I hate how certain types see this kind of thing as an opportunity to loot shops. That has nothing to do with the shooting and the death of a young man, they're just scum.

Whilst it's fair to take aim at those opportunist criminals, it's also important to remember that it is the result of socio-economic condition.

I don't fully understand what that means so I'm going to continue with my ill-educated finger-pointing:

 

I don't have a telly either but I wouldn't go and rob one just because the opportunity rises. They should all get jobs, stop smoking drugs (because they probably were at the time) and generally pull their socks up

[Unrighteous]

Well that's what they are saying. I heard he was a cab driver ? Also the bullet he was meant to have fired hit a police guys radio ? fuck off more they shot him 2 times and fired a gun into their own radio and planted a weapon on him.

 

Btw this isn't what I really think, Or is it ? Bit pissed atm, can't decided....

 

What the fuck? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! Get a grip.

Pretty much sums it up.

[Red Phoenix]

No disrespect to any dead or injured, but those fires will be a bastard to put out with those used brown envelopes scattered all over the place.

As per usual, any fucking excuse by fucking yobs to cause carnage.

 

Police useless cunts as usual.

 

The repairing of damage should come out of the police budget.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

They should all get jobs

 

Unemployment in Tottenham has risen to an all time high. Apparently, there's 54 people going for every job. The same thing is happening in other parts of London. The situation is starting to bubble, if not totally boil over.

Some 'trific rioting last nigh..

Yes, because they're rioting. Obviously.

I watched a report on Sky News a few days ago that reportedly one million young people are getting dismayed about not being able to get a job.

 

You can easily multiply that figure easily by 5 or a lot more.

 

It's fucking grim out there at the moment and is only gonna get worse.

[J-V]

Police hands are tied by the pussies who run this country. Just send the army and shoot any hood rat looting/torching buildings. Clean the streets and save money on benefits

The police gave them the excuse they needed to riot.

 

As with the student riots, there was fuck all planning and non-existent police intelligence. Even Stevie Wonder could see it was gonna kick off.

 

Most of these shops that have been completely desecrated, are small businesses and families that live above these. Nothing like the shit that went down in central London.

[Paulie Dangerously]

"Society's to blame guv'nor, I is a victim of the system and that's I smashed the shop window and stole stuff"

 

Sorry, maybe I've had too privileged an upbringing in the quaint, tree laden, crime free suburbia of Walton but I just can't get behind the whole "excuse crime at all costs" thing.

Let me get this straight. The police got fired upon, and returned fire... and yet, they gave them the excuse they needed to riot?

 

No, being shithouse cunts with Biscan's shithouse aids was all that was necessary for a riot. You can't blame the police for a riot, but you can blame the police for improper response to a riot.

[silverlining]

I don't understand this at all.

 

Police shoot some crack-dealing inner-city slum hood, who, like most of them, was armed.

 

So? Shoot some more of the fucking cunts. Then watch as they burn and loot their own slum.

[redsoxs]

Thick as fucker them totts lads, since when as the 5th Aug been the 5th Nov?

[Redder Lurtz]

Duuuh. Dey shot ma mate innit, so I is gonna, laahke, smashup dis carpet-right shop innit.

 

Fucking pond life.

 

Thie is where I struggle with my views on the death penalty. Whilst I find it utterly abhorrent that a country systematically executes its own citizens, I'd have had absolutely no problem at all if the police had waded in with machine guns and rid the world of that fucking scum last night.

 

As for "repairs coming out of the police budget" - yeah, that'll solve everything won't it. Get back to your daily star, idiot.

David Lammy came across very well then on the beeb news channel.

[Section_31]

The Met police are fucking awful, just fucking awful. It was the same with the student protests, their policing tactics veer wildly from some mad-cap 'don't upset anyone and let them destroy things to' 'keep everyone together until they need a shit and let them dissipate gradually'.

[lifetime fan]

The right wing press will be doing everything they can to stop the publicity,as they did with the Bristol riots recently.

 

The tories are terrified of this being viewed as a rerun of 1981.

 

The Bristol 'riots' were a fucking joke mate, it had nothing to do with this tory government and juast as little to do with class.

[Antynwa]

This one goes out to my boys in Tottenham

I think the fear for people who live there is that this could cause wider unrest. London strikes me as a powder keg when it comes to gang culture and general teenage scum. It won't take much to drag them out of the stairwells and into the high street.

Couldn't agree more.

 

There is a fucking elephant in the living room which people are choosing to ignore in that large parts of society are completely disenfranchised from regular society. Hundreds of thousands of people in London alone, millions throughtout the country have no job, but worse still have no experience of work and little to no skills to offer an employer.

 

Of course you will get cunts taking advantage of this shooting in London (as you did with the so called riots in Bristol and the students) and they need to be dealt with accordingly. However, and it's a fucking big, however. Just viewing the situation as 'some cunts taking advantage' resolves nothing, increases frustration and a sense of hopelesness.

 

It also plays right into the hands of the right wing media to push for an even more right wing government.
