GMP:

"Looter just handed himself into a GMP station after seeing himself looting on Facebook. Officers continuing to make arrests."

"If you have been using social networking sites to incite disorder, expect us to come knocking on your door very soon"

Soozy, yer 'avin a laff aren't ye......apart from electrical and  'sports clothing' goods, haven't seen any 'good shops' done yet, it's all Aldi, Primark. local yellow 9ct gold jewellers etc.etc. etc. Gawd, that sounds awful, but has Harvey Nics, Mulberry, Bang and Olufsen etc. etc. been looted , NO.......they're setting their sights pretty low

I think, maybe, we're at cross purposes? i'm talking about those who have been 'well educated' and  are privileged who are robbing bastards...not suggesting that they are involved in the current looting etc. bloody hell they are far too 'clever' for that

Police Officer has been shot in Birmingham - Sky News

EDL are LOVING this

just going to post that....

WhWhat a sad sad picture.

As best I can......read back, I did the best I could to try and explain/understand what I think may be happening

Mindless ,lawless,vandalism and they do it because they want to and they can. I dont think for one minute it's because of rising student fees,the lack of employment opportunities or youth facilities.

Anybody wanna buy a watch or ten? 

 lunatics really have taken over the asylum

I  broadly agree..for some, but not far all......anyways I'm in a minority of one or so here, so I'll shutup now.....But, before I do so, let me make it absolutely clear, I don't condone or excuse what's happening in any way shape or form......Just trying to analyse/ understand it beyond the theory that it's down to shite parents who don't give their kids a good hiding

Just read it

Lennon said some members had were already carrying out patrols trying to deter rioters, and that hundreds more would join them Wednesday.

"We're going to stop the riots — police obviously can't handle it," Lennon told the AP.

The far-right group was cited as an inspiration to Anders Behring Breivik who has confessed to the July 22 massacre in Norway

Nah,  exactly as i would have expected, they'll be loving it

Well, at least they can't blame the Muslims for this!

Or can they.

Political machiaveniallism and racism is indeed alive and well Blizz...Oh woops i said i'd shuddup only a few mins ago......AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH, why can't people see the 'bigger picture'

Personally, I think there are so many answers, that none of them are the answer. 

I mentioned Lord of the Flies, yesterday, and I also think that this is an extreme example of the Madness of Crowds. The fact that social networks and BBMs were being used, made the escalation of the problem frighteningly quick.

From what I've seen, these are not, on the whole, 'angry yoofs', although it certainly seemed to start from a stand point of bitterness against the police. I think Stop and Search is still causing problems and those who experience it frequently, despite being innocent, are likely to resent the police to some extent. However, the police were really only the target in the beginning, and the madness that came afterwards was something completely different. There was a mania about it, like kids being let loose in a sweet shop (that doesn't sound strong enough, but you know what I mean). This was fun, with a sinister twist. There was camaraderie. Nobody was stopping them and they could do what they wanted! 

All we do know is that the majority of these people would not normally behave like this on a day to day basis, otherwise the crime figures would be through the roof.
