somewhere in the country between February and the end of the year won't get you great odds at the bookies even without an economic slump.

I am hearing that its kicking off in Birmingham now !

It will. What has gone on so far will look like a teddy bears' tea party.

 

[White Room]

Another stack of mindless looting and destruction then...

 

[user123]

Somebody just asked what was going on in London on google+ and that was my reply, so to save me the bother I just copied and pasted.

Thuggery, theft, greed, mindless violence by even more mindless selfish low life morons who have absolutely no right nor excuse to behave like that, who should be forced at gunpoint if need be to work to clean up their mess and work for free to make good all the damages, a curfew should be imposed to arrest anyone out on the streets, god I am so mad, and that takes some. Ball and chain and forced labour suddenly seems a very good idea.

 

[One Day]

Calm down Mosaic Girl! Ball and chain. Gun Point!
What these poor disaffected youths need is sympathy and understanding.
They have human rights too you know!
Maybe a nice holiday or motorsports week-ends would do the trick. :smilewinkgrin:

Stable doors and bolted horses springs to mind, as well as "you'll reap what you sow".
This has been brewing for at least three generations.
My daughters' nursery school teachers weren't even allowed to use the word "naughty" when reprimanding a child.

This is absolutely disgusting behaviour from mindless scum in my opinion.......There is no excuse for this behaviour, from people just hellbent on destroying and looting their own community. The sooner the powers-at-be have greater power to deal with this the better.

I'm sick and tired of listening to people on the news defending this kind of behaviour and blaming the government, the rich, the cuts and the police for this instead of taking a good look at themselves.........

What were getting on the news here doesn't look the best

 

[One Day]

Hey, just remember how people suffered terribly in the 30's depression?
Yet by and large, they held it together. community cohesion, Moral values, Respect for authority and Discipline learnt at home (homes with fathers who acted like fathers instead of best mates) kept things going.
Anyone hazard a guess what we're missing today?

G and stewart well said well for impish would he say the same if it was his shop or car set fire to

And knowing how our BBC like to sanitise what we see - you're probably seeing more than us!

Come on mate! Is my sarcasm SO well hidden!?

NO WAY am I defending what's happening. I'm just looking at why. There is NO excuse for this. Reasons yes. Excuses NO.
The reasons are worth debating.

 

[strummerman]

sorry how can they be a reason for what they are doin

 

[One Day]

Sorry strummerman, I don't want to be insensitive to what's going on. Must be terrifying to be caught up in it.
I'm just sick of the commentators on tv and radio almost excusing the rioting.
Radio 4 this morning was a complete dressing down of the assistant police commisioner at the MET. He should have told John Humphries to shut the flup up!

There are reasons for everything. I think the main reason for the looting is wanting a new TV or new trainers etc.
The reason why they are bold enough to defy police lines and just carry on - that's the interesting bit in my opinion.

Course, if it were happening here, and now, I wouldn't be debating this.
Just running....(or fighting to defend my stuff!)

 

[CJ]

Stop pussyfooting about, and bring out the water canons and rubber bullets.

Mindless morons who are jumping on the bandwagon and rioting just because they can get away with it.

All because some so called gangster shot at police and got shot dead himself. Round them all up and let them fight it out amongst themselves and kill themselves.


SCUM.
