    Me saying that it doesn't give them the rights won't stop it unfortunately, this is what happens when our governments let us down.

    ...and when parents fail to raise their kids properly.

    More news on the now infamous pic of the woman who jumped from the window:
    Jamie Boxell, who runs the Gun Tavern in Croydon, said seven police officers screamed at the middle woman to jump from her burning flat after she was left behind in the evacuation.

    Mrs Boxell, aged 34 years said: "A guy broke into the building where this woman lives and set a sofa on fire with a lighter.

    "This was about 8pm and we were standing on the roof of the pub watching it all. The pub and surrounding premises were evacuated but then we heard this screaming and a woman was standing at the window.

    "They pulled the rugs from the shop next door to make a soft landing and there were seven officers shouting and screaming at her to jump. She did and they caught her. She then walked off, she was really shaken up.

    That's from the Telegraph. At least we know she walked away from that!

    Don't you think that the fact that this level of disturbance can happen in a so called 'caring society' that it shows that that 'caring society' is a con job? And who do you think the perpetrators of the myth of a 'caring society' are?
    I think the fact that most of these scum have been living off the state up till now shows how caring the society is. And the fact that they are not now being lined up against walls and shot also shows how caring the society is.

    So, will The Man use the riots are an reason to attack or limit private communication?

    One London MP has already asked the Blackberry to turn off their IM tool.

    Why do you say that? Would you tolerate that? Constantly being stopped and searched and constantly demeaned? Are you old enough to remember how that kind of activity kicked off riots in your own country?
    Try imagining what that is like over several generations in deprived communities.
    There are people in these communities that have been constantly warning about what was going to happen. They where ignored and now the whole capital is imperilled.

    Exactly. These were the things being done by the Black and Tans. People only take so much of it. Stop and search powers without good reason are ridiculous. These people are obviously going to hate the police.

    The victim on Friday, Mark Duggan, was apparently paranoid because his cousin was stabbed. How the f*ck did he expect the police to find out who is likely to carry a weapon and injure/ maim/ kill his friends or family unless they stop and search known troublemakers? Maybe they should just do nothing at all- bet he would have a fair few more close to him picked off by knife- wielding youths.

    With all due respect to the man who was (badly) interviewed by BBC, how would he know whether his grandson was a troublemaker or not? He doesn't know what he gets up to with his buddies- did you tell your nan what you would get up to? He would just know that teenagers comes home complaining of "racist" police officers doing these searches.

    Same thing as parents in my area when growing up would completely ignore their little darlings bullying thuggish ways until someone stood up to them, then they would be out screaming the odds.

    I'm just stunned more people aren't dead- it's only a matter of time until some innocent bystander gets their head kicked in or something. I still can't get my head around all of this- everywhere has their fair share of scumbags (Dublin most certainly does..) but for them to take over like this boggles the mind completely.

    Now that's unfair. She's learnt her lesson and now has to try and struggle with all her new gear. She's obviously having a hard enough time as it is. I'm sure she really wants to give all the stuff back.

    My heart goes out to you, you ****ing piece of ****

Says it all really, 'don't you dare try and analyse this...we demand your condemnations' when the establishment couldn't get their pound of flesh....accuse him of rioting :rolleyes: At the moment they are winning the PR war, the sheep are bleating for blood.

    Statements like this that make it clear that some folks don't have a great handle on the reality of the matter.

    Where will they move to, pray tell, and how? Should they expect different treatment when they get there, and why?

    It's quite simple, they are taking what society says they can't have, what society told their parents, they can't have.
    I'm only suprised that it has taken this long.
