    Hopefully the police getting heavy handed sooner rather than later, and also, all the shops close to the scumbags abodes will have no more stuff to rob, so they might just not bother

    Where is the tear gas? The armed police force? What is the reason for not having them on the streets?

    Genuine question here.

    Why haven't they sent in the army? Would that not help a hell of a lot?

    Thankfully they are well equipped to deal with them up there.

    If it were to kick off in Ireland, we would have some forewarning of the riots scale also, and maybe quash it sooner.

    According to some reports, as least by the use of Blackberry's for some reason.

    Tuesday Times (England)

    * BlackBerrys were used as riot’s recruiting sergeants
    What began as a small, dignified demonstration outside a police station turned within 48 hours into a looting and rioting spree across the capital involving thousands of youths. Police investigating the extraordinary escalation of London’s disorder now believe that the BlackBerry mobile phone played a vital role.

    A private, instant messaging service on the BlackBerry network which enables free, virtually instantaneous access to other owners has been used to fuel and spread the riots since Saturday.

    Users of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), which has replaced text messaging among young people, have posted messages inciting violence and identifying meeting points for future uprisings.

    As messages can be passed to hundreds of users in minutes, the technology appeared to have been used to reach disparate groups of youths across the capital. Police have said that much of the violence was planned using social networking sites and BBM, although many of the messages are unverified. While detectives have vowed to track down those who incite violence on the internet, BBM messages are encrypted and cannot be easily traced by the authorities.

    One youth worker told The Times: “People have been talking on BBM all day deciding where they’d go next. They said Peckham would take the next hit. The stuff in Brixton, people used BBM to organise where to meet.”

    Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police sparked the initial disturbances on Saturday night used BBM to send a final message to his girlfriend. He wrote: “The Feds are following me.”

    After Saturday’s unrest at Tottenham, one widely circulated BBM message read: “Everyone in edmanton enfield wood green everywhere in north link up at enfield town station at 4 o clock sharp!!!”The maker of BlackBerry, Research in Motion (RIM), indicated last night that it would co-operate with police investigations into users of the service. A spokesman said: “We have engaged with the authorities to assist in any way we can.” Users intent on disorder appeared last night to be changing tactics in order to avoid detection. One BBM message was circulated which warned people to get off the network.

    Meanwhile, Twitter users who have used the internet site to incite violence will be prosecuted, the Metropolitan Police warned yesterday.

    Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh said police were trawling the website, and other social networking sites, to identify users who may have encouraged unrest.

    On Saturday numerous users posted messages that encouraged the violence in Tottenham. One, calling himself @English Frank, posted: “Everyone up and roll to Tottenham f*** the 5-0 (police). I hope 1 dead tonight.”

    The Independent yesterday sacked its blogger, Jody McIntyre, for instructing his 9,000 followers on Twitter to spread the riots across the capital.

    Mr McIntyre, who was removed by police from his wheelchair during demonstrations in London last year, wrote: “Be inspired by the scenes in #tottenham, and rise up in your neighbourhood. 100 people in every area = the way we can beat the feds.”

    On Sunday evening, various users posted photographs of shops being smashed, claiming that they were in Brixton. In fact, they were images from the previous night’s rioting in Tottenham.

    Lewisham seems quite a nice well to do area
    Lots of nice houses and parks and trees

    Looked a fine area compared to Hackney or Peckham
    I don't realy know London, just going on what I see on the news

    So I suppose it can happen anywhere, it's people that make an area, not facilities or lovely housing
