Some comments are calling for Amazon to temporarily suspend sales.

Stricter bat control laws!

Thanks, I learned something useful.

I prefer something a little more lethal.

Sales of baseballs are up 14x. I guess some people want to make it look like they're actually going to use the bat for sport.

Maybe the Seattle Mariners can send them their bats, it’s not like they’re using them anyway.

“Aluminium” is OK, but I prefer the satisfying crunch on bone that only Kentucky hickory can deliver....

A couple of years ago Britain passed a law to allow retired Gurkha to settle in England. I'd like to see the rioters give their neighborhood a try.

"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."

Those aren’t bats, they’re safety knives. To dull to cut yourself with, to blunt to be used in a stabbing.

I had never considered bolting a skilsaw blade to a ballbat. I guess about a 3-inch carriage? Pretty nasty.

How about a barb wire flail or spear!

or invite them in for coffee!

"Cricket bats are better and at the local sports store."

Half inch rebar about 15 inches long is almost impossible to beat, available at many construction junk piles.

Nothin’ beats a good ‘ol axe handle!

I agree! Even better with the axe head still on it!

[tacticalogic]

only Kentucky hickory

A good, straight-grained hardware store hickory pickaxe handle will do nicely.

Most hardware stores carry axe handles.

• less than $10
• easier to handle
• faster to 'reload' in a tense situation
• and no shipping !

I assume this is because guns are illegal for the common man?

What is the legal status of flame throwers in Britain?

Assuming a compressor:

“Some London Looters Are Tweeting Pictures of Their Loot”

And that fool showed his face in the photo. How stupid is that?! That criminal idiot needs to be picked up and tossed in jail. The very store owners they’re ripping off are common folk just like them. They’re hurting themselves.
