Maybe if they had guns instead of knives they might have been able to actually defend themselves. People in that country are so unbelievably stupid for allowing a criminal regime to take away their god given right to bear arms.... such a people deserve all the riots and looting they get. I just dont understand the mentality of victim disarmament zones.

how would a gun have prevented the car from ramming into the group of people?
 
It's about time international peacekeepers are brought in. They can maintain order and also arbitrate the dispute.

Is it just me or is their a growing trend toward anarchist sentiment in european and english youth. The just dont have any sense of order in a community. They tend to think that anyone with anything is the enemy. Rioting anytime the opportunity arises.
Punishment for looting should be more severe than petty theft because it really is very dangerous, putting peoples lifes in jeopardy.

It's a reflection of the social and political inequalities that the youth are experiencing. What sense of community are they expected to have when the overarching community rejects them?

It seems that they are forming their own community, one which is against the status quo.
 
Not as bad as I thought when I first read the title. While the loss of life is tragic at least it was not the "mob" that attacked but 1 psycho. Hopefully this is enough for the authorities to really clamp down and restore order.

Its a reflection of spoiled little shits acting out because the "rich" people have 3 TV's and they only have 2.

Hose these P&N looters down!
 
What? You mean organise the distribution of new trainers and electronic goods?

Thats what your "protesters" seem to be wanting.

This.

There are not protesters, there are morons who want free stuff and to set things on fire for fun. You are deluded or out of touch with reality if you think otherwise.

LOL.

If these riots had happened in America there would have been 100 people dead by now because of your crazy gun laws.

Because the UK has normal gun laws there have been hardly any homicides.

Not really. There are elements within that are looting, but the underlying reasons are due to inequalities. Many of the looters have been quoted as starting an insurrection or taking back their taxes.

I'm going to be generous and assume that you just aren't aware of what's been really going on.

Really?

Is that why there is a 6000% increase in the sale of aluminum bats with Amazon?

Meanwhile Amazon has turned over all the receipts of who has purchased the bats.

I never thought of that, but its actually an interesting thought. This would never happen in small town America because the looters would be shot dead on the first day.

I suppose the question is whether looting warrants the death sentence, and whether a citizen should be empowered to enforce such a sentence with in his own capacity.

Dude, the 6000% rise in the sale of bats is funny but how many do you think are normally sold in the UK?

Also is anyone likely to be going "Oh some chav is kicking in my door I 'll just pop on Amazon to order... 28 day delivery no problem, special war zone delivery insurance available? "
