    heard a suggestion some "anarchists" were involved but I can't imagine your classic more intelligent indigenous anarcho punks were wasting their time orchestrating any of these grunts. they tend to save it for something more global and significant. I hope some of those lads can find their way back to tottenham from Enfield, furthest they've ever been from home I'd imagine.. were those nikes really worth it?!

    Goddamn so many kinder surprises on show :/ screee.. Think I saw j-roc!

    Do they have to? Perhaps they have a very low opinion and high suspicion of the Met? Maybe it's people exploiting anger over the police's non-response to their protest to vent from their own experience. It's not beyond the realms of probability especially with the track record of that particular police force as mentioned by iguana.



    Yeah , I suppose a free telly will sort all their police related issues.:rolleyes:

    Certainly easier than presuming the police were right, like many many people have decided in this thread without any knowledge.

    Its ok to comdenm the police outright without any evidence, but not to defend them? Strange logic that.

    Are these not the elderly people that are supposedly so respected in Japan that teach the younger generation respect and whatnot?

    I'm not saying this is 100% a bad thing... but the looters & their peers will pay for all that stuff over the coming years.
    Less of a reason for the police to give a rats ass about trouble there. I can see the area going down the tube a bit quicker after the riots.

    Well my original point was that the vast majority of people are ok with condemning the rioters and not defending them, which is just as strange a logic. It's not ok either way. The police were right, as taytolover said, the person deserved it and we should all go crack skulls. Apparently.

    Without any evidence either way - taytolover excepted obviously, who knew the victim and saw the shooting.

    What is strange about condemning people who are throwing missiles and looting and setting fire to people's homes and business'?

    Scree..

    Just a wholly degenerate culture. These skangers genuinely let music influence their life too much. these are people for whom lyrics of robbing and gangbanging are their only inspiration in the event of no musicianship. and robbed this raditionally world renowned rock nation of many a potential talent


    btw didn't rap meet rave ultimately? Like-minds. Heard a top-40 for first time in a decades today, sounded like techno with vocoded white rap pounding metronome it was maddening, It's **** 'd, Just one big playground now. never thought I'd say this but feargal sharkey, SOS!!

    When a certain section of our populace felt they were discriminated against by society and the police, they started a world wide "terrorist" campaign that went on for 30 or so years. You may have missed this when you were reading tea leaves to see the future.
    The folks who were just rioting and acting the maggot last night did not have the paras set on them like a certain section did in the 70's.

    They certainly aren't saints but the do have a high degree of civic pride and respect for society.

    Many if not most of the Japanese are as hard as nails. If anything gets out of hand in japan, they would shot them dead. They sentance people to death so does China but on a much smaller scale. serious human rights issues.

    You might need to ring Sky News, they seem to have edited white people in to the videos by mistake.
