Professional criminals definitely are. Reports of men in BMWs arriving in previously quiet areas, inciting trouble and then looting local stores.
Woohoo (you C***)
Is that for real?

Yes and they're now robbing innocent bystanders as well as businesses.

This is how Koreans dealt with the 1992 LA riots.

There was a time when I felt the same way. I'm pleased to say I've since changed.
In any riot situation feelings become inflamed on both sides and people say or do things which they wouldn't normally do and regret later.
I've been there, done that.

Watching the live coverage on the BBC website at work.
I am horrified and disgusted and saddened at the same time. I may have moved away but I love England and I am speechless. There is nothing political about what is going on; thugs thieving as far as I can tell. Why? I don't know - but I guess it's an adrenalie rush to be chased by police, the change to stick it to authority, boredom and no fear of recriminations. I see it in Schools everyday where kids tell teachers to F*** off when asked to do work or challenged about beating some other kid around the head. There is nothing that teachers, police or any authority figures can do about it other than 'restorative justice' and give them a big hug. That is also why the Police can only stand by and watch the looters - because if they do anything somehow the Police would be in the wrong - damned if you do and damned if you don't.
All the rights and no responsibility.

I really just can't get my head around all this. Are parents in some way to blame for not teaching their children right from wrong?
I have been totally broke before in the past. Totally penniless. I recall a time where I was living in a house with no hot water, no electricity, mould on all the walls and rotten floorboards that would give way at the slightest touch. I had 16p to last me a whole week at one point for all my food, everything. At no point did I think about stealing or looting or robbing or rioting.
I was brought up to know right from wrong. I have never shoplifted or stole and if I had been walking past a shop with its windows smashed and goods laid out readily and easy just to pick up and take during these past few nights i would have just walked on by. My parents taught me right from wrong! You don't steal, you don't rob, you don't cheat.
I can see no vindication for this whatseover. I don't care what your background is, there is right and there is wrong!!
I hope the police are able to arrest every single person who has burnt, stole, looted and robbed during this shameful incident.

This is incredibly upsetting and distressing.
I am truly ashamed of my British roots when this is how sections of our youth are being portrayed around the world.
However, this is nothing to do with being 'liberal' - which means respecting every person's beliefs and rights.
And it is most certainly as far from PC as you can get.
How are the riots a direct result of political correctness?

firstly i cant believe what is going on ...... cant find the words to describe how i feel about these low lifes
secondly i am dumbfounded by some of the rubbish spouted as justification....... "these kids have nothing they have been forgotten" this would be the same kids driving off in a car with looted goods would it
or "this is the only way we can get our message across" really! how the hell does that justify ruining someones livelihood or burning down shops and homes
"we get picked on by the police" - not because the police see a potential for trouble then ? which has been proven right by the very actions of "protest"
THis started as a peaceful protest - no problem with that. It has been hijacked by criminal elements out for personal gain. It has nothing to do with rights of our youth, social deprivation, the right of protest. It is criminal, violent and selfish.
This is people thinking the world owes them something - so they are damn well going to take it - lock them up!

...and then you see a shining light in the darkness. Two people help out an injured person and assist him to safety.
Oh, what's that? They end up opening his backpack whilst helping him and rob him.
That just sums up this whole sorry state of affairs.
People instinctively know right from wrong. I don't give a shit what upbringing you have, no-one of sound mind believes that they are doing nothing wrong. :jerkit:

You have to remember that these kids are from deprived communities. They don't have the latest iphone or trainers or gold jewellery. It's hard for us to imagine the suffering they endure everyday not being able to enjoy the basics of life that we all take for granted such as fresh plasma TVs and those fashion essentials. Until we undestand that they are the true victims of these riots and not the so called innocent people who have lost everything the sooner we will mend broken Britain.

I hope that is tongue in cheek?
The villa shop was looted yesterday - 200 shirts got thrown back in
List of solutions to the problem:
1. Water Cannon
2. Rubber bullets
3. Police Dogs
4. Tear Gas
5. The army
That took me 30 seconds to think of and type, why is it taking the government 3 days+ to implement even one of those?

I'm sure it is, because from my own expierence of working in areas like these, it's the people who sit around doing nothing all day that have the luxuries. They seem to hold material objects in high regard, it's us normal people who work for a living that seem to be more cautious with our money and spend it alot more wisely.

and all the fourteen year old girls wandering the streets at midnight - shouldn't they be at home looking after their kids?
