Hi another uk poster.
I agree mostly what pugwash is saying .
Interesting to see what our Us friends think about all this...
The original 'riot ' in London was supposedly about the police shooting a black man in London, who was assumed armed and dangerous.
Then all hell broke loose that night.
Yes there appears to be a lot of black, some asian and white teenagers rioting. The thing is it wasn't a riot. Just an excuse to cause damage shops, rob and attack other people. None of them really knew what it was all about just an excuse to cause trouble.
Then it spread to other cities around uk. Gangs who would normally fight each other were looting together! People were being contacted via txt and Facebook to go looting.
I work in Manchester just 5min walk from the riots, that was an interesting week at work watching the hoodies grouping up and walking into the city as I drove home at 4.00
Yes the uk is very soft on criminals, kids are not scared of the cops. Too many do gooders claiming human rights issues, what about the victims, they have very little support or retribution.
Luckily the people in the riot areas started standing up for themselves and protecting their property. Because the police didn't do it.
Communities did not let the rioters take control, anti-riot gangs started to roam the streets, groups of 50-100 strong taking matters into their own hands. Good I say. It worked the riots stopped in those areas.
Every major city in the uk was hit by riots... I believe over 500 people in jail. Courts were running 24hrs to process the arrests.
