HAAAAAAATE SPEEEEEEEEEEEECHHHH
You get prosecuted more thsn a home-invader or burglar if you defend yourself.
Now, in the face of country-destroying riots, the authorities are only willing to deploy water cannon.
England is the new surrendering France.
Nope.
Most European, as well as the Aussie, NZ and South African police are armed. The British are a minority. Even the Irish are armed as routine.
But let’s not forget that unlike Britian, Americans are ARMED, THANKS to the 2nd Amendment.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Black in Britain means Afro-Caribbean. The majority of black Britons descend from the immigration of the 1950’s/60’s.
Turkish can mean both Muslim and Christian.
This happened in Argentina, during the currency collapse.

So many foreigners (non-Americans) whom I talk to overseas here, looking at the USA from afar, say it is only a matter of time for our society, particularly in light of what Obama has built and is capable of unleashing.
If I were there I mean I would 2nd Ammendment-Up quicker than you could say "Jim Thompson", quicker than a New York Minute.
....And this is the SAME LONDON that will host the 2012 summer olympics!
Wrong.
This is a mixture of black victim mentality and just outright thuggery/theft by young yobs of all colours.
Islam has nothing to with this, its simple mob behaviour.
You, like many here and in America, exaggerate the ‘hold’ radical Islam has on Britain.
My prediction though is that it WILL NOT LAST LONG, because Americans are ARMED.
It’s also unemployment and class warfare. How long until they storm the palace?
This is young yob/mob beahviour.
Not radical Islam. Its simply outright destruction for its own sake. Those who are doing it, their only religion is the X-Box, Playstation, drink, drugs and sponging off the state, with a bit of violence on the side.
As pointed out, some of the rioters have tried to attack mosques. Religion?. They dont care about it.
Rolling pins? Locking themselves in the basement? WTH??? Glad I have some serious fireworks for any mob willing to demand a demonstration of it.
My entire family - wife, daughter, and grandkids are in a hotel 30 miles away.
We had some scum trying to torch cars in our street about 4 AM - they ran when they found out we won’t put up with that crap. Every able bodied man in the street gave chase.
To the ones who are talking about guns - I’d love it, but it ain’t gonna happen. Different country, different rules, and one of the reasons I am rather violently anti gun control. Bad enough doing the neighbourhood patrols last night with a sword, but I wasn’t going out unarmed. Not against people many years my junior, and faster.
Better have good security come for next summer, when London hosts the olympics.
Please see post number 177. Thanks!
Oh, go away and actually follow the riots.
This isnt Islam. This is black and white youth on the rampage.
