Tottenham Riots

[NineBerry]

Rioters should be shot dead on sight.

Racists should be shot dead on sight.

That would end up with an awful lot of black people being shot dead on sight.

Fixed that for you.

[Horwood Beer-Master]

...Quite so. I find myself getting a tad impatient with the apologists who blame everyone except those who are responsible for their own behaviour when people behave atrociously.

Me too. Though I'd extend that to all those stock-market chancers who've been panic-selling their shares lately, thus making themselves part of the problem.

...work ethic isn't enough in the 21st century to make it past doing menial jobs...

Not always enough alone to get one menial or otherwise

Yes, just like that Brazilian terrorist that got shot dead by the Met police. Maybe we should wait until we have the full facts before we become judge and jury in the death of the black guy.

Maybe the "community" should wait until they have the full facts before tearing the place apart.


Too much to ask?

It's winding up for a 3rd night now, TV helicopters are showing 100s of little cnuts looting shops for little more than missiles for the night-fight. Where the fuck are the water-cannon?

Fuck water cannons, shoot them all dead. Society is better off without rioters.

What nonsense. Democracy is founded upon people who were willing to confront the forces of the existing power. There is a distinction between looters and rioters.

Many of the middle-eastern protests could be characterised as riots. Are you saying that they should also be shot?

[Ironclad]

But this isn't a reaction to the pressure of high petrol prices or the cost of housing, this is a snowball effect from an allegedly armed man/chav allegedly being shot and his family and friends, then gang-wannbes going Tonto. These fuckers are looting AND rioting for shits and giggles.

[The Red Fox]

Many of the rioters are young, disaffected and with no hope of anything resembling a future other than life on the dole.

Welcome to the socialist economic end game, when the socialist government can no longer pump out the largess from the public treasury to keep the seething proletarian dole-takers happy because nobody's producing any wealth and everybody's on the dole, and the self-same proletarian dependent-class drones turn on their masters and start to rip them to pieces for failing to keep their unkeepable promises.

Nobody can produce any wealth because 75% of our economy is service based and the majority of those jobs are in the urban areas and in the south, as is what little is left of our industry (roughly 11% of the economic base and shrinking). Engineers and anyone with hands of skill are leaving this country to find work abroad. This is a problem which has had nearly 3 decades to be addressed, but every government seems to be intent on letting 2/3rds of the country become a desolate waste.

You can look for the socialist authorities to become ever-more authoritarian and heavy-handed as they try to quell the riots and unrest. Soon enough the Army will be called out to assist the over-burdened, lll-equipped and untrained police in the art of urban guerrilla warfare by disaffected Marxist dupes. And they will lose, but many will die in the process, as they did under Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Castro. Expect heads on pikes and bodies hanging from London Bridge soon enough.

Welcome to the Brave New World. Too bad you don't have any arms with which to defend your homes and communities. It's going to suck to be you. The fuse is short and the petard is about to blow up under your asses, and it's no more than you deserve.

Er ... Thanks Sethadamus. Or maybe it'll be a short period of rioting, arrests will be made to placate the frothing media-consuming masses and things will carry on as normal until the next economic collapse. Your apocalyptic ramblings are on par with religious fanaticism. Maybe you should go out and socialise more. Oh shit, sorry. "Interact with other human beings in a non-Commie way". Phew. Nearly stepped in it there.

An über-libertarian talking about what's good for society?

When they start burning and looting, they grow a bulls-eye upon their chest.

I wish the same could be said for the right wing posters on this site.

I wish you weren't treated so poorly by English nationalists in your youth.
