I know that this will sound very Draconian (maybe reminiscent of China) but I believe anyone at the scene caught wearing a hoodie or a face mask should be arrested on the spot and anyone caught actually looting should be shot!!
Surely they'll call in the army?

Last night I posted a comment on the London's Burning thread accusing asylum seekers of being involved in the riots.
I now see the folly of such a prejudged statement & apologise wholeheartedly forthwith.
I am not, never have been or never will be a racist.
Thanks for listening.
I do as well, the joke I posted was ill timed & uncalled for so I really apologise for that, I just hope that it gets sorted quickly. The thing that angers me most is the sight on TV of people having to leave their homes as they feards for their safety, the child was crying, she was scared of what was happening
Guys I think you need to take the line we take over here. Water cannon and plastic bullets followed up with snatch squads and loads of CCTV footage for future arrests. Make a statement of intent on dealing with these criminals and watch the numbers dwindle as these people are nothing but thugs clinging on the coat tails of any excuse to cause havoc.

13,000 police on the streets today in London
I get a little sick of hearing from community leaders/youth workers and the like about unemployment, poverty and so on
I live in London and its been mental.
Some people have fought back though. My mate who lives in East Ham said the local Poles and Bangladeshis (sp) teamed up to defend their shops and gave some looters a good hammering and the Kurds defended their businesses in Dalston in a more vigerous manor than the police have been.
You won't see any water cannon as there are none on mainland Britain and to be honest they are to cumbersome for small London streets, would be a liability really and easily trapped. Will have to see what happens tonight.
The word is that a few hundred people are planning to meet up tonight and fight back. Not gangs or yobs, shopkeepers and locals.

Tear gas them?!.........
Dont see why they need 16000 coppers on the streets in London.
They only needed 7 cowboys in that Mexican village.
