Cops should be given a 30 min crash course in guns and give all of them rubber bullet guns, go fvcking hog on these rioters. Every single one of them, shooting gallery. Cut off sections of rioters with a convoy of cops and tell them anybody not lying down is a target, then arrest everybody lying down.

This, just bring it back at them at 10x the intensity; same way you manage a prison riot. Anyone not face down on the ground gets a 12 rubber slugs.
 
Bet UK citizens wish they were armed now.

This is the shocking moment a young man is apparently forced to hand over all of his clothes after appearing to be stripped naked during lawless riots overnight.

Internet rumours last night claimed that on top of the widespread destruction across London and Birmingham, people were having their clothes removed by looters as police attempted to contain the criminality.

I was lied to?

Actually quite the opposite, there would be a lot of dead criminals if innocent people had firearms. That's WHY they are getting away with their behavior, there's nothing to stop them, no consequences to their behavior.

Remember when I keep saying the haves and have nots will war? This is what it will look like folks, make sure you're prepared for it. Look no further than Philly here in the states to get a taste of what it will be.

Not saying there is no racism in the UK but how does that post suggest that there is?

There's a lot of white people rioting as well, just because the people he overheard were black doesn't make it a racial thing.

Are innocent people immune to gunshot wounds then?

I'm pretty certain that if there were more guns in London then there would be more people getting shot and as the bad guys don't usually wait for a reason before shooting then there would be more innocent people who got shot.

Little known fact, bullets only hurt you if you have done something bad. The flesh of the pure is impervious to their metal casings.
 
Relax London, there's enough fish and chips for everyone! no need to get all Gaza strip on everyone...

So there'd be a lot of dead people, including innocent people, 1 person died last night, if there were guns involved that number would be closer to 100.
 
LOL! Aluminum bat sales jump 6,000% in UK.

Lulzy comments are lulz,
This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property.

Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.

And for even more UK stupidity, brits seem to be calling for Amazon to not ship the bats. This is the mind of a britard - better to completely eliminate any means of self defense because then that would give attackers something to attack with! But what if the attacker is attacking, rioting, looting anyway? "Then the government should do something to make us safe!" Yeah, how's that working out for ya now?

Even if they are being bought by respectable home and business owners, they should be banned from sale temporarily. Vigilantism is not the answer. Get these items off the shelves, we are all scared and angry in London and need to know that measures are being taken to help us to feel safe in our Cities again.

That's certainly a sound argument. Besides, shouldn't the innocent bystanders stay the f' away from the violence here? Innocent people don't belong in a war zone.
 
Wasn't there already an innocent person shot and killed by rioters? I could have swore I saw that some where.... time to go digging.

Well its nice to see how your mind works.

Random comment on Amazon =Brits calling for something.

Sometimes you cloud at least try not to twist every news event to fit your weird agenda.

Yeah there was, and considering the scope and areas encompassed by the rioting its amazing that theres been that few.

I keep reading more articles about how brits are outraged that the police haven't been able to keep them safe. So, how's that inability to defend yourself or property working out for you? Remember, the police are there to save you and make you feel safe in your city!

Bullocks!

Take your pacifier and lay back down. You keep squirming like that and you are going to get hurt by the machinery of big government that is rolling all around you. We are doing this for your own good!

I don't agree with you often Spidey, but you are right this time. This is class war, the have-nots have so little that it is worth the risk to hurt the haves and maybe grab a little of what they have for themselves. This sort of thing is just going to continue to get worse.

Oh, I imagine that they will calm this outbreak of anarchy in another day or two by applying enough force that the disaffected become afraid of the machine again. But it will just build up again, and next time it will take even more force to calm them back down.

We are heading to another major change in the world. The people are feeling the weight of the chains of corporate oppression, and like the chains of monarchy before them, they are starting to chaff. Everything is happening faster now, soon we will have another round of world revolutions.
