    BBC News - London riots: Dozens injured after Tottenham violence

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...ruction-in-Tottenham-Brixton-and-Enfield.html

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8687177/London-riots-live.html

    I'm sorry but am I the only one that thinks this is completely mindless?
    What started as a protest over the death of a man shot by police, escalated in a full scale riot.
    Been going on for days now.

    No one I have spoken to can actually find a reason as to why people are looting and burning down buildings because its nothing to do with why it started in the first place. Now they have also apparently tried to kill a policeman.

    Really hope it does not spread to where I stay.

    What's you guys thoughts?

    I think liberal migration laws is the reason of these riots, and not only. Paris (summer 2009), Italy (this summer). Some of that niggas, arabs etc think, that they shouldn't work and country need to feed them, give them money...Multicultural society - epic fail of 21st century.

    What makes their protests any more different than any other going on in the world?

    Hmm?
    Did I say anything to do with that?
    No O.O
    I was pointing out that there are many protests in London, that was it :p
    This one has just gotten out of hand.

    They should start using grenades instead of pansy tear-gas etc.

    Lol, Static.

    I am not saying their protests are any different from any going on in the whole, entire world.
    This is simply the one I chose to post a thread about, because it's in the UK: Where I live.

    That better?

    The reason why he was shot isn't clear yet, but basically. Guy got shot by police, people protested.
    It turned into a full scale riot
    Where now people seem to be more interested in destroying buildings and stealing everything they can get their hands on.

    Grenades would make them rioters finally gtfo once and for all though. Whether they die, or just leave lol.

    Like I told Static, rioters only make it worse for everybody else. It's like being the only good kid in class, but you still get in trouble because of the majority.

    Bunch of bloody idiots, the riots started over the police shooting a 'respected' member of the street crowd, gang member. It set off a chain of angry idiots that led to others joining for no reason other than to loot. Basically now it's a bunch if idiots thinking they're 'sticking it to the man' by attacking businesses, endangering and threatening lives then walking out with a free pair of nikes.

    Bloody fking idiots.
