London Riots - It is really kicking off all over

We had the L.A.P.D. Uprising in 1992 after white L.A.P.D. police were let off scot free for beating a black man on TV.

Nearly 20 years later, U.S. white police are still on secret orders from the Ku Klux Klan to assasinate black men whenever they can.

Unfortunately good cops are executed in retribution and the cycle of viilence goes on.

I can recall tit for tat lynchings of blacks vs. stabbings or shooting of whites when I was in the U.S. Marines in the 1950s.

It's senseless and nobody wins.

My wife is Persian and says during the Bronze Age, the emperor of Persia integrated whites, blacks, and browns.

For thousands of years since then Persia has had no segregation based on skin color, i.e. the cities and towns are like the city of Havana and the countryside of Cuba where my parents were born.

Pretty remarkable that Bronze Age Persia solved what the UK and US haven't a clue about.

Even been a riot in Ealing where I coach.

Not quite sure why as the average house costs £1m and I certainly can't afford to live there!

You coach in Ealing and haven’t seen something like this coming for years?

Just look at the areas in London where rioting, burning, looting and lawlessness has broken out - note the common factor?

The same as it was in the Los Angeles riots of 92.

At least there, some shopkeepers, like the Vietnamese, had guns to defend their property - the spineless English only have a neutered police force to defend them, apparently by standing by and simply watching the savages riot, burn and loot.

One community I hear, had the balls to get together with baseball bats to defend their property - the Turks.

Ironic.

I see a football international against the Dutch at Wembley has been called off.

Bodes well for the 2012 Olympics.

Yay. Let's here it for the Kurds getting their baseball bats out.

I'll never criticise those people for being a pointless drain on the country's resources ever again, honest.

They make this country as great as it is today with all their hard honest work.

The savage English still illegally occupy 6 counties of Ireland. English gov't militants are allowed to murder Irish, blacks, Asians, Arabs, and Chinese in those occupied counties and in England w/o prosecution. No wonder people are rioting, England is a backwards barbaric land of smelly European savages.

You're a funny guy. You post this sort of stuff on any thread about Europe every day.

I reckon there were already some quite severe mental health issues underlying anyway, but what was it that happened that managed to tip you over the edge?

Your country sucks.

Unfortunately the British people will not be satisfied until a number of police officers are killed in justifiable retaliation for the cold blooded murder by police of an innocent citizen.

I prefer the word 'citizen' to be replaced by 'armed drug dealer'.

"Cold blooded murder by police of an innocent armed drug dealer".

There. That's better.

What a sniveling Uncle Tom you are. Get up off your knees and stop licking the hand that beats you

The mistake was not letting foreigners in, the mistake was not integrating them.

Foreigners (other races and religions) don't mix, multiculturalism is a lie and a failure. Round the rioters up, and drop them off into Africa, or Arabia, or wherever.

Of course they were, because jurors saw the full video tape, it was obvious the Rodney King deserved beating, not just the short clip that the liberals media used to set off the riots.

Guess the pigs in the UK are like the British soldiers in Afghanistan. The cause of death so far of every British soldier has been from a rifle shot in the back while running away from the Taliban. No wonder the royals refuse to send Harry boy to the front lines.

Wow-- what a great thread.

Everyone's explanation for the causes of the riots tells us more about that person than it does the rioters.

It's Helter Skelter baby! I been telling you for decades that it's coming. Well now it's here. Only thing you can do now is figure out what side you're on!

I also expected a bit more from this thread, like some insight into British culture. Instead just more dribble from s.emitic guy and like minded sorts. I'd imagine war plus bailout of the corporate class plus slashing of public funding for everyone else to pay for the mess was a bad combination.

Why are they voting down water cannons? Break out the water cannons and knock those fvckers down.

There is nothing lower than looters and rioters. They should all be killed.

so what is your take on it, being from the UK?[/quote]

Bored kids and police held back from doing their job

Well it what started off from something different. This attitude from the girlfriend of the guy the police shot, paraphrased sums it up 'He would never had a gun he would have run off, he was a runner (I've check no he wasn't). He would never have had a gun. If he did have a gun they should have shot it out of his hand'

The initial trouble was started by the attitude of people similar to her. It nothing to do with race in my opinion. Well maybe a bit! There are just certain people who are just too thick to understand anything and do not have a father figure to stop them doing what they should not be

Back to the kids who are running around now. Most of them are not old enough or intelligent enough to be worrying about jobs or careers

When I was younger there used to be loads of football violence it’s not much different to that. The only thing then was at least the idiots were beating up on each other

Next to the police. I've yet to see on pictures of the police actually using their batons and I'm sure plenty have been looking for that opportunity on their mobiles. Then they have tried to use containment and backing off rather than attack. Well the obvious then happens barricading, fires and looting. I wonder how many of the 300 arrested are still in nick. Probably about 5

What is the deal with football violence? What is wrong with you people?

Are you animals?

BBC 15:24: Scotland Yard says 525 people have been arrested in relation to the riots, 310 of them between 16:00 BST on Monday and Tuesday morning. Ninety-nine people have been charged and of 32 cases heard at court, 18 of those individuals have been remanded in custody.

The rest out again tonight, brilliant!
