    Guy on the TV now- the problem is with the criminal justice system is there is no space in prison to put all these rioters when are found guilty, and they know they can easily get away with it... (or words to that effect)

    Maybe if they stopped locking people up for petty drugs offences!!

    No, but it sure threw him off.

    Riots in Croyden today too. Been there.

    Now they're telling everyone to stay indoors. Is London on lockdown now?

    Parents are supposed to check on their children.

    While I don't endorse the violence, esp. any against people, it is good to see how the Power of the People puts some fear into the gov't.

    I was wondering how long it would take before flash mobs turned into flash riots.

    I just find it astonishing that the police can't handle a small group of youths throwing bricks at them..

    They've got riot gear, riot vans, dogs... surely they can do something. They're just standing watching them while they trash shops and burn cars!

    You realize that if this was the USA, dozens would be dead already. The police would be armed to the teeth and enjoying using their weapons. Of course, then again, those the police would be shooting at, would probably be shooting back!

    MLG: lol no, I turned it up to see if I could but didn't catch it.

    I can't wait for nightfall! Hopefully they'll take it to the houses of parliament or something like that! Surely there must be some activists with gumption already heading to the homes of politicians and "public" buildings?

    Yeah, that's why I mentioned the lack of injuries. Us English are so civilised, even in riots! There were clips of looters QUEUING UP to loot!!! LOL You've got to love the English mentality sometimes.

    It's a classic military situation, David and Goliath, if you will. You turn up with all your heavy armour and big old stomping boots, weighing you down. Some people in trainers throw a load of shit at you and you charge forward... Weighed down by all your riot gear, the much lighter youths in trainers can easily outrun you in terms of speed and distance, so they do. And then they keep chucking shit at you. LMAO

    I was just thinking that I'd be surprised if there aren't a few more deaths before the end of it, when and wherever it will end..

    I reckon they are going to bring the army in.

    YEAH KEN LIVINGSTONE STICKING IT TO THE MAN AND KEEPING IT REAL!!!

    You da man, Ken! He seems to be the only person to have appeared on the news that actually has clue, that actuallly has some sense of being in touch with those involved!!

    Glad that dumb bitch Diana whatever is being drowned out by a helicoptor. She never says shit of worth whenever she goes on the TV.

    Yeah just listening to him now.

    I remember them saying on the news that people were warning about this last year, the current economic climate could give rise to civil unrest.

    Nice one BBc, keep rebroadcasting Theresa May over and over again, that's going to calm people down!

    Bitches like her would be better off keeping their mouths shut. Don't they realise that every time they open their stupid mouths they just cause more anger?

    Caught something like "Can't you keep control of your city, mate?" On the rebroadcast. Definitely said "control of your city mate" as the last words in the first phrase he shouted.

    OMG LOOK HOW MANY FIRES ARE BEING SET

    There are more and more pictures coming out like this.

    If this started as a small race riot, it has grown into a standard riot. Young and awake vs. the system + the nobodies!

    Earlier reports stated that Pembury estate was blocked off by rioters and becoming "taken over" by them. Some more recent reports talking of police officers and fortified police vehicles being driven out by rioters or outright fleeing.

    Yippy Kai Ay mother fuckers!!
    AND THIS JUST SAYS IT ALL

    Yeah, looking forward to when they introduce martial law.

    I wonder how far it will spread before that happens?
