Changed your post and title. Not just regarding anger and shit, regarding the entire situation. Its a thread to discuss the situation in the UK.

Let me start off.

I dont know much about the situation but from the pictures ive seen, it doesn't seem any good.
As i said, i dont know much about it. Could something that know more about it explain how this actually started off and why it become such a big riot?

Man, the riots have spread to hemel now, theres police everywhere and it's getting sacked to shit.

Also, the riots started because of an 'incident' on friday morning.

Armed police surrounded and held two young men at gunpoint, only about 20 years old or so. An eyewitness states the police had the men on the ground when suddenly, one of the officers executed one of the men, firing four shots into him. From what the witness says, he didn't see the kid on the ground struggle or make any attempt to move. The kid was later found with a gun. Right now, it's assumed the police killed him in cold blood, for no reason. The police are saying NOTHING about the incident. Then, on Sunday evening, it all kicked off. It was a small group of people in East London, which then spread to North london, then to Birminham and then Liverpool. Now, the whole country is in a total gangfuck and people are breaking into homes, setting buildings on fire, destorying vehicles, attacking police etc.

And to top it all off, our Prime minister is on holiday, our deputy prime minister is on holiday and the Capital's mayor is on holiday; I think he's coming back though.

All in all, it's just another dispute bewteen the police and the people. 99% of them, however, are probably just using it as an excuse to break shit and display their anger towards the government.

I'm not saying this kind of violence is right, because it's not; but the government has really fucked us over in recent years and this, some might say, has been a long time coming.

I personally think it's just a bunch of scummy pieces of shit out to cause mayhem, using the shooting of Mark Duggan as an excuse to riot.

The government is being slow as hell over this saying there will be a meeting about it on Thursday. THURSDAY?!
How much more shit is going to go down by then?

A bit of good news though. They've draughted in 16,000 more police to London for tonight or untill shit calms down.

Also it's not just in London anymore. It's spread to Birmingham, Manchester and a small incident last night in Leeds.

Okay, puttin' mah smart ass suit on.

Socializing (social), is mostly about people, the way you respond to them, the way you like them, the way you treat them
The riot was about people, these people that caused the riot had an opinion, they were in a violent way socializing.
It's a discussion thread, yes it is off topic.
But I don't feel like others and then going back to topic and posting something shit.
I have myself not seen anything of the riot, what is it about?

The social discussion board was put there specifically for peoples personal problems. As in if they are down in the dumps, want advice on personal problems, sexual questions/health etc. It was not put there for general discussion such as news. I agree the UK riots have a big social aspect but things like news do not belong in the social discussion board.

Anyway the catalyst for all these riots was the shooting of Mark Duggan. He was shot dead after an apparent exchange of fire with the police after they tried to arrest him. Here is a link to a news thread about it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/05/man-shot-police-london-arrest


Edit: Just found this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gex_ya4-Oo

They litterally make this country look like Somalia or some other 3rd world country. Send the walking pieces of human shit to somewhere like Afghanistan and make use of the Taliban for a change. I wonder how long these 'Hard men' would last out there.

AND i've just heard 2000+ rioters are now hitting Manchester. Wtf is happening?

Worst part is, is that it was all like omg police man shoot dead a black man even though the dude shot at him first and this is what the riot is about last night some black dude shot another black dude dueing the riot so its completely voided there point now.

All we need now is a big group of people with guns to go in and mow down everyone of those damn rioters. I mean what retards destorying the place they live in and their community.

Yeah thats smart, we really do want to give the populace of Britain a reason to fight the police.  And we really want to loose some friends and family members because of it.  Best way to end it would to simply ignore it.  People will simply get bored and say, "Meh no point, nothings changing."  Besides, why would you want a whole load of innocent people to die?  The people causing trouble are teenagers looking for entertainment.  Why should people such as me and you suffer because of their intentions?

Rubber bullets can still kill(Happened in Iran but I think they mixed in some real ones) It just depends on the range they were fired at.

This makes the UK look like shit, all of this; there's so many moronic people who make the UK look like a shithole; they should be arming the police with guns and make them go around shooting all these idiots. Look at them, a peaceful procession (about Mr. Duggan's death) is an excuse for them to start rioting and looting shops, while taxes pay for these retards because they refused to be educated and go around the streets causing trouble, stealing to pay for their drug addictions; which they won't even bother to get help for.

Post by: JF on August 10, 2011, 01:30:40 PM
Lol my dad just told me something his friend told him.

His friend went to Manchester and he went around some of the looted shops. He looked into one of them and saw some people with balaclava's on. He asked them if they were looting and they said no. They explained to him they were basically the local mob and that they got protection money from the shops that had been looted. The street was also used by a lot of prostitutes. They then told him that they were taking pictures of the people that had looted so they knew who they were. Then they told him to look in the back room because there were 3 known looters in there that had been beaten to within an inch of their lives.

So basically these rioters have not only pissed off the police, local communities and most of law abiding Britain, but have also pissed of the not so law abiding.


On a sad note, 3 decent people that were trying to protect their area have been killed by rioters in a hit and run incident.

It was rioters. If found guilty they will be charged with murder.

In my home town of Enfield, a bunch of the lads took to the streets to prevent any rioters from making there mark, and along the way even a bunch of cops joined in as they marched! Although I guess you can't be to sure if they were there in support or just to keep an eye on the crowd. :v

Yeah loads of people are forming big groups to tackle the rioters but this drains police resource even more because they have to keep an eye on two large groups of people so they might think they are helping but honestly it doesn't seem like they are. Yeah its good that they chase away rioters from quieter areas but they shouldn't be in the city centre where the police are, seems pointless because they cant do anything there

I live in Enfield which was attacked. Luckily for the rioters I was on holiday and they didn't touch my shit home so I'm not mad. They're low and a disgrace for using Mark Duggans death as an excuse for violence. Then ofcourse you just get the people who are doing it for insufficient reason (i.e. summa dat shoes), just because the opportunity is there.

A lot of the rioters are under the age of eighteen. As much as I agree that it's dumb that they are doing this shit, you would give the UK a really bad reputation for allowing the army to "hurt the fuckers" when the "fuckers" are primarily fourteen and fifteen years old.
