fucking sucks
| | |
holy shit that's terrible
| | |
awful awful news
| | |
Damn... well... this sucks, I just hope these riots don't continue for much longer.
| | |
Sucks
These guys are working hard to get music out there, just to get burned down by ignorant bastards who have no idea what they are rioting about or even why they are rioting
| | |
riots need to stop before they wreck everything and spread to even more places.
| | |
scumbags.
| | |
Can't even believe what's happening here in the UK. People are copying this in other cities now too, I just hope that it's stamped out before it gets worse.
Also, this news is really sad
| | |
A guy stole tesco value basmati rice... not even the good shit...
| | |
fucking shitty, a lot of familiar names in there too
| | |
So many great labels in there
| | |
Fuckin sucks.
I suppose if there's ANY positive to this... Victory was on that list...
| | |
Victory!
| | |
Disgusting.
| | |
burm em all dwn inat cushdy
| | |
shit just got personal
| | |
what a bunch of cunts
all the people I know from my socialist/communist group are defending the rioters but sometimes they need to fucking clean their brains out
| | |
i'm a communist but this is stupid
| | |
lol communism;
also, thank god it burned down victory, sad for the rest of the labels
| | |
Is there a place on facebook where everyone is flocking to combat this shit?
| | |
how is this being reported in countries like the US?
| | |
a brief mention here and there, I'm getting more information about it on here
pretty disgusted by it
| | |
yup, fucking scum
| | |
It'd be ok if it was just Victory, but shit.
| | |
"The record label run by the ironically-named BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank loses all its records the fire at the Sony warehouse." Sorry but this made me lol a little.
| | |
this fucking sucks  . Bunch of wankers.
| | |
This is pretty bad news, not only just for the warehouse, but for the targeted private houses as well...
Those riots are really moronic, they don't have a reason anymore either; it's just "Hey let's all be morons and break stuff!"
| | |
At first I was hoping some grassroots political movements could reign in the riots to turn them into something a bit more progressive and focused, but now it's clear that this shit is just for giggles. The unemployed are biting the hand that feeds them, and it looks like taxpaying Londoners are going to be footing the bill once more.
Sadly, there's no coverage of this in the US, really. We're too upset about being downgraded by the S&P to give a rat's ass.

"We're too upset about being downgraded by the S&P to give a rat's ass."
lol it was funny to hear about the US government's massive tantrum over that
| | |
My disgust and anger at these prats just became even greater.
| | |
Anarchy brah
| | |
balls. fuck rodney king
| | |
People have been killed now
| | |
hopefully the worst is over now though, but it's awful people have lost their lives being caught up in this.
| | |
Can I ask what's the deal with being ok with the Victory stuff? i don't get it...
| | |
I see
| | |
damn that's INSANE
| | |
Here's a solution. Bring in military and let them do what they do best.
| | |
^ naked high-fives and ass-slapping are NOT the answer here Balls.
