Did a whole city block “have it coming?”

70 buildings, and over 100 families lost all they had to the insanity of a city police department dropping 200 pounds of high explosives through the roof of a row house.

The blame is on MOVE. They had been trouble for well over a decade before the bombing. And those animals shot at the firefighters...that’s a big part of why the whole block went up.

Wikipedia says it was a 4 pound bomb. The police were at their wits end trying to deal with this, and the bomb was supposed to force them out. I always thought it was supposed to be a smoke bomb of some sort, although Wikipedia just says it was explosive. The fire was largely due to flammables stored in the house, again per Wikipedia. The whole thing bears a resemblance to Waco.

Heck, it's not even Robbie Williams' England anymore.

What's needed is a return to Gene Hunt's England:

"Anything you say will be taken down, ripped up and shoved down your scrawny little throat until you've choked to death."

But they could have used tanks of CO2 and Helium and quietly asphyxiated them.

I’m no Guardian fan but this is a good report:

Lots of interesting comments. Lots of people are very angry at the youths who are looting and going crazy in general.

Cops don’t think that way. They go for the (perceived) quickest way out. It’s fortunate that Mayor Goode was black, otherwise Philly might have seen some serious rioting.

I was in France when it happened(MOVE), saw it on a bar tv, asked what happened, "they didn't pay their rent.", evidently that was the spin from the French News.

I do not envy your position. It makes my flesh crawl merely to drive through there.

It was’nt just Enfield, it escalated to Brixton, Palmers Green, Chingford, Wood Green where serious major disturbances occurred, Brixton is a war zone this morning.

This is young black men doing basically what amounts to organized flash theft, LBC live last night basically described in detail various flashpoints all over the city, it was carnage apparently, the Govt should be cracking out the army and guns and tell them....

You loot, we shoot.

The “toothless British serfs” have managed to raise their share of mayhem over the centuries. Ask James II, and look up the term Gordon’s Riot. Weapons do manage to reach people’s hands no matter what during uprisings. The American Second Amendment is meant more to deter oppression by making it known to the rulers that the populace are able to resist it.

But if oppression comes, and you haven’t got a gun, then mix some chlorine and ammonia in a bottle, cap it, shake it up, and throw.
