News Tottenham riots

[Ch3tan]

Whatever the situation, there's always a good Arsenal joke.
Looters planned to raid trophies from The Emirates but scrapped the plan due to insufficient content. #londonriots

 

[Corran]

They be glad Im not in charge of the police... the rioters certainly wouldnt be in the street if they did...

take the south park approach...

THEY ARE COMING RIGHT FOR US..... <shots everyone> .... phew that was close, lucky we shot them.

guy on the news just told red ken he needs a reality check

 

[Tom]

I'm not saying they should go in Tom, I'm just surprised they haven't tried harder. Scary how much we rely on the news for information though, so many unreliable stories floating about tonight.

They'd be foolhardy to consider it, considering how much stuff is being nicked, who's going to go in filming such things with twenty grand of camera on their shoulder?

and even better, it was a fellow labour and someone he used to work with!

2338: Camden station on fire now, Chalk Farm station closed. Ealing shopping centre is supposedly on fire now as well, according to the BBC.

2337: Looters are being chased down by police in Surrey Quays. Police have also confirmed that Woolwich Curry’s was looted by about 100 people who arrived in cars.

2334: Unconfirmed rumours of trouble brewing in North West London – receiving some info about Edgware and Canons Park at the moment. However, Harrow on the Hill station has reopened.

2333: Ealing has been well and truly struck by rioters. Rumours that they’re attacking anything in a uniform (police and fire). Commercial waste bins have been overturned (why?) and a further rumour has it that Nando’s there has been set alight. This appears to be false as far as we can tell.

Seems to me the kids learned these tactics in response to police kettling used in prior demo's.

They are fading and regrouping, outflanking the police and staying mobile.

Jesus Edgware and Canons Park are 10 minutes from my mums house. Lots of family in and around Harrow.

It's like watching Robocop.

Hopefully this will all fizzle out by tomorrow. If Orient v Southend is called off I will be fucking pissed. Bought tickets this morning >.<

Has anyone else noticed the trend? 99% of the rioter and looters are young black people. They say the police are racist towards them but they're not exactly helping their cause.

 

[Mabs]

hats off to the guy on the news atm, who owns that big white building thats burning, epic composure

and nice Blitz mentality .." we still have 50% of it left"

 

[Zarjazz]

I don't know what all the fuss is about tbh. South southern London w*ankers.

When I lived in a council estate "up north" I often read a book at night to the light of a burning car or two.

 

[Ch3tan]

No, 99% of those shown on TV are black.

Do you think the enfield rioters were black? Croydon is an even split between white, black and asian. Please don't make this racial, it isn't, it's just unleashed youth.

 

[rynnor]

Its just the local kids - in a predominantly black area the kids are black - in a white area like enfield they were predominantly white.

"I'm standing outside the shop now, and it's started to rain *laughs*" Top bloke.

Ok, I guess I shoud've added the "Shown on tv" bit.

 

[Mabs]

"looks like Dresden"

[old.user4556]

I'm off to bed, stay safe laaaaandaners, hopefully will wake up to the army on the streets

 

[Huntingtons]

whatever started it i cant say, but i do know police violence and abuse of any form of power is a vile crime and way too often police gets away with it.
But then again, theres a much larger picture than just kids looting and causing havoc.

 

[yaruar]

Goddammitt, i'm supposed to be off to Camden tomorrow to listen to early 80s Anarcho Punks singing about Rioting youth in the streets of the UK.

 

[rynnor]

One reporter was saying that Scotland yard issued special stop and search powers in many areas and that in some cases use of these powers instigated rioting.

Be careful what you wish for?

 

[Ch3tan]

Reporter talking bollocks IMO rynnor, organised flashmobs for looting and nothing else.

There is a shop burning in clapham junction, I know it (worked for over a year on the street). Flats above it. Hope everyone is out.

 

[Huntingtons]

This is the worst media coverage I've ever seen. We get reporters in the heart of warzones, but not london during riots..

it does make you wonder tho, how accurate the reports from wars are then too, does it not?

 

[TdC]

The fact you just blindly call them all 'scum' is so frightening to me. Sadly I believe you represent the majority in that kind of belief.

tbh I'm a bit unsure what to call people that deliberately organize with the intent to riot and loot. surely you can't call them protesters any more?

The JD Sports line wasa bit tongue-in-cheek (although that particular establishment is getting more looted than most; wonder why?)

hehe you're very evil


To my London/UK based friends, please keep your heads down eh?

 

[caLLous]

However are they going to prevent a 4th night of this? It's not like the cunts are going to just stop of their own free will.

 

[rynnor]

curfew and the army.
