    I assume plenty of plastic/rubber bullets were used last night.

    Seemingly not,mores the pity.Scumbag gun carrying drug dealer gets shot and the rioting starts,these people have seriously fucked up priorities.
    It's not as if an upstanding pillar of the community was shot.We didn't see violent reactions when kids were stabbed on an almost daily basis in parts of London but if a police officer is confronted by a guy with a gun and does his job these scum feel the need to go on the rampage as some kind of moral crusade against the authorities.

    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.

    I was referring to the new sections of our population, who could, no doubt, feel they are discriminated by society and act in this way. Its the way things are going in this Country I feel.

    Ireland isn't London.

    We've only recently become a larger multicultural country - (vast influx over the past few years) whereas the UK has been so for a lot longer. Already there is tension, and I can see it getting worse.

    I don't know why people think this is a race riot. Look at the photos. There's black, white, Indians and all races rioting together.

    If only society was as racially harmonious as these riots.

    Agreed. What a fine example of an integrated community.

    There was no rioting in Japan

    Burning buses and looting shops

    So what's the difference?

    Well theres imagined tension, a lot of it seemingly from doom sayers who take a look at one place and - seemingly without logical thought - say 'thats here in 20 years'.

    You sound like you're simply using this event to forward your own immigrant bashing agenda in your backgarden by not-so-subtly implying that dem foridners will be the cause of all of this in Ireland.

    In 20 years.

    Familiar.

    Interesting.

    Sick to the stomach listening to those so called community workers on the news. The bottom line is you have a culture of people who are making a very good living dealing drugs, mugging, etc. The next generation of kids see that as a career goal.

    They're not disadvantaged. Education in Uk is completely free ffs! Books are provide at school. An unlimited amount of FREE after school actvities are provided. You don't have to worry about your kids getting sick or their teeth rotting as healthcare is free too.

    Anyone has a good chance of walking into a job when they leave school if they were bothered. But they think the pay is beneath them as they can get more via criminal activity.

    My solution...... Give em all guns, give em all knives and lock them in one of their free, state of the art leisure centres and take target practice on each other

    The mentality of this always baffles me.
    "Some gangster got shot, let's go destroy our neighbourhood and then complain about our bad environment..."

    I see the same pattern in France and Scandinavia in the ghettos.
    There's a reason you don't see flowerpots on the doorsteps of houses in these areas. It's not because they are poor but because they are destructive and trash everything around them.

    Does nobody wonder why this sort of thing virtually always happens in poor areas? Do you think it's because poor people just happen to be more violent then the rich? Maybe the things that make them poor are related to those that make them feel the need to act out like this.

    Being poor or underprivilaged doesn`t make you behave like scum, there are areas of Tottenham that are downright dangerous day or night with gangs of feral kids running riot.
