[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[Wrong-Direction]

F***ing animals on both sides, how about we deport everyone out on the street to an island and let them work out their differences, let the rest of us get on with life

How does this calm down / end?

Starmer's strong words were never going to deter anyone. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that because of him in any way, but those involved in the rioting are not going to pay heed to anyone in authority suggesting they will feel the full force of the law etc.

I guess it was hoped that some rapid prosecutions and the handing out of stiff sentences would male people think twice, but will it be a strong enough deterrent? Thousands have been involved in this and the majority won't be brought to task. If you wear plain clothing and a mask/balaclava there's probably limited chance of being recognised and receiving that morning-after knock on the door.

In 2011, I recall feeling worried that the bad guys had figured out that with sufficient numbers on the streets, they could overwhelm police forces. This feels like it's got the potential to escalate beyond that, and now there seem to be indications that Muslim groups are also mobilising,

So, how does it end - any ideas?

Million-Dollar question right there!

Both sides? The bullies and the bullied?

The Isle of White?

Arrests and prosecutions.

Sigh

Funny how so many concerned " genuine " protesters all arrive wearing black hoodies or Balaclavas...

As other posters have stated, they aren't going to find and arrest the majority of these pricks

All those people on camera, and who have put pictures of each other on Facebook and Twitter? Hundreds have been arrested already. Following it is fast becoming a spectator sport.

Of course they will be caught. Just check posts by @Bozza and others on this thread. And calm the f*** down!

It seems that you're a big baby too.

Well done

They're not.

But I wonder if this will wash through as each town/city has its time in the rioting limelight, and then the knocks on the door and arrests happen and people in that area are deterred as they know someone facing a long prison sentence, and don't want to risk the same.

So, maybe Southport, Rotherham and Middlesbrough won't go again but in other cities, such as Plymouth tonight, noone knows anyone who has been arrested for rioting yet, so they don't feel at threat. That will change in coming days as police identify, arrest and charge those involved tonight.

Steady on and don’t react.
