Full Title: We will use water cannons on them: At last Cameron orders police to come down hard on 'sick' looters (some aged as young as NINE)

Mr Cameron insisted the 'fightback' by police was succeeding today after a fourth night of rioting across the country. He said a 'more robust approach' by Scotland Yard last night had prevented a repeat of the worst trouble.

The PM said it was 'simply not acceptable' that violence was taking place and had spread to Manchester, Birmingham and Nottingham overnight.

'We will not put up with this in our country. We will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets.' ______________________________________________

Alrighty then..

We will be watching...

Lets see how you do..

In Texas, “flash mobs” would call for muzzle flash.

Yeah right. That’s why you have given the streets to the thugs for the last four nights. 24 hours notice BEFORE using
a water hose on the scum is ridiculous. Lock and load now and start hunting these vermin down like the plague they are.

They couldn’t use the water cannons on the adults, but now that the 9 year old kids are helping themselves, it is ok to blast them with water.

The only way to stop this rioting is to put a lot of people on the street, People like the military, and take the restraints off them.

You’ve got to hate parents who would send out their 9 yo children to loot stores in the hopes no one would bother a child. Just despicable.

Sounds like they could use some Southern volunteers from a certain Home Owners Association I know. Looting won't ever by a problem in their neck of the woods.

I am not sure if water cannons will do much, maybe big sweeps of the areas and enforced curfews. Seize the streets, shut everything down and don’t let the people come out of their houses without a serious excuse until things quiet down.

They’re going into it in full Epic Fail mode with that 24 hour notice rule.

I watched a recorded epoisode of Pawn Stars last night. Rick went to Utah to a gun store to try to buy a Hotchkiss rotary cannon. 5 barrels, 37millimeter firing a 1 pound bullet.

That is what they should use on these thugs.

Wow! Very scary pictures!

It appears that outside of London, a lot of these thugs actually were sort of “soccer hooligan” shaven-headed white kids. I was surprised, although since they also, like the blacks, live all of their lives on welfare and unemployment, with resentment stirred up among them by the left, I guess it’s to be expected. (Of course, the fact that they’re white may also be while the police feel freer to start using force now.)

But I did like the photo of the Sikhs defending their temple with those long knives and swords they carry! The immigrants appear to be unwilling to stand by and let their stuff be trashed. I read this morning that a group of Turks came out to defend their shops in London and the police actually tried to arrest one of them for “shoving” a thug, but all the other Turks began to get seriously angry and the cops decided that perhaps it would be better to devote their time to arresting the actual thugs and not people defending themselves.

It’s a crazy situation, British policing seems to be directed more at sparing the thugs than protecting the victims.

“Fourth night” indeed. There was a time in the UK when rioting of this nature would be crushed on its first night. The ravages of Labour have left Britain incredibly weak, and it looks like David Cameron is in the wrong party . . .

The “youths” will simply alert their comrades over their cell phones as to where the water cannons are stationed and then move their looting operations to undefended areas.

People around the world need to wake up.

This whole thing is being brought to you by your International Union Brothers. Anybody recall Andy Stern (SEIU) and his statements about how the world will become socialist willingly or we will force it.

These uprisings around the globe are designed to create an atmosphere where the fearful middle class will give up their rights to government to insure their safety and in return will loose both their rights and safety.
