riots in london,enfield.

[alarm man]

If you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to fear. If you don't break the law you'll find them quite reasonable.
Your words, not mine.

but being part of a vigilante group would be illegal,but would they take the help or go for the easy arrest,because if this continues it could happen..

AS daft as this may sound, once it starts pouring with rain, i reckon it will lose momentum.

i wonder how the police would react if the good people took to the streets and battered these low life scum and looted their homes,would they arrest the good people quicker than the bad? heard an interview on 5 live today asking some chief officer about sending the army in,he replied no because they havnt been trained to work together...honestly man no wonder the country is fecked,the same question about water cannons,a-they havnt got one and b-they havnt been trained to use it....:whatchutalkingabout they need to sort it as soon you will have vigilantes on the streets,i know i would if someone started burning and looting my place..

Its happening right now in Enfield and Eltham. Groups of Football firms appear to be patrolling certain areas, and attacking Rioters - Can't post anymore about it as its second hand. Anyone got any more details.

It would have run out of momentum long ago, A few shot looters would have seen to that. Looking at the TV and listening to the Spanish laughing at the police and we Brits Well ............this time they're right , bloody joke.the whole lot.

Why are the cops in England not allowed to use force to stop these scum. I heard that chief constable bloke say that water cannon and rubber bullets would not be appropriate for the situation. This same chief constable used to be in charge of the cops in NI prior to going to London so why has he turned against force. In NI the water cannons and rubber bullets are always used in riots plus all cops are armed. The water cannons would disperse those thugs in minutes.

as soon as they get wet they would go home.

I have it on good authority that a couple of Chinooks heading SW from Hereford are on a ground recon exercise. That's going make tonights rioting more interesting.

 

[nikmet]

Absolutely NOTHING will happen because the Govt. is too spineless to implement any tough policies such as a curfew (even though Greece did). All we will hear today after the Govt. COBRA meeting at 09.00hrs is more political soundbites.
As for those calling for the Army - what Army would that be? We have NO stategic reserves in the UK, and NO WAY of withdrawing at least 5 battalions (the minimum number that you would need for London alone) of troops.
I believe that the only way for this to be sorted out is for people to start dealing with things themselves - YES, you liberal w****** I am calling for vigilante action. Extreme violence is the only thing that these scum understand.

The Enfield boys are listening to you Ken, just seen 70 of em on sky news safegaurding thier area .............keep safe boys

They were saying it's something to do with playing down events because showering the streets with water canons and baton rounds would look bad before the olympics next year.
Bowing out and handing over to the military would be the final stage in that; almost as bad as being accused of being 'racist'.

I reckon if the police took a hard line against crime in the first place people simply wouldn't do it and this kind of thing wouldn't have happened - they're only doing it because they think they'll get away with it.

[Spudnik]

Also, there is talk that the lad who had his back pack robbed was also a looter.

the fact that 90% of the rioters in most areas of the trouble are black is not being racist,its a fact,a fact in my opinion i blame on american influences,99% of these black yoofs are british born,whos great grandfathers came over in the 40/50 s and who really suffered racism this lot bring shame on them and all the work they done to make the uk a decent place to be regardless of colour/creed,its setting the country back years,i read the bnp website is in meltdown with people logging on,not good imo..

arse holes have started in portsmouth tonight!!

Yep knew that was coming,just a matter of time,in an ideal world we could all be charlie bronsons

 

[grimysparks80]

Just been looking at comments on american news forums. The yanks cant understand why we`re not out there shooting rioters.

One guy saids its funny how at the royal wedding there were police with guns all over but now its ordinary people being threatened they`re all armed with sticks.

Have to say i think hes got a point.

 

[brucelee]

just been listening radio when i was in the car something going on in bury now

 

[Paul.M]

After the footy at elland road, Leeds fans are staying in the city center looking out for rioters, loads of police in the streets so nothing will kick off??????

 

[Phil]

the comments they have made about not looking bad for the Olympics is a load of old tosh. what looks worse is when we have the police sit back and not let them deal with it. I do feel for the police though, dammed if they do and dammed if they don`t. if they had gone in hard on saturday all the do gooders would have been screaming that the police caused it with heavy handedness. they seemed a little less patient when they were dealing with the students though. Im glad to see the guys taking to the streets to fend them off though. so it seems that according to the police chief its ok to shoot the irish and blast them with water cannons but not on the mainland?? beggers belief that does.

Imo grab the ones that are rioting off the front lines with cctv evidence as soon as they throw a stone or break a window and fast track the scumbags through the court the next morning with a 12 month sentence or more. that would put a few of them turning out if they were to loose their liberties faster than they can run.

Judging by what I've seen on sky. Those vigilantes in london, I think enfield, will do more to stop the looters than the coppers!!!!!!!! True peer presure I would say. Just the leg up the police need to restore law and order. A lot of these looters are so young and they are being interviewed and talking absolutely garbage. Talking about what they don't have. It appears in a society like this that even the not so well off do not realise how much they have.
