    And the majority of looters after the original riots hadn't a clue why they were doing it. They saw it on TV and thought it looked 'fun'.

    Still scum though, aren't they? Criminals, opportunists, feral kids, neglectful parents, gang members, drug dealing lowlife, whatever category they fall into, scum's the word.

    Exactly if Clegg could do nothing, what did they expect Cameron to do

    but they obviously knew it was wrong, whether it looked fun or not. they might be inbred ****wits, but they knew what they were doing was illegal. chuck the book at the ****s..society is better off without them..even if it will cost a small fortune to keep em caged up

    I heard one wee ****e say on the radio that he wasn't worried because he knew he wouldn't get put in jail as they are overcrowded as it is and it was his first offence. The stupid ****e didn't realise that it would mean a criminal record and he would not be able to get a passport or a job if he ever decided not to be a lazy, workshy piece of crap.

    Not all of society, just the members who have no respect for other people or their property

    on the contrary, i am adding the media into the realms of 'responsibility'

    the issue isnt about the 'scum' who did it
    its highlighting the 'scum' that instigated it, but now are trying to wash their hands off it

    i agree george
    however what i was trying to highlight is that some who were involved are not your 'usual suspects'
    as is being ascertained

    also i am not justifying their actions, i am putting th emedia into the mix as to being the same as the looters

    bollocks. the media may well go over the top, but that doesnt give anyone grounds for recking and destroying your own communities ffs. just because its the hot topic on all the channels doesnt give you the right to go out and destroy peoples lives.

    i wouldnt be surprised if you were in the middle of the rioting looting with them.

    Oh I know. I was surprised that people who had good jobs and comfortable lives were getting involved. What could be so awful in their lives that they feel the need to take it out on innocent people's businesses

    lol. i was in stoke your honour, honest

    i respectfully disagree with you. The media didnt just go OTT. They in essence provided the information
    They constantly made out that the police were helpless, and that people were making of with thousands of pounds worth of stuff with no one to stop them
    This i believe lead to some of the looting

    Again i agree that it doesnt justify it, i still think th escum should be strung up
    but the media played its part and i believe loved every second of it
    it was like christmas for the reporters
