So these riots are what? Angry Socialists? Angry Muslims? Fed up taxpayers?

I’ve read several stories, all conflicting and confused.

The press is so sucked up its own rear end with Political Correctness, it’s hard to tell what exactly is going on over there.

What people don’t realize is the number of young white anarchists involved in this. Look at the photos.

The blacks may have started it, but the problem is that the radical left is out there egging it on and taking advantage of it.

The reason I think this is important is that the left would do exactly the same thing here if Obama manages to stir up rioting in the black areas. In fact, they already have, during the Oakland riots over the acquittal of a police officer this spring.

The left is looking for a way to destabilize and destroy the West, and these riots by black criminals have given them the opening they want.

Sure wish they did have guns so things would get tacky.

I have heard they are black, which is code Muslim

I haven’t heard a word about this all day, but I can’t say I was glued to the media today. The seemingly endless list of trouble spots points to an obviously organized, concerted series of a new kind of ‘flash mob’. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a phenomenon like this before: that there is trouble in so many places makes it look like an attempt to overtax and confuse law enforcement, and probably create more and different kinds of chaos in one spot in order to draw those hardnosed Brit police away from one site into another. FINALLY, British LE may be revealed for what it really is: living in a fantasy world.

In every city.

Folks, you must have a plan for how to survive this. The emergency services will not be able to help you in anyway. They will be busy making sure hospitals, armories and absolutely critical infrastructure are not destroyed.

The National Guard takes time to mobilize if even called up.

You simply do not want to be anywhere near a city when our “London” or “Paris” happens.

Usually in Britain, Muslim = "Asian."

Blacks are Caribbean.

The blacks are mostly Jamaicans or people from other formerly British possessions that had a large enslaved African population.

Muslim groups (Pakistanis, for example) are usually referred to as “Asians” in England.

Wow. Very scary. I have only been to London twice and I don’t know these areas, but they looked sort of normal (not like howling slums) and some of them that I saw in other photos looked quite nice.

I’d say the composition of the rioters/looters is mostly black, some Middle Eastern/Pakistani, and young, white radical leftists - although there was one guy I thought looked like a soccer hooligan, but maybe he came out to defend his turf.

Here is the bid mistake the police are making. When one of them come out of the group to chuck something by himself or with another, you snatch him and give him a good beating right in front of the rest. A beating good enough that it splits his head so the blood runs. Then you rush the mob and get into them flailing away with clubs till they run. When they run you single out as many as you can and give them the same as above. You keep moving forward always forward doing the same until they give up.

Very soon, when they see that if they come out to attack, that they will be taken and will take to their heels. If they rush you, you envelope them and crowd them in tight. Lots of zip ties and use their hoods and pull their hoods/face masks up over their eyes/heads.

No, ‘black’ means West indies, the Caribbean. ‘Asians’ is used for muslims.
