London Riots 2011

[Trad]

Well said artymac.

[Kermit]

Bollocks, smash the place up and make pig tipping a sport, the lad did not even do shit and the cops pumped bullets into him, thats sick but then they try to cover it up now thats even sicker.

The U.K is just like syria, a police state full of corrupt bullshitting cops and politicians blazingly spending our money on little perks for themself whilst everyone else struggles.

Let the terror continue

You have to live in this country and not be a stuck up toff to understand where these kids are coming from!!

[Densha]

You really are a bellend!

agree about the syria bit, &every1 knows my attitude towards the rich & their cronies,
but dont think thats got anything 2do with it,
its just robbing & looking cool (or bad innit ) in front of their pals, imo hip hop & rap is more a cause than politicians,
+if youd tried joinig in croydon last nite they would have stabbed u, any1 who wernt black was accused of being cops

++yea dont fuck with the turks, i know dalston & haringey well & u just dont try it round their,

[Pauli Wallnuts]

oh yea, swords , bats , hatchet, all at the ready, im actually secretly wanting them 2try it on in my road

I've never lived anywhere else but this country "Kermit", what i do see is loads of ordinary people who are reduced to trying to start again from nothing. Whatever happened when that guy got shoot will have to looked at, open and honest, with anyone guilty having to face the consequencies. That way people can move forward. It's a two way street.
As far as i'm aware and if i'm wrong i'll hold my hands up, the guys family want answers, but want nothing to do with this looting going on in their sons name.
When are the 'rioters' going to turn their attention to police stations, House's of Parliament, Buck Palace, etc... no way pick on the easy targets. Lovely pictures of a woman jumping from her burning home, a boy who was hurt getting helped to his feet so others and his 'helper' can steal stuff from his back-pack. Classy, real class.
Who'd be happy when the fire brigade or an ambulance doesn't turn up to save the life of their loved ones because some prick has set a car, someone's home, or livelihood on fire, so they can go looting whilst the emergency services tackle that problem.
Some of the looters will find out what it's all about when a few shop-keepers get a hold of them.
Brave bastards when they are mob handed.

You really are a bellend!

Says you cock head, see nothing, i hear fuckin words from cocks like you all the time and as they are from some gayblade sat behind his puter they mean errr nothing. Feel free to say that as you look into my eyes

As for the others

@PW feel free and bat a few its all criminal activity so alls good in that department, keep them theiving scumbag coppers busy

Looting goes hand in hand with riots, what i do see is a load of proper posh stuck up shop keepers bleating about feck all with a load of posh twats sat next to them bleating about THEMSELVES and the police threatening to lock people up? ? Where the fuck are they going to lock them up, oh yeh in our massive unfilled prisons plenty of room there eh.

Country full of posh twats filling there pockets whilst stripping us of basics, like YOUTH CLUBS, JOBS instead they give contracts abroad even though its not the cheapest or greenist i could go on but this is just my area but its okay the P.M had another free holiday for his family and his deputy a Duck house .

And if i cant have an opinion without being called names then you can go sit with coppers and politicians counting yer nifftys in yer wallet.

[USbongLord]

lets play stomp the cute litlle bunny rabbit in our hobnail boots....hehehehe...bell end...heheheh..funny word...we say fucknut here

[Roccy Tittzenbeer]

stealing crisps from poundland- thats low.

Now she's a classic case for the cops to arrest, the 'fat' boys in blue will just about be fit enough to catch her on foot
She'll get jail and some gang of arsonists will get counselling and free outings to Alton Towers

[spidergawd]

I think if this were a police state it would be the mortuaries overflowing, not the jails.

Syria, Iran, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe....England? I dont think so.

[artymac]

Totally agree "spidergawd", trying to draw comparisons with some of the countries mentioned in this thread is laughable.

U will never understand the problems these kids have until you realise that poverty has a different meaning in the UK. It's not about starving, famine and disease. It's about cycles of beheviour that has been going for generations.

If you're born in a certain place and from a certain social demographic you're fucked. If you can't play football or do music your doing crime.

Adults all around the community that aren't career criminals are either crackheads or doing 16 hour days and still can't pay the bills... so why the fuck would young people take one of those routes? They are in a mind state where they believe that they should literally 'get rich or die trying'.

I am not justifying these stupid, stupid actions one bit, but if you don't understand what life is like for this demographic (who are below the class system) then who the fuck r u really to comment... The middle classes have turned a blind eye for years now they have no choice but to look...

And without the fat cats hitting the problem at the root this won't stop, might go away for a while but will not be solved. i don't want to raise kids in inner city UK in 5/10 years, fuck that.

ps re a police state.... this is the place that DESIGNED the system.... of course its a police state....

My 2 cents.....

I couldn't agree more, it's exactly the same situation in France

[cantona7]

well said pauley i agree.. although even as an outsider i find it a bit much to blame it on music let alone one genre. hip hop has been the #1 or close to the #1 most popular genre of music over here (among the 18-30 crowd anyway) and we havent had a riot of this magnitude since like the 92' la riots or on a smaller scale the 2000 democratic ntl convention riots. i mean dont get me wrong it makes sense, alot of those rappers spew nothing but garbage and violence in those lyrics but still only represent a small % of the genre. kinda reminds me of when after all those school shootups in the late 90's here the media was blaming marlyn manson, eminem, rammstein and every other controversial artist of the times, but ignored the root of the problem like acessability of weapons in inner city schools. and ignored the other basic questions like "where were the parents during all of this". just my 2 cents, not trying to offend anyone here.

[Pauli Wallnuts]

1of the saddest things is the buildings that got torched were some of the nicest in croydon been their for over 150 yrs, west croydon is unrecognisable now, so many eyesores & they torch these
@cantona, im not directly blaming music but u gotta admit its an image obssesed genre, which is what all these kids care about..image
