In reading the article it still doesn’t explain who was Mark Duggan and what the initial confrontation that led to his shooting was about?

“A police officer was also shot in the incident, which happened in what was called a “pre-planned” event, under Operation Trident, which investigates gun crime in the African and Caribbean communities.”

Those darned Amish at it again!

‘Everyone up and roll to Tottenham f*** the 50 [police]. I hope 1 dead tonight.’

And in a clear incitement to looting, ‘Sonny Twag’ tweeted: ‘Want to roll Tottenham to loot. I do want a free TV. Who wudn’t.’

Yep! Fox News only describes him as a father of four. I am sure he has some kind of criminal record. Why did the police attempt to arrest him and why did he exchange gun fire with the police? No one is explaining those questions.

The crowd looks like the usual suspects, no matter where you are.

‘This guy was not violent. Yes, he was involved in things"

Gee, wonder what kind of "things" he was involved in.

Please don't make this about my brother's life, he was a good man," his brother Shaun Hall said.

Every story about a thug getting shot by police must, by law, have a quote like this. Apparently it's a universal rule. I'm sure he was working on getting his UK equivalent of the GED too.

Yes, the Crusades were a hell of a good idea. Of course, they needed better funding...

“This guy was not violent” yet, ‘he exchange gun fire with the police’

hmmm, doesn’t sound non violent to me. I think I also read he had an illegal firearm or something.

He was kind to his mother.

Whites will be rioting next.

Just saw a video on FNC of the police riding in on horses. They were Galloping in, moving fast, and looked to be about 40-50 strong. I hope a few of the usual suspects really felt their presence!

Some of John Wayne Gacys neighbors said, “he was a wonderful man”.

The perp was a self-described “gangsta” and was linked to a number of shady activities.

I wonder if any of the rioters had read any left-wing blogs lately?
