Motiv3: Riots In London

Restrikted 08.08.11	Damn. :/ The worlds a mess now as it is
Motiv3 08.08.11	well so much for meeting friends in the pub tommorrow night, might not happen. Sup sputnik, any of you live in london?
eternium 08.08.11	Drive near the riots blasting Refused.
Sanders 08.08.11	I've got several mates living in London. Shit's starting to go down in Birmingham too. Glad I live in the north right now, about as far away as I can be. Hope it stays away from you pal.
wabbit 08.08.11	man you should do what eternium said but instead of Refused play punk music
TheNotrap 08.08.11	All those guys should be arrested.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	i live about 60 miles from london is that's any comfort to you
Sanders 08.08.11	Also, they burnt down a Greggs. Cunts.
MO 08.08.11	Pretty crazy stuff going on. Still no word on why the cops shot that guy.
eternium 08.08.11	Refused isn't punk music?
Motiv3 08.08.11	shit in croydon is probably the worst, the size of the fires there are insane.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	on consideration it probably isn't any comfort that the place i live the biggest shit to go down was the closing of the pub a few months ago. but seriously i hope you don't get caught up in it.
Sanders 08.08.11	Yeah, that furniture store looks horrific. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14449675 for anyone who's wondering what the fuss is about.
eternium 08.08.11	Americans are too lazy to riot.
Motiv3 08.08.11	if americans rioted the police would step in and shoot them, here we dont do jack shit.
Sanders 08.08.11	"Gangs of masked youths are roaming the streets with petrol bombs in Clapham Junction." Seriously, what the fuck, our country's full of twats. Army needs to step in soon I reckon.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	here we just stand in line watching them run around destroying things
bungy 08.08.11	I Fucking hate people
Pharoh 08.08.11	why are they rioting for? i havent been tuned in the news as of late.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	a protest against the shooting of someone on saturday turned ugly and things have got out of hand since then, more people taking an oppourtunity to go smash stuff
Pharoh 08.08.11	oh sounds a lot like the L.A. riots, where people can care less about the problem and just steal TV'S and go wild...
bungy 08.08.11	I am going drive over there and give everybody a good scolding
Sanders 08.08.11	Word's spread by bbm apparently, and now it's getting less and less to do with the original protest, and more and more to do with random looting. Crazy.
iFghtffyrdmns 08.08.11	sounds like a good occasion for some death m/
Pharoh 08.08.11	grab a all terrain vehicle, blast deathmetal and smash stuff.
iFghtffyrdmns 08.08.11	and get one of those bill clinton masks and wear that around. idk why it just seems kinda badass
Motiv3 08.08.11	shits going down in Birmingham city centre too now.
porch 08.08.11	hollier reporting live from the scene
porch 08.08.11	"there are black people everywhere it's just awful"
pneumoniahawk93 08.08.11	My friend was in Enfield when there were riots. He said that shit got SO far out of hand it was ridiculous. It would make more sense if they had a point, but they're just smashing shit. So frustrating.
Sanders 08.08.11	"shits going down in Birmingham city centre too now." They smashed up an Adidas shop and a McDonalds. Doesn't take much to work out what kind of pricks automatically flock to those locations.
AliW1993 08.08.11	The whole thing's a fucking disgrace. I'm from Newcastle so it doesn't affect me but the fact that they're using the accidental death of a complete stranger as an excuse to burn half of the capital is fucking disgusting. In fact, I doubt that most of them even know why they're supposed to be rioting. Army should be brought in to shoot every single one of them, it's no less than they deserve, wankers.
iFghtffyrdmns 08.08.11	IT IS BETTER TO DESTROY THAN TO CREATE WHAT IS MEANINGLESS SO THE PICTURE WILL NOT BE FINISHED
omnipanzer 08.08.11	Sorry to hear it Motiv3, not something I would want to be anywhere near.
gaslightanthem 08.08.11	Easiest way to sum up the riots: looks like private individuals are paying the price for the actions of Government. Think about it, if the Government didn't have such a large stake telling you what to do (arresting people for crimes that don't affect anyone- eg drug use) and how to spend your money (distribution of wealth through income tax) than 1. People wouldn't be disillusioned with false senses of entitlement, 2. These rioters wouldn't have anything to riot about 3. There would be more police on the streets protecting individual's private property rights
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	jesus, there are reports of shooting in croydon now
Pharoh 08.08.11	"there are reports of shooting in croydon now" from where? the police, rioters?? i thought guns were banned from the UK, or i must be getting confused..
Motiv3 08.08.11	yeah i saw that too, unconfirmed tho. Seems to be getting worse and worse.
Motiv3 08.08.11	Pharoh: there is a little thing called the black market.
botb 08.08.11	yeah why hasnt the military just kinda shut this down yet
FelixCulpa 08.08.11	"Police at the scene of the Croydon disturbances are investigating a "non-fatal" shooting, according to a source. No more details are immediately available." Thank god for that.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	"yeah why hasnt the military just kinda shut this down yet" cause david cameron isn't back from his holiday yet
Pharoh 08.08.11	is the police allowed to carry guns? im not very knowledgeable about the Uk way of running things
AliW1993 08.08.11	"i thought guns were banned from the UK" We have far more restrictions on them than in the US, but they're still available if you have a liscence, and obviously there's a huge black market (especially in London) that these people are no doubt involved in.
FrankRedHot 08.08.11	Is the police allowed to carry guns? I don't know, but I wonder ARE the police allowed to carry guns
AliW1993 08.08.11	And yes certain types of police officer do carry guns
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	aren't enough officers though
Motiv3 08.08.11	pretty much not enough in the police force out there atm.
porch 08.08.11	http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg741/scaled.php?tn=0&server=741&filename=qbrsj.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640
Sanders 08.08.11	Yeah, certain aspects of the police force are trained to use MP5s.
brandnewAAAA 08.08.11	This is just stupid. I mean, if they were rioting in front of banks, parlament or governments offices I could partially understand that as the only way to express their anger and disillusionement. But destroying your own community and stealing to people who are probably in the same bad possition as you, fucking idiots.
TheArkitecht 08.08.11	It's absolutely ridiculous, I'm watching the news atm and it's just atrocious. Luckily I live in the south so I'm away from the riots but I've heard it's been spreading to other cities now. The Army needs to be brought in equipped with rubber bullets, these looters don't deserve their 'human rights'.
TheArkitecht 08.08.11	Police have been brought in from 20 counties aswell and it's still not enough.
eternium 08.08.11	Just bring in a teenage team of Americans with paint guns and they'll solve the problem. Also, I strongly agree with what you said about if they were rioting in front of banks instead of local stores.
FelixCulpa 08.08.11	Watching the stream whilst listening to London Calling. The situation is crazy http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14449675
Knott- 08.08.11	My ex lives just round the corner from the Old Kent Road Tesco... it's getting pretty fucking ridiculous. COBRA is meeting in the morning but I don't see how this is ending in any calm fashion.
Pharoh 08.08.11	I hope this riot stops, there has been numerous riots across the world lately, the Egyptian riot, the libya riot, and others. I sense a riot might be set off here in the U.S. as well due to anxiety about jobless americans, stock market going down and the current real-estate market condition can become a breeding ground to a nationwide riot.
FelixCulpa 08.08.11	My mind kinda drifts to this video (Dirt) http://www.wulyf.org/ from seeing the footage.
eternium 08.08.11	Oh please. This riot isn't related at all to the Arab ones and if America was going to riot it would have already.
Sanders 08.08.11	Amid all this chaos, the disgusting behaviour of the rioters, and the lack of authority that's present, every time I see it on the news I just have to stop and admire how cool COBRA sounds as an emergency meeting.
Knott- 08.08.11	But David Cameron will be heading it up so...
Pharoh 08.08.11	Its not that its related, its more like "oh they are rioting, lets do it too", to sorta justify it.
FelixCulpa 08.08.11	It's all about appreciating the little things sanders ;)
AliW1993 08.08.11	The Arab riots were revolutions, and were ultimately in support of a good cause. This isn't a revolution, it's just sheer thuggery.
taxidermist 08.08.11	@Motive3 It's that close to you? Fucking A. Stay safe man.
Sanders 08.08.11	"But David Cameron will be heading it up so..." Yeah, I guess it's like having the Autobots being led by Henry the Hoover.
eternium 08.08.11	America can't even consider raising taxes on the rich barons that brought down the economy, much less riot over economic conditions.
Pharoh 08.08.11	http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/08/07/7292281-the-sad-truth-behind-london-riot apparently its more than just that person who died, something that lies beneath the surface.
Knott- 08.08.11	Hahaha. Linking these riots to those in the Arab world is pretty silly.
taxidermist 08.08.11	Stokes, you anywhere near this?
brandnewAAAA 08.08.11	COBRA is an emergency meeting? I thought that was a special team like SWAT or something lol
Pharoh 08.08.11	its not that its linked,its that people have found out if the revolution were peaceful nothing would have been done.
thumbcrusher 08.08.11	these people are literally rioting for the lolz not because of anything like economic conditions. they don't appear to need a real reason at all.
BallsToTheWall 08.08.11	Gonna take a plane trip over and riot with them limeys.
Sanders 08.08.11	I'm at uni about half an hour from Birmingham, but pretty sure rioting won't affect Leamington Spa much...
Knott- 08.08.11	I was in London literally 12 hours ago, on Old Kent Road where there's looting now, in the Tesco which is having its windows smashed in. Ridiculous.
wittwright 08.08.11	American media doesn't seem to have to much coverage on this, I had no idea this was happening.
BallsToTheWall 08.08.11	PLEASE BURN OUR WOMEN AND RAPE OUR CHURCHES BUT AT LEAST SPARE THE MIDDLETONS. LET THE MIDDLETONS LIVE!!!!!
wabbit 08.08.11	I really picked the wrong time to tell my parents I'm moving to England for two years
taxidermist 08.08.11	"I was in London literally 12 hours ago, on Old Kent Road where there's looting now, in the Tesco which is having its windows smashed in. Ridiculous." Good to hear you ain't there in all that ruckus. If there were ever a riot near me I'd prob just have a bat ready to crack the shit out of anyone who tried anything.
Motiv3 08.08.11	hahaha yeah u did rabbit. @Wittwright: thats because its nothing to do with either war, religion, terrorism or america itself.
Motiv3 08.08.11	and yes im that close, its spread across london, its moved to romford now from ilford which isnt far from me either.
Sanders 08.08.11	"PLEASE BURN OUR WOMEN AND RAPE OUR CHURCHES BUT AT LEAST SPARE THE MIDDLETONS. LET THE MIDDLETONS LIVE!!!!!" Fuck the Middletons, as long as Keeley Hazell is safe, that's all that matters.
Sanders 08.09.11	Liverpool's like a half hour away from my hometown, but can't see shit going down here, noone cares about this place that much.
Sanders 08.09.11	If they go anywhere near Chester Zoo I will go out there and fuck them up.
Sanders 08.09.11	I have a couple of mates from there, never visited the city itself though. Fingers crossed the Liverpool riots are only small incidents compared to the rest of them.
Motiv3 08.09.11	this is getting more and more crazy with each hour :/
Tom93M 08.09.11	double post -whoops.
Tom93M 08.09.11	Holy shit! I'm in England and i swear i didn't know all this was going on. Just switched on the News and shit's gone crazy. I'm lucky i'm up north - my nearest big city is Manchester, but seeing as it's spread to Birmingham there's a chance it could come up here too. The ironic thing is that the police have just been forced to cut back their staff because of the economic situation... bad timing fellas.
Fugue 08.09.11	This shit is getting scary bad. I know a guy 5 minutes from some of the fires... apparently it's spreading to Birmingham and Manchester too...
Tom93M 08.09.11	Manchester is only about 20 mins from my home - might pop down and have a nosey if it all kicks off!
Tom93M 08.09.11	You have to - how often does this shit happen? I wouldn't join in with all the retarded rioters though. Wtf do they think they're going to achieve? They're just destroying the communities in which they live.
wabbit 08.09.11	...you'll join in if you're there. It's human nature just don't go
Fugue 08.09.11	Glad I don't live in a major city right now.
Tom93M 08.09.11	As it goes i actually hope to join the police in the future so i'd just be interested to see what i might be letting myself in for. I was joking by the way, apart from the bit about the rioters - just aimless morons looking for an excuse to kick off.
Sanders 08.09.11	This has spread ridiculously and scarily quickly.
someguest 08.09.11	"if americans rioted the police would step in and shoot them, here we dont do jack shit." you're retarded
AliW1993 08.09.11	Fuck charging them, every one of these fuckers deserves to be slaughtered. Rats of the earth, pure 100% scum.
someguest 08.09.11	Chavs?
newjunkaesthetic93 08.09.11	Refused is totally punk you piece of shit!
Motiv3 08.09.11	well this might as well be called the UK riots. Its gone tits up in Bristol and Nottingham as well as London and Birmingham. We need to bring in the army and fast.
ThePrisonGuard 08.09.11	Drive near the riots blasting Refused. [2] +1 internets for eternium.
Trebor. 08.09.11	Blast Riot by Dead Kennedys instead
thumbcrusher 08.09.11	how have things gone near you motiv3? did they stay clear of your street?
ShadowRemains 08.09.11	"hollier reporting live from the scene "there are black people everywhere it's just awful" fucking lol
none 08.09.11	lmao
liledman 08.09.11	fucking lol[2] this shit is so dumb, theres like 10 year olds running around too. opportunistic dicks.
qwe3 08.09.11	ITT porch makes the funniest comment ive seen on here in ages and pharoh proves once again to be a strong case for euthanasia
qwe3 08.09.11	and yeah these riots are fucking abominable
Motiv3 08.09.11	Yeah not near me Thumbcrusher, didnt think they would, im in a residential area away from the high street so i didnt think they would come here.
ShadowRemains 08.09.11	"pharoh proves once again to be a strong case for euthanasia" multiple threads...man this guy is just out of control
TheNotrap 08.09.11	Mark Duggan's death is just an excuse to violence and theft. These guys should be arrested...permanently.
ShadowRemains 08.09.11	"These guys should be arrested...permanently." arrested permanently?
qwe3 08.09.11	YOURE UNDER ARREST ok take me to jail pigs! WE DIDNT SAY WE WOULD TAKE YOU TO JAIL LOL U MAD
thumbcrusher 08.09.11	that's a relief cause they didn't seem to care where they attacked, i mean they robbed a fucking baby supplies shop.
Sanders 08.09.11	"Water cannon ruled out by Home Secretary Theresa May." What a stupid bitch.
Motiv3 08.09.11	shes fucking useless, we need the army or at least armed police out right now.
ShadowRemains 08.09.11	you realize that would piss people off even more right?
thumbcrusher 08.09.11	well they've got to do something forceful, they were buring down the city
Sanders 08.09.11	"you realize that would piss people off even more right?" It'd give hope to the rest of the country that the rioting won't go unchecked, most of the scumbags running around on the streets are teenagers who'd go running back to their parents crying if enough people stood up to them.
Motiv3 08.09.11	"you realize that would piss people off even more right?" What we supposed to do? let this all continue? the police are stretched and outnumbered as it is and even with the increase of police presence tonight as indicated by Cameron they are still going to have a hard time containing this. Its becoming more and more widespread now than just London. These riots now have nothing to do with what the original cause was told to be and more to do with opportunism and basically destroying and looting property. Chances are if armed police or the army were out then this could all be stopped quite drastically.
Sanders 08.09.11	^ agree.
ShadowRemains 08.09.11	well clearly someone fucked up and it's not gonna be easy to fix
syffuf25 08.09.11	From what I've read, Cameron says they'll have 16,000 police on the streets by night fall. I'm in Iowa and it's 9am here and I'm guessing it's about a 10 hour difference so hopefully they'll be there soon.
Motiv3 08.09.11	So ive been down my local high street and quite a few shops were smashed up but nowhere near as bad as Ilford which is my local town. The shops shutting early and there are rumours of a bigger riot tonight, there is already a bit of police presence as well.
AliW1993 08.09.11	I know this hardly matters in the grand scheme of things, but quite a few indie labels are going to be hit hard by that Sony warehouse being destroyed.
BigHans 08.09.11	first thing I thought of when I heard London riots was KILL thrashing hard.
Pharoh 08.09.11	well clearly someone fucked up and it's not gonna be easy to fix durrr hurrrr
someguest 08.09.11	old school trash a couple of bricks and KILL has a party
Megadeth 08.09.11	LEARN WHAT IRONY IS FOR FUCKIN FUCK SAKE

JamieTwort 08.09.11	Apparently there were riots about 10 minutes away from where I live.
omnipanzer 08.09.11	You're in the UK JT?
JamieTwort 08.09.11	I am indeed.

omnipanzer 08.09.11	Skinner can restore the peace.

MoosechriS 08.09.11	I live in warrington, right between liverpool and manhester where apparently its all kicking off now. Don't hold out much hope for the police stopping it at the moment.

eggsvonsatan 08.09.11	So does anyone know WTF is going on and why people are just lighting shit on fire?
Sanders 08.09.11	I imagine Portsmouth's similar to Preston in its filthiness.
Emim 08.09.11	Next week on SPUTNIK: Bungy does world peace!
patroneyes 08.09.11	rabbit wins for troll of the month. i applaud you.
porch 08.09.11	it's about time they imposed a curfew and started using water cannons or rubber bullets to stop this bullshit
Sanders 08.09.11	The only person who apparently thinks we shouldn't use those was the fucking home secretary. Daft bint.
Inveigh 08.19.11	"it's about time they imposed a curfew and started using water cannons or rubber bullets to stop this bullshit" ahh, Europe. over here we'd already be working on the cover-up for all the civilians we killed with real guns.
ShadowRemains 08.19.11	"durrr hurrrr" sorry i'm posting obvious shit to dumb it down to your level
ShadowRemains 12.07.12	ahhhh this thread...porch's comment still brings the lolz
