Riots - Page 55

**Chris** · 10-08-2011, 17:17

I know, but there have already been gangs of boozed-up vigilantes on the streets in Manchester looking for an excuse to club a hoodie. Best to just steer clear of talk of violence altogether I think.

While the police may have been criticised for not being more proactive on the streets, the one thing they are very, very good at is gathering evidence online and from CCTV and then kicking people's doors in at 5am on a Sunday. Personally I want to steer many miles away from posting anything on the interwebs that might give them an excuse to pay my front door a visit. It's not very old and wouldn't look great hanging off its hinges.

(EDIT) and yes, as Sparkie says, in any case it was a general warning, not aimed at anyone in particular.

OK thanks for the clarification and also your time to PM about the subject as well

The Burmese army are the rioters, the missionaries are the innocent people on the street.

And this is what should happen to the rioters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goF6c3YrsF8

Just out of interest, I work in Enfield and here is a picture I took on the way to work on Tuesday.
My commute passes the Sony Distribution centre in Enfield. The chem plant where I work is about a mile or so from the sony centre.

A short vid i took on my blackberry.

Taken around 6:30 am.

I had assumed that the fire was recently started, but actually it had been burning before midnight.

12 years of being told you don't have to work to earn a living + 1 year of being told you do.

= institutionalised lazy youth that wants everything given to them without having to earn it ..... Get upset.

You should not be using a mobile whilst driving (naughty) But thanks for the pics.

In fairness, we don't know he was driving. He could have been a passenger..

Looking at the camera angle and also the position on the road, I would say that it was a safe bet that he was? Plus the amount of times that he used "I" in the statement.

I know. If it's any consolation, I never talk/text whilst driving, even before it became law. I was really just holding the blackberry whilst driving, and pointing it.

Apart from clearing up this is welcome as well.

1833: Danny Shaw Home affairs correspondent, BBC News The Prison Governors Association issues a veiled warning that jails may not be able to cope if the current "turmoil" on the streets continues.
The Association also reveals that prisoners have been moved from jails in London to accommodate those detained by the Metropolitan Police following the disturbances.

Whats the chances **** will get their hands on that too!

edit: how does Shaws comments help? who cares if there isn't space. theres a downside to speaking about it and keeping it to yourself, speaking is worse. doesn't take a genius to work that out!
