Riots tonight...

[brunswick]

this thread is pretty twisted - ppl calling for rioters to be shot and also grown men now scared to goto london.....unreal.

a mix of mass no fear attack and kill + i am in fear and feel helpless.

best to be somewhere in the middle of these crazy extremes; there is no problem with going to london tonight, they are after the businesses, "mass effect," and easy pickings etc.....not anyone on a train or tube minding their own business. do not let it affect 'your' life or you lose something within you.

Guy that died in croydon was apparently a looter, suddenly i have no sympathy for him, tough luck mate u shouldnt have been such a prick in your life. Hopefully the police will crack some heads tonight.

I reckon the old bill will start laying into them big time tonight, 3 nights of the piss being taken out of them.

Hope the Media don't lay into them.

My Gray and Nicholls 3lb 2 ouncer would be my weapon of choice and it wouldn`t be with a backward defensive dead bat, I can tell you matey boy.

Its sad that people assume that a sporting weapon would suffice in dealing with the thugs and thugettes. I'm sure The Royal & Anchient would have to put the use of 9 irons to the rules commitee before this could happen. Gray-Nicholls bats, whatever size or handle length would be innapropriate in Questions hand's anyway.. he bats 8 at least !

I say, run them through with a garden fork.

Interesting thought today, lots of people (including myself), clamouring for the army to re-take the streets. Yet there's currently an absolute outcry about the army going in in Syria and other trouble torn countries.

Just saying.

Just showed on Sky, 60-70 blokes around 30-40 years old protecting their area... I knew it would happen.

It's Enfield. They are doing a great job as well. Most in white shirts. A couple dressed as super heros.

Yes - I was just thinking earlier. If you were stupid enough to go a rioting in London tonight, there would be a strong possibility of someone else having a serious pop at you.

Appears very quiet out there tonight.

Getting dark now mate... we'll find out soon, but there will be people 'defending' their communities all over London tonight.

West Brom scenes being shown on Sky News are only yards away from my girlfriend's work. Good that the Police shut them down at 1pm.

So where is it happening tonight then? Seems to be mainly in Manchester and Birmingham?

Is the extra police presence working? I guess its probably too early to say, but it was kicking off much earlier than this and more widespread yesterday.

Manchester, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton, but all seem pretty well contained.

Not alone - People from all races and communities, defending their borough - together. Enfield is busy with 'white shirts' EVERYWHERE and 7 riot vans just passed my house. Think it might kick off on the Southbury Road.

good on them i say.

Enfield vigilantes have just thrown the bike of a trouble maker into a river and the lad legged it.

 

[blue2]

what if the Amex was under threat would you turn up to protect it or leave it to the police?

Some Wolves photos here. Sirens been going all evening, Police helicopter made several visits and hovered above my house for ages. I also watched some police stop, search, and release a couple of hoodies across the road from our house. Seems quiet now.
