Catamong Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I took this photo about an hour ago from my office window on the 33rd Floor at Canary Wharf, the fire's well beyond the Olympic Stadium, I would guess it's around the Edmonton area, just looked again, still burning well. A lot of people here have gone home early, I hear some of the Stations are pretty clogged up. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) So now the news is reporting that Mark Duggan didn't shoot his gun... So what. He had a gun. If he held it in his hand, the police were well within their rights to shoot him, IMO. Edited August 9, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikka.223 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 pm to the rescue 16,000 police on the streets to night compaired to 6,000 last night all the cells are full so what are the going to do just chase them round the city all night again get the teargas rubber bullets and water cannons out how long do people think it will last dnt think it will end before the weekend Water cannons now cannot spray the rioters with water straight from the main tank,it now passes through a smaller tank in which the water is heated as its against human rights to use cold water(the same applies for using dye in the water).

Raja Clavata Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Errmm, I hadn't considered the scenes from Tottenham, Hackney and the like to be particularly representative of the ethnic mix of the rioters and looters on the national scale. Perhaps we all see / read what we want to. On the video with the lad who got robbed it was clearly a white guy who took something out of his ruck-sack. Ethnic mix looked about 33% white in that clip to me. Laying blame at ethnics isn't going to help one bit, like it or not these are British youngsters and as far as I'm concerned scum is scum, colour has naff all to do with it.

ack-ack Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2024035/UK-riots-2011-Twitter-RiotWombles-clean-march-yobs-devastate-London.html riot wombles are cleaning up London. I detected 0% ethnic riot wombles in the photos. I detected a fair few. The number was proportional to the number of white folk in the rioting pictures (that I have seen). Would have been nice to kettle the rioters in, thow them some brooms over the cordon and tell them that they aint coming out til its all sorted out. Then do them all for criminal damage.

vole Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Hear about the Turkish shopkeepers who actually chased the gangs off their streets ? Their family network has not broken down yet , neither has their sense of community hence they have the strength to stand up for what is right . lesson to be learnt off them I think . http://hackneycitizen.co.uk/2011/08/09/turkish-shopkeepers-stand-firm-rioters-dalston-hackney/ Edited August 9, 2011 by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 We have a club on the seafront on fire here, it has been reported by police as not linked with current current issues but it has stood there unused for nearly 6 years fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 apologies after my re education I now see that it is clearly 50/50. Eh? There are less than 10% non white riot wombles in the mail pics. Of the rioting footage I saw there were aproximately 10% white youths.

duncan Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Why do they give out a news broadcast on TV that the police are sending 50 officers from Bedfordshire to London tonight , now every bit of low-life in bedfordshire knows they are going to be shorthanded here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The rozzers are flying around by me now. Had a wander down the local higstreet earlier and theres a big 'white shop keeper/landlord and his mates' milling around... Serious atmosphere of NIMBY here.

Catweazle Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 We need some way to get the general public out and stopping the rioters.

kdubya Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) I took this photo about an hour ago from my office window on the 33rd Floor at Canary Wharf, the fire's well beyond the Olympic Stadium, I would guess it's around the Edmonton area, just looked again, still burning well. A lot of people here have gone home early, I hear some of the Stations are pretty clogged up. Cat. I was at a meeting in Wimbledon today, one of the office staff came in and said everyone out police want the place locked up? so 1300 we all tramp's out into the street and head for the tube, all the shops are closing shutters coming down etc, whether it was panic or not we don't know? but shortly after mobile networks were not available ( presume that's to stop the thugs organising the next "meet") either way quite intimidating, but good thing was I was back on a train and home by 1900 oh and you could see smoke rising from the east side of london at 10am this morning dont know what area that would be?
