London Anarchy

So there were 6,000 police on the streets yesterday and apparently they will have 16,000 out around the capital tonight. I hope some damage gets inflicted against these criminals before it spreads any further.
 


The other side of the situation, ordinary people getting on with it.

This photo is hilarious.

"Let's ride our bicycles to the store, politely wait in line, and take turns looting the store."

Then the guy on the left with has hands in his pockets, casually walking down the street like it is just another day.

Do you guys remember the Koreans' response to the 1992 Los Angeles riots?

From Wiki:

During the riots, many Koreans from throughout the area rushed to Koreatown, heeding a call put out on Korean-language radio stations for volunteer security guards. There was a lot of activity to protect the Korean businesses, especially in Koreatown. Many Koreans had weapons, including but not limited to: shotguns, AR-15s, semi-automatic AK-47-style rifles, and semi-automatic Uzis.


... and ...


One of the most iconic and controversial television images of the violence was a scene of two Korean merchants firing pistols repeatedly at roving looters. The New York Times said, "that the image seemed to speak of race war, and of vigilantes taking the law into their own hands." "I want to make it clear that we didn't open fire first," said David Joo, manager of the gun shop. "At that time, four police cars were there. Somebody started to shoot at us. The L.A.P.D. ran away in half a second. I never saw such a fast escape. I was pretty disappointed."

Defending the armed response of the Koreans, Mr. Rhyu said, "If it was your own business and your own property, would you be willing to trust it to someone else? We are glad the National Guard is here. They're good backup. But when our shops were burning we called the police every five minutes; no response.'


Ahhh, Koreans. Awesome people. Friendly, patient, charming, and fun-loving (I know a lot of 'em). But don't fuck with the businesses they've poured their lives into.
 
London, like Europe has changed dramatically the last 20 years

There are tides of immigrants that have come to France, Holland, England, etc. Unlike the US, which is basically all immigrants, Europe was originally a bunch of individual countries that fought like hell for their turf. So this immigration has sparked a lot of emotion on all sides of the issue.
 
People are calling for the army but I'm undecided whether it would be a good idea or not. Soliders aren't going to shoot rioters, so are they just going to stand around under a hail of bricks? Not going to look great having the army on the streets of London wither.

Not to mention that most troops are abroad - even the majority of the TA apparently.

They can use water cannons and rubber bullets; also people seem to respect the army more then the police so it might help. The damage needs to stop and these criminals need to be locked up I cant see this ending any time soon its spreading. I’m glad I’m way up north for once.

[FONT=&quot]Also what’s with the news saying “mixed races”? Then showing you photos of no white people…. Any one notice that? [/FONT]
 
send them to prison FOREVER, end of story. If they get arrested, they'd be released in less than a day.
 
Wallowing unemployed, lumpenproletarian youths, organised criminals and opportunists. Nothing more...
But proud for #LondonCleanup

This is fucked, the guy from the video that's been passed around is a Malaysian (I know where he lives), heading out to grab some food cuz he was fasting (muslim), although he look like a douchebag (jeans and sandals? and listen to k-pop wtf?), these guys that did that to him deserve to be murk.

The first group beat him up and left him with a broken jaw and teeth. and the second group/passer-bys helped him up and then took his wallet and a PSP.
