London Riots, 3rd day and still going? WTF!

You pom's must have a lot of energy/balls or your riot cops are just pussies. Now, whether the riots are really because of some guy got shot or because there are a few poor kids out there looking for an excuse to steal is another story.

If you go by some brief chats reporters had with hooded youths it's because they're angry that coppers can get away with shooting the innocent. I can understand their point but your bitch Home secretary, Theresa May, who said a bullshit spool is just aggravating the situation.

Now I'm on the other side of the globe and we're only getting one sided views. Got a few rellies in Eastbourne and Manchester who might give some insight.

So, what the fuck is it all about?

It's about lots of scum robbing and thieving stuff they want... basically.

The bollocks about this bloke being shot is just being used as an excuse for it. For example last night and tonight the looting has spread to other parts of the UK... none of whom are policed by the Metropolitan Police service who operate Operation Trident in London to tackle black gun crime. So it's not because they're being oppressed by the Police... it's not because they're not getting as much help as every other youths in Britain, because youths in London get more spent on them than youths anywhere else... it's just an excuse for robbery.

The perspective is too narrow to say it only boils down to robbery. Sure, looting is heavily opportunistic, but there's usually a long arrived breaking point to push a mass into collective disregard for punishment/consequence. To make only an admission of delinquency is really to justify the entire course of events they've perpetrated.

Mindless scum the lot of 'em. Break out the water-cannons and rubber bullets...

Your mistake was in this bit "there's usually a long arrived breaking point to push a mass into collective disregard for punishment/consequence" ... We don't do punishment/consequences in Britain anymore, haven't for decades now... it went out of fashion with the liberals who run the Government and Criminal Justice System...

So it's not a long arrived at breaking point, more a long arrived at lesson, whereby the scum of our once great country know that if they are caught they'll most likely just be given a meaningless police caution, and then walk away scot free.

Riots have always been a mix of pushback against systematic injustice mixed with opportunistic debauchery. Sure, delinquency undermines the inspiration of the response, but good luck with how things turn out in the future if you wish to treat it as a monochromatic issue.

Yep, but these aren't riots... this is plain old good fashioned looting and pillaging, as our Viking ancestors practiced.

These people aren't fighting against injustice... they're just taking what they want.

1: There are cracks in the sidewalk

2: No, look, there's pavement. I see pavement.

1: Well sure, but do you see the cracks that make it possible

2: I only see pavement! That's all there is!
