riots in London

[liam2me]

Anyone watching the news? It's all kicking off, loads of police vehicles on fire, bus burnt out and more vehicles on fire. All because the cops killed some scumbag who shot at them. If you carry a gun in London you're likely to get shot,
If you shoot at police, you deserve everything you get. Some serious scum on the streets tonight.

 

[yera yeah boy]

Get in there liam, tell us what's going down.

Police officers in hospital, dozens of vehicles and buildings on fire, reports of other riots in areas with high black population. All thinking its ok to shoot at police and get away with it.

If you are Brazilian in London you are likely to get shot. If you are a newspaper vendor you are likely to get beaten down by the fuzz and die.

Jesus watching it on sky news here now it looks mental. Innocent people don't carry sidearms..hope the police officers are ok.

Well said msGod, reports its kicking off in Peckham, Brixton and Croydon too.

Are you far from there Liam? What's the general feeling like there?

Was reading on the Daily Mail how some of the rioters attacked a McDonalds and started cooking burgers and fries.

I'm at work so fairly isolated from it all. What I have noticed is there's fuck all police activity here (which is rare to say the least) as they've all been redirected to the trouble spots. Apparently there's an entire shopping estate that's been looted clean but the police are so busy stopping the riots that they just can't stop the looting

I can't even imagine being in the middle of something of that scale. It's unbelievable watching it.
