    But why dont they stay where they have charged to?


    They seem to want to prevent the scene widening. Keep the damage local to that area already damaged.

    19.38 A passionate condemnation of the violence by Duwayne Brooks, a Lib Dem councillor and the best friend of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.
    If I see anyone looting in #lewisham and I know you I'm bringing the police to your door. I don't care who you think you are.

    Those setting the car on fire and jumping on it are so cool and the victims of harsh police tactics.

    They should all be smashed in the face with some batons.

    Dunno why the Police don't smash their heads in, not like the people in question will notice much of a difference.

    What does being kettled mean? :confused:

    I means that they are trying to surround the trouble-makers from all directions, move in closer in a circle (roughly) formation and trap the trouble makers in the center, as they move inwards.
    It can also mean they they are trapping any number of small groups and keeping them separate cordoned off from escaping and joining other amassed groups.
    I think they are presently organising to do the latter and not the former.

    I wonder how Indymedia are going to spin this one

    Don't think I'll read it as I already know the answer and it'll only make me angry

    One fallout from all this could well be the end of Blackberry messenger as its currently set up. It seems that its untraceable nature has been used widely to set up these riots and robberies.

    Plenty of parks and greenery.

    Roads and paths in top class condition.

    A lot of shops and good transport links.

    It's not Utopian, but it's a hell of a lot nicer then Parisien Banlieues or the Projects in Major US Cities.

    It's the people who live there that make it a kip.

    Would you go arrrest a that has a gun with a baton in your hand? Assumign the non police gun that was there was his, then I've no sympathy for him. You carry a gun, your expectign some sort of gun related issues, be it from the police or other scumbags. He knew full well if he can accross police that knew he had a gun it wasnt going to end well.

    All the crying relatives and "he was such a good man" comments int he world dont turn a scumbag in to a nice bloke.

    Could they not drop tear gas from the police helicopters

    LOL. So what happens when the tear gas starts to drift towards the police lines? What happens to the innocenr people who will inevitably become trapped in their homes?

    Can't believe the cops aren't steaming into those scumbags.

    Screw all that 'heavy handed policing' BS.

    Felt so sorry for the youth worker from Peckham that they interviewed. Said she felt ashamed to be associated with the youth of the area:(

    I can't help but think of this song when watching the riots on the news. Professor Green is from Hackney.
