I know that corner in Croydon that is burning ...........It's called Reeves Corner - a family business going back years - several shops all belonging to the Reeves family. It's part of my life!! I'm really upset by this! It's senseless.
CNN reporter has apparently been attacked and chased
I'm just praying there are no fatalities in these fires..... there is no excuse for this, none!
sadly i think it's only a matter of time before someone is killed due to this 
Can't they shut down Twitter?
It's not just that though Rawky, as far as I can gather it's FB too and even Blackberry stuff. It will never happen, allthough it should
Why? What's going on?
alot of kids don't have any ideas though col........they don't go out and destroy their community because of it............i would bet more than half don't even care if they get a job or not......where's the fun in getting up at 6 on a cold winters morning when you can stay in bed til lunchtime and then saunter off and meet your mates a bit later.....they don't want a job......it's too much effort.....too much interference on their lifestyle......as i said earlier.....can you honestly see the kids doing this putting in 12 hour days 5/6/7 days a week.......i can't
spongey, all of this is what's wrong with our society. Why are these kids so complacent. Wherever you see a decent community programme to get them off their butts and do something to make them feel proud about themselves, they seem to perk up and carry on living a fairly good life. Why does it have to be so hard to do it for them all?
i have no sympathy or time for these moronic wastes of oxygen.........every bloody time there's always an excuse for them...'it's not their fault he/she hasn't got a job'...'it's not his/hers fault.the teachers should've done more'...it's always everyone elses fault never theirs......then if they do get caught it's a slap on the wrist and told not to be a naughty boy/girl...they just laugh at it......
no one has told these rioters to go out and do this...they've chosen too.....they've chosen to partake in the type of behaviour croc described in her post and more.......they're just mindless loutish thugs who wouldn't want a job if it ran up to them singing and dancing in the street shouting 'pick me'.....
why would they work when they can sponge the system...sleep in til midday...and behave exactly how they want when they want with no one to answer too.can anyone honestly see the types croc described putting in a 12 hour day 5/6 days a week?....no chance!
they are to blame.......they love the mindless violence....... they thrive on it...but of course they're not as brave as they'd like you to think...hence the covering of their faces
Agree with every word, Spongey.
Agreed too

These are the people we should focus on and help...not the scum who have ruined so many livelihoods and families.
Trouble in Leeds according to the Guardian website.

Because they have been devalued by the 'benefits for all' system...they have no sense of their value because they have never had to look for it.

i don't live in that area col.........but i do know in my town there's quite a few lads who are well known to police and people in the area.........if they get an asbo they moan it's against 'their rights and is unfair'.........if they get community service 'it's a drag'......if they get put on a work placement 'it's crap'..........they don't want to do anything other than lounge about doing what they want when they want.....they don't want to be told what to do.....they don't like the authority
No police in Clapham at all apparently...
Stupid f*cking tories... and the idiots were planning on cutting down in police numbers
Clapham..no police in sight...........Sloane Street next........
Sounds like a Chavs shopping spree to me............

Well Cologne, at 10, if you don't know that steeling is wrong there must be something seriously wrong with you.

Well, they aren't well behave kids with a sense of right or wrong are they? Where are the parents of these 'angels'?? A sense of worth comes form the family as well as society in general.
Gotta love the Met.

Looking at those ferocious fires I'm amazed that no one has been killed ........................can someone please explain to me what is the point?
Actually - I know what the point is - it's get in there and grab what you can. DISGUSTING! The thing is - these thugs have actually destroyed their own communities and what little provision there was has now been ruined! TBH - I can't get my head round this!
They are scum ,they are lawless, and they have committed a criminal offence ,they are criminals

Perhaps their Parents and wider family should have kept a firmer grip............

My kids are 13 and 8 and they both know that this behaviour is wrong....it isn't rocket science.
Can't they shut down Twitter?

Messages being passed to and fro apparently
Perhaps their Parents and wider family should have kept a firmer grip............
...and perhaps concecutive Governments should have taken care of them rather than Middle England and the rich.

Exactly Syd...ultimate responsibility for the children lies with the parents/guardians...

You mean like re-grouping on there and structuring where too loot and torch next? 
Just heard that Argos in Eltham has been smashed in

Sorry Cologne but it's not the government's job to look after these kids....... it's the parents....

Col, don't be so naive....please
Lizzy Davies is filing from Hackney:
Full scale looting going on at Clarence convenience store right by the burning car on clarence road. "One by one" shouts one man as people crowd round to get into the shop, whose entrance has been smashed in. Women calling: can you get me a magazine? Other people asking for alcohol. A photographer is being threatened by a guy and press moving away. But others still smashing in rest of shop front.
The situation is highly volatile. A man was just hit over the head with a bottle and punched in the face. A witness said his assailant was a woman. He was left bleeding down the back of his neck. The apparent motive for the assault was that the man was taking photos. But he told police afterwards that he hadn't been doing that when he was targeted, so the circumstances remain unclear.

Sorry Cologne but it's not the government's job to look after these kids....... it's the parents....
But if the parents have got no morals..........
i think whether you're ten,fourteen,eighteen,twenty six or whatever......if you join in you're part of it.....criminal damage..assault.......you're a criminal.....age has no part.....if you join in...expect to get punished if you're caught

Maybe I am missing something but what has been done to them,have they been isolated from the rest of the UK.They are not looting because of economic climate,they are looting because they are thieving bastards.
