    Imagine that...

    your having a laugh right? they are treated like scum because they act like scum.. it has nothing to do with their skin colour

    My Dad was treated like scum back in 70's/80's London because he
    was Irish.He did'nt riot with all his Irish pals he has respect.
    I'm not saying these scumbags are right to burn houses/shops but the British have failed them in a way.

    That's particularly ****. The man goes out of his way to help disadvantaged youths, even ones with criminal records.

    Riots don't happen in a vacuum though. There's a flash point that leads to widespread rioting and criminality but there are socio-economic conditions and tensions simmering away within the community that are the real cause of these problems. The same with the LA Riots and the Paris Riots. All these riots show is that nothing has really changed in the last 30 years for a lot of people in London...

    How are these problems solved? Fück knows but they will keep on happening…
    You have a point but as with other sections of communities where there is much or equal discontent - others don't go wrecking their own streets and shops.
    Most peacefully protest, take to the streets in real organised marches - and rightly so.

    I may be wrong but its my opinion that there is no excuse whatsoever to justify what on last night in London. No excuse whatsoever. That wasn't a protest or a pot boiling over last night - that was thugs making and then using an opportunity to steal and terrorise residents.

    Hopefully any fatalities will be self inflicted among scumbags and occur accounts of Darwinism. :p

    BBC reporting that the bloke shot in Croydon yesterday's just died. Depends whether you include that or not I suppose, as there's no mention of him being involved in the riots or attacked by those who were.

    Seen the thugs smashing up a car last night, one of them threw a lump of timber a cars window, bounced off it and smack on of he's pals, brilliant i thought, then they went on to set the car on fire, after a many failed attempts, i was so hoping one of them would have caught fire too.

    You post in bold and don't link your source as though you are some credible news source, despite the fact that about 6 people posted it before you saying that it is being reported on BBC and sky??

    His Mother Pamela Duggan
    Pamela Duggan said race may have been a factor in the death. "They [the police] killed my son. I'm not saying murder ... I don't know what it is. Apparently it was wrote [sic] somewhere that he was being watched ... He's black and you know what that means," she said.

    Yeah, all 20 of them ( I jest). We don't have enough police here as it is, we can't afford to send any away.

    If that's true his mother needs to be told to have a cup of STFU.
