That is sickening, as is all of the ‘riots’ of the past few days. What is wrong with these people?! (please dont answer that, there are no excuses for acting like that)

What makes you think that he wasn’t also a looter?

Irrelevant if he was a looter or not. Unforgivable.

Read the commentary from the person who filmed it (see Realmans original post)

Someone looks out of place here….

Nothing quite like making it blatant

I saw Tiger’s link to it?

I’m playing devil’s advocate… they might have been robbing loot off him?

Obviously Tarquin didnt have many more brain cells than the rest of them though did he ?!?

I’m playing devil’s advocate…

As always. Any chance of saying what you really think?

I’m playing devil’s advocate.

I know you are, shall I stop ruining it for you 🙂

is that his mx5 ?

I wonder if Tim-nice-but-Dim managed to keep hold of the laptop he’s got over his shoulder? Clearly self-preservation isn’t an instinct he possesses

I have earlier in the thread Jamie.

Regarding the video… I wouldn’t expect anything different in the context of what’s going on. The whole situation is ‘dog eat dog’.

It must be the white kids looting… Because Grantway explained earlier, it’s only the “Coloured community” that are rioting, right?

telegraph quote

It is understood that investigators have been told that Duggan did not open fire on police before he was shot dead, but that he had drawn a weapon…

Think I’ll call it a day. Somehow this is getting to me, the kids finishing off what the Government and banks started. Plus my mate took his own life this weekend.
I’ll restart my role in society Wednesday.

See ya when I get home.

at least there is the full span of opinion on this thread.
unfortunately, the hard-right seem to be the only ones with solutions.

What, Final ones?

Godwins law!

What, Final ones?

lol whut?

I think this was the kind of thing they had in mind Fred

TJ what’s your fave Hearsay song?

I hate apologists for criminality. Nothing can justify the looting, robbery, arson, violence seen in our cities over the last few days. Yes, you can understand it in Syria, Libya, etc but these are people who don’t know the meaning or repression or suffering.

Sadly, most of the ‘youth’ involved in this are not victims of high unemployment as they have no intention of working as they think the country owes them a living the same as their parents, grand parents etc.

Many small businesses locally have stopped taking in school/college placement kids or employing young people straight from school as it’s simply too much trouble. They have no work ethic, arrive late or not all, have a poor attitude and are basically just feckless.

I have no idea what a sensible solution is. (Got a few daft ones like sterilisation of 3rd generation benefit claimants so they can’t perpetuate the problem.)

So what do we think will happen tonight? I’m thinking less than last night but lots of tense stand offs across London.

So what do we think will happen tonight?

A lot more bottys displayed.

Without rubber bullets it’s bound to kick off again tonight.

*social observation mode*
Jamie’s pics show an interesting and quite sad situation really. (apart from the young hipster mayn looking out of place)

These kids in countries with real financial poverty would be looting food. ‘Our’ kids have a perhaps worse kind of ‘mental’ or ’emotional’ poverty. A life so vaccuous that getting the latest phone/pumps gives a temporary high…

going back to the famous logo thread- the looting shows without doubt how well branding has set into the mindset of so many. no one would argue with that, right? 😉

Are these scrotes in some bizarre way reacting against the meaninglessness of a world based on ‘I-want-it-now’ consumerism, in the only way they know how (anger/violence), crying out for something with more substance (the poor dears)??

perhaps it will lead to some kind of correction, like a resistance from within?
doing stuff like gardening and sheeeet becomes cool?
or building a new pump track. something to do innit.

Damn shame for all the innocent peoples and small business owners though
