>02.57 A 26-year old man is in a serious condition in
hospital after being found with gunshot wounds in Croydon.

Let’s hope this victim is a looting loser and if so the shooter spends some more time at the range.

After the riots the second shoe will drop - people will NOT choose to vacation in Great Britain.

I've just picked up these two gems off The Telegraph's live coverage:

22.50 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.

22.20 The Telegraph's Josie Ensor reports she was chased by a gang of 30 men who pelted her with stones near Bethnal Green station, East London. She escaped down a side street. 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.

Maybe sharia wouldn't be such a bad thing........no, no, what am I thinking??

This will eventually either eclipse the news of the global and U.S. economy or deepen the problem.

An interesting editorial at this link to The Telegraph.....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

Riots: why did the police lose control?
Riot police stand in line as fire rages through a building in Tottenham, north London - London riots: why did the police lose control?

Police have become so sensitive to the issue of race that it is impairing their ability to do the job, argues David Green.

This is worth reposting from the Telegraph:

04.12 An account here from the Hackney Citizen blog of how members of the Turkish community, which owns dozens of shops and restaurants in Stoke Newington and Dalston Junction defended their area from masked gangs without police help.

Point for the Islamic community. Would the Amish have had that sort of backbone?

Did they bring out the social workers, I mean cops, to try and understand the looters?

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.

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.
