Alan McCabe, pub manager in Crodyon: "Area is an absolute war zone"

Violence ha broken out for a third consecutive day in London, with riot police deployed and firefighters tackling blazes across the capital.

Cars were set on fire in Lewisham and a bus and shop were set ablaze in Pekcham. A large furniture shop in Croydon is also well alight.

In Hackney, police sealed off an area after police car windows were smashed.

The prime minister is returning early from holiday to chair a meeting of the government's emergency committee Cobra....

Either shoot a few early on or they will have to shoot a whole lot more later. Either way, blood must be shown to
the feral pigs that are feeding at the looting trough.

The majority of rioters are young men and women from the Afro-Caribbean community.

The Guardian (no less) has a report on how Blackberry Messenger was used to organize the anti-white riots in Tottenham, complete with quotes.

Here is an example:

“Everyone from all sides of London meet up at the heart of London (central) OXFORD CIRCUS!!, Bare SHOPS are gonna get smashed up so come get some (free stuff!!!) f*ck the feds we will send them back with OUR riot! >:O Dead the ends and colour war for now so if you see a brother … SALUT! if you see a fed … SHOOT!”

The rise of social media probably means we are in for a steady future diet of this kind of disorder. Blackberry Messenger is apparently the most popular service among young blacks in England.

“Theresa May keeps repeating over and over again that there is no excuse for violence.”

*ahem “ex·cus·e. 1. a. To explain...in the hope of being forgiven or understood”

Who needs to be forgive or understood. They started it, police need to just ‘stop’ it.

They should explain that to Theresa May, whoever that is.

To bring in the army they’ll have to pull back in Libya and Afghanistan.

I don’t know who she is either but they’ve got her on a video on the posted website and she’s very miffed about all the violence and keeps saying over and over again that we have to be very, very clear about it that there’s no excuse for violence.

I’ve got news for little Miss Theresa:

Clarity grows out of the barrel of a gun.

For these dangerous and divisive elements the legislation proposed in the Race Relations Bill is the very pabulum they need to flourish. Here is the means of showing that the immigrant communities can organize to consolidate their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens, and to overawe and dominate the rest with the legal weapons which the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided. As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding.

Like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood'. That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century.

Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

"Either shoot a few early on or they will have to shoot a whole lot more later. Either way, blood must be shown to the feral pigs that are feeding at the looting trough."

Or in modern Britain's case, hope the rioters and looters wear themselves out and run out of opportunities to burn and steal.

I don’t think we’ll be waiting for the Army.

Remember the Koreans on the roof during the LA riots?

If you look at the photos, you will see that a lot of the looters are stringy-haired bandanna-wearing white anarchists, come to enjoy the fun. Their American counterparts joined in with the black rioters in Oakland a few months ago; this seems to be the new pattern. It starts with blacks and then then white lefties come from everywhere and join in for the looting and random destruction.

England (and Europe in general) is full of them. They live on welfare or student benefits and emerge only to riot and destroy.

I agree, this is extraordinary. I'm surprised there isn't more torching going on as they loot. Perhaps petrol cost too much?

Among the most durable and dispiriting images of that era, however, were those of Korean merchants taking to their rooftops in the opening hours of the riots, arming themselves because they were convinced that they were alone, that the LAPD would not be there for them. They were right.

Shouldn’t be a shotgun and a rifle instead of two rifles?

I've got four 12 gauges, one 10 gauge, a 16 and two 20s; A couple of 30-06, 30-30s, 22s and a 7mm.

Pistols in all sizes and calibers but my favorite is an S & W 357 mag. and in a pinch it can shoot 38 caliber bullets.

Opps, the boat just sunk in the lake and they are all gone.
