Mostly blacks. There are lots of videos on You Tube. The London cops are hiding I guess. I don’t see them at all. What a bunch of wimps they all are. I can assure you if one of those was my shop they wouldn’t be looting it, but they better be calling 911 for medical attention and removal of lead.

They just burn it for the hell of it. They look for any excuse to steal sh*t. It’s just the way they are.

The 3rd day of rioting took place on a Monday, a work day, however it appears a lot of people had the day off.....

People flee in Hackney as rioting began in the east London suburb.

Earlier tonight Turkish and Kurdish shopowners in the Stoke Newington area of North London were guarding their premises with baseball bats. There are reports now of “hundreds” of young turkish men chasing a group of young black men down nearby Kingsland Road, Hackney.

From another page at the guardian:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8630533/Riots-the-underclass-lashes-out.html

“Riots: the underclass lashes out”

“London’s rioters are the products of a crumbling nation, and an indifferent political class that has turned its back on them. “

Can’t seem to be able to bring themselves to blame the actual people doing the rioting.

Here is a video of the rioters pushing back the police,.

First they disarmed the citizens than they disarmed the cops, I dont even think the police can do anything because of the leftists, its disgusting.

From a first-hand account on a blog.... They’re reduced to defending themselves with “dangerous kitchen tools”:

The looters were yelling at us to get down and throwing stuff all over the place. I got down and started taking off my wedding and engagement ring to hide somewhere, but unfortunately wasn’t fast enough. One looter came up and demanded my phone. I didn’t have it with me since it was in my purse and it was out of arm reach. I also didn’t want to lead him to my passport, so I said I didn’t have one.

He told me to take off my rings and grabbed my hand, trying to yank them off. His friend tried to help too, but the rings wouldn’t come off and I just yelled at him that I’d take them off myself. In hindsight, now that I know that gun control is so fierce in England and he only had bat, I should have held on to my rings better and maybe slugged him in the face.

The kitchen staff at the Ledbury went beyond their call of duty by rushing up from the kitchen with rolling pins, fry baskets, and other dangerous kitchen tools and scared off the looters. Then they provided well-needed glasses of alcohol including champagne and whisky. When word came that the looters were coming back a second time, they ushered us into the bathrooms and told us to lock the doors. A few minutes later, they led us into the wine cellar and told us to lock ourselves in there.

From the live coverage in the daily Telegraph:

‘A gang of vandals broke the windows of an Islamic bank in Whitechapel but were chased off by a rival gang of 100 Muslim youths who are standing guard outside the East London Mosque. Local shops have been attacked’

100 Muslim youths who are standing guard

Were they Christians, it would say, 100 Christian vigilantes....

The post at the end is from January of this year... this looks like a compilation of crap being reported as current.

Not sure what you mean by post. There are no posts to that story. Just images and text.

Home Secretary Theresa May this morning said there had been 450 arrests in the last two nights but she appeared to rule out bringing in the Army and using water cannon. She told BBC Breakfast: ‘The way we police is by consent.’

Okay. Video of what appears to be an Oriental might be from earlier in the year ? Think I might have watched something similar to that back then. Thanks for the input. The first two images of people having their clothes removed were definitely current.
