The wisdom of the Second Amandment continues to amaze me.
Send in the soccer thugs to clean this mess up!
The cops, I mean bobbies(sp?), are probably scared to death. They have no means to defend themselves.
I have a perfectly legally owned shotgun, actually
BBC reporting 225 arrests. At that rate this is going to embolden these thugs.
If Mr B&E’s head there disappeared ,I would bet they would disperse and go hide under their beds.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Where are your nuts you Brits? You lose them somewhere in the past hundred years?
I watched the cops in line being actually attacked and they simply took it and then backed up. YOU NEVER BACK UP! It gives the thugs courage and makes it worse. You get in there and beat the livin hell out of as many as you can beat.
Indeed, because it is happening in various different boroughs of London, the Met Police’s resources are stretched thin.
Main problem is it seems the rioters are using Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger to coordinate their activities. Telling fellow rioters where to go next, and also using it to warn rioters in other locations if they spot the police are moving to their location.
“Acting Met Police Commissioner Tim Godwin has said the force will be publishing photos and CCTV footage of those involved”
Ooooooohhhhh. That ought to do it!
Next thing you know the Commish will be having a press conference asking the thugs to please stop.
I’m in the US, of course, and don’t know the London neighborhoods, but reports keep saying that the looters have moved through several more upscale neighborhoods and shopping areas.
“I watched the cops in line being actually attacked and they simply took it and then backed up.”
Yea. I watched that too. The Brits have thrown in the towel!
Damned shame they’ve taken away the common man’s right to defend his property. I dread the coming storm on our side of the pond. It IS coming.
Hearing, according to reports, those taking pictures and video are being beaten and evidence being destroyed by these thugs. The riots are being organized on facebook, twitter, and other communication methods according to other reports. First shut down their communications, if any military available, send in the military and surround them, next crack their heads.
Yeah. Tottenham's in North London which has been downscale for years, but I was shocked to see Croydon listed. It's in far SW London and quite upscale. Sort of like Scarsdale is to NYC. Not far from Wimbledon.
Bobby to rioter: "Stop! Or the Met will run footage of you beating me to death on the telly."
I agree, somewhat. However, if you shut down the communications that would put decent people at a disadvantage. Imagine being in the middle of that and trying to call for help. With all the fires going on I would imagine there will be a death toll. May not ever hear of it though. Just like you’ll never hear any mention of the details of the thugs that are involved. Are they cranky Christians? Angry Amish? Jaded Jews? Pissed off Protestants?
I’m betting on something else.
Where’s the military with the automatic weapons?
“Wheres the military with the automatic weapons?”
Do the Brits still have automatic weapons?
Now moved into Ealing, W. London. According to reporter, very affluent area. Let’s see if the head busting commences!
Gonna be another matter here. I hope the undertakers have enough coffins in stock.
You better lock and load partner! I just heard a police dept. is on fire on Holyhead Rd.?? Close to you?
“Unmanned police station in Handworth is on fire”.
I guess all the bobbys are somewhere else.
