It appears bats are a hot ticket item in the UK...

Sales are up 6541%

Cuts looters off at the knees
This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property.

Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.

call upon amazon.co.uk to ban this item temporarily as it is obviously currently abused as a cheap, quick weapon to be used in the london riots. ban it now!

I believe the UK uses a comma instead of a decimal point, so 13,000% is 13%.

Cricket bats are better and at the local sports store.

Bet overnight shipping is way up, too!

Some London Looters Are Tweeting Pictures of Their Loot

Which is why riots like that will never happen here, especially in red states. Won’t need to be ordering any baseball bats off of Amazon.

The UK needs “yob control”, not gun control...

Kubotan now up FIFTY THOUSAND PERCENT..!!

OMG what a macabre lesson.

I’d bet that making a bolt action bat wouldn’t be too difficult. Avengers indeed.

Suddenly “rounders” has become much more popular

A Louisville Slugger rammed up a miscreant’s backside to the label is a powerful statement.

It's bloody civil war over there. Now this is only if you can't get police.

I can think of some better weapons than that I can improvise right here at home. But if I had to use a bat, I'd wind it with tape with staples and roofing nails sticking to the outside. Guess they can't improvise a bayonet on the end, too pointy.

I'd use my pump sprayer and hit them in those hoodies with full-strength Liquid Fence. Organic and stinks like hell. If they still want to mess with me, I've got worse stuff I could put in it.

I can think of other things I've got right around the house. But the problem that confounds me is how to protect my home from being firebombed if it comes to that.

Send the Baseball Furies over there

To the contrary, Amazon should offer free same-day / overnight shipping as a public service.
