These riots would have ended about 10 minutes after they started if I were in charge. The police would have arrived, shot the looters on sight, and went home for a beer.
I feel sorry for the law abiding subjects of the crown who had all their personal weapons taken from them in the UK. Now they cant defend themselves, the police can’t or won’t respond, and they are at the mercy of these creeps.
Australia and the UK need to allow their citizens the right to arm and defend themselves and their property!
I’m sorry, blaming the police is moronic. They only are allowed to do what they’re told and allowed to do. The fault runs much, much higher.
That's what the Wisconsin criminals were doing too. They weren't angry protesters, they were having a good time beating up white people. Those liberal stories we hear about these people being upset about not having jobs is pure bull.
It's time to cut off ALL welfare, 'programs', etc to these folks...
They’re terrorists, and should be treated thusly.
What is the point of spending taxpayer money on police if they can't protect people from lawlessness...?

Sorry, I just felt that needed to be repeated a few more times.

In the United States, our law enforcement officials are not to be trifled with. If you operate outside the law, they will eventually bring you down hard. Sure, there are abuses that we must keep in check. But by and large, our police officers are committed to public safety and protection of property. And we arm them accordingly.
The British bobbies with their silly nightsticks have always been a joke and now the British citizens are paying the price. Let's hope that never happens over here.
The police miost certainly did NOT let the UK down; the UK let the UK down.
If you allow insane levels of immigration of those who state openly they have no intention whatsoever of assimilating into society, then send officers out into a mob with nothing but their d*cks in their hands, you’ve got no right to complain if you get large riots and the police can’t manage to quell them.
If we want to point finger, then point the finger at the British people, themselves.
And save a finger or two for us, the American people, since we’re encouraging unbridled immigration, too.
Well, not really. The police are there, in Britain, to confiscate any defensive weapons the citizenry might be found with. That, and to fill out paper work after the fact ... any fact.

Can’t any of these ineffectual pols take vacations in their own backyards? Boris in Canada, for God’s sake! And Cameron in Chiantishire. How about Cornwall, guys? The Lake District? The Yorkshire Dales? Blackpool, even? Or one of those truly awful holidays where you spend most of your time at the great national theatres of London, Convent Garden or the West End?
Even our own goofy president vacations in Martha’s Vineyard and George Bush never left his ranch in Texas. At least American pols know it looks best to hang around the States during August.
