Tottenham riots

[George2Loose]

It is time to use force. Desperate times and all that. Was listening to 5 live were a street worker was saying "You have to engage with this people who are on the edge of society.... we should be out on the streets talking to them while they burn buildings..." Couldn't believe my ears.

Think it's a big test of Cameron too- let's see what he's made of

Pack them all off to parts of Africa so they can see what REAL poverty and hardship is really like.

Fucking wankers the lot of them

Makes me wish for Thatcher.


Now to sit back and wait for Rod

Other countries would'nt stand for this.  The law is too fkin soft.  Get in there with rubber bullets and go in hard.  These idiots need a good hiding and as for the parents........

Then again, they could just be warming up for the new football season which starts on Saturday

Why do Parents let their childern go out in the middle of summer wearing winter coats with hoods?

Maybe they think they are off to play poker.

[Matt.NFFC.]

Seriously though, if these guys are getting hit by police then so what.....they shouldn't be there.  Go home to your families and abide by the law like the rest of have to.

The police really need to make a stand now and get stuck in to 'em.

from 2p2

I live in Liverpool and had been blazing and watching the riots progress through the night on BBC and Sky with a couple of friends.

Drove out to drop one of my friends home, and on the way back was flagged down by a guy in the middle of the road in a high vis jacket. At first we were slightly sceptical but then when we saw the cuts to his face were much more understanding.

Got him into my car and he said what happened. The man was a truck driver in his lates 30's early 40's. Had pulled up on the side of the road to sleep and his truck was broken into by 4 lads. Hammers used to smash in the windows. Dragged him out the truck and beat him, kicked him in the eye leaving him with a very bloody and swollen eye.

We called the busys and tried to follow the truck. But by this stage it had gotten away and there were many routes it could have taken. The police arrived and sorted it from there. The truck was found 2 miles away dumped in the middle of a very poor area, high in crime.

Me and my friend were just in pure shock. That some people must actually rationalise doing things like this and be able to live with themselves. A disgusting and totally needless act.

The fact that there are even riots in Liverpool is ridiculous. Just a bunch of complete morons from a weaker gene pool, seeing whats happening in London and for some reason thinking they must follow suit.

Complete bullheads the lot of them. All completely worthless.

We police by consent, we won't be bringing the army in. Another night of this and she'll be out of a job imo.

[Geo the Sarge]

If the Army were to be used, I'd like to see something in the order of:

Saturate the area and herd them all into one area - contain/kettle, call it what you like.

Once contained, ship into a fleet of trucks and taken to some disused Army camp or similar, then processed over a few days.

Mugshots/Fingerprints/DNA/Personal details taken. When run through the various datbases at a later time would probably identify culprits for various crimes not even linked to the current situation.

Using any photographic/CCTV evidence where possible to identify any currently held, charge and transport to prison to be remanded before appearing at court. Most importantly, ensure the sentencing reflects that we will no longer tolerate this sort of crap.

Will it happen, probably not because immediate costs would be huge. Guaranteed the costs for going about it without the above process will be just as large, if not more.

Yes, there maybe some unfortunates amongst them, however for a few days hardship gotta be worth the sacrifice, after all think of the years of hardship that has been inflicted on so many innocents so far due to loss of businesses/homes due to these morons.

What does "We police by consent" mean? Just involving community leaders? Do they think that's going to work?

Fairly sure that's illegal unless a state of emergency has been called off.
