Hearing reports of lookouts communicating with those rioting. If lookouts, or scouts are deployed, these is no effective means to corral these thugs without shutting down their communications. I realize your concerns for the innocent but without communications the choppers, in the air, can direct a counter attack ... the other choice, the one currently being employed allows for maximum damage via torching buildings and emboldens the thugs on the street ... imho

They are Anarchists. Soon the people will beg to be saved and that leads to a dictatorship.

Thing to do is find the leaders...and there are leaders in this. Then hang them.

“Gonna be another matter here. I hope the undertakers have enough coffins in stock.”

Let’s just pray we get the present administration, and its thugs, out of Washington before the fuse hits the powder here. If not, anyone trying to defend themselves or their property will be summarily arrested for violating someones civil rights.

Not me. Every gun I had was stolen a while back. I sure hope they catch the person who did it! Maybe my dog ate them. Oh wait.. They were carried away in a flood. That’s it. No guns here!

2349: Norman Smith Chief political correspondent, BBC Radio 4

Labour leader Ed Miliband is returning early from his holiday in Devon because of the riots. He is due back in London on Tuesday morning.

Well, this is more than I would expect from our leader.
FORE!

No, that’s well in the city centre. I’m out in the suburbs. Highly, highly unlikely the rioting will come this far. For a start the only ethnic minorities are the lovely Beegum family up the road and they only bought us down some freshly baked onion bhajis last night!

Shotguns are a good self defense choice. What kind do you have?

2322:

Former London mayor and future mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone tells the BBC that the anger is fuelled by disengagement.

“There is a level of despair out there. We have got to have a government that speaks to the whole community, not just the layer at the top.”

Well, that says it all. He also said that the thugs aren’t responsible for the way things are. They (the thugs) see the bankers collecting their bonuses and they (the thugs) don’t have a job.

Words fail me.

Some confiscated mobile phones would provide a good deal of intel and aid in combating this.

Shocking how wide spread this is. Happening throughout London and its suburbs. Here in the States when it happens you could measure the ares by blocks not miles.

Just an old double-barreled effort handed down from when my Dad used to live on the farm. Still works though!

The wimp police and security in London should be ashamed for letting these vermin survive. Every street with looters and vandals should
have pools of blood with a bled out POS in the middle of it.

They are reaping what they allowed to grow.

Unbelievable. In many of those shops they are looting and burning, people live on the floors above the shop.
