Apparently rioting in town...could continue til Friday or longer. What are the chances of the Reading match being called off? And do you think we should water-cannon them? (The rioters, not Reading)
Frankly I'm livid with the scum! Shoot them in the knees, chuck them bleeding in a starving rat infested jail with only water for 48 hours. Should do the trick and therefore game on for Sat! Up the foxes!
This obsession with water cannons...they will not work in these situations..that is not my opinion that is the opinion of a top cop who served in NI. they break up large crowds not small moblie gangs .... cerfew is need...anybody on the street after a certain time will be arrested or tasered or sprayed with a dye...so they can be picked up later...the real people who should be dealt with here is the disgraceful parents...shameful... im afraid to say..football has to take a back seat at the moment...i hate it but it is a fact....
Rubber bullets and the Army are the answer The mindless scummy ****heads should be sent to Afghanistan. Lets see how big and hard they are there. Why smash your own town its stupid and pathetic. They have to live in it. Granby st is trashed, curve theathre has been attacked. New look as well. They are just copying the ****heads in London and I find that pathetic Shoot the lot of them
no prime minister who put troops on the streets of this country would ever live it down, soldiers are trained to fight wars not patrol the sreets of our country, these are children and youths...not enemy armies...if the police and the people can't deal with these scum...what country are we living in?
"no prime minister who put troops on the streets of this country would ever live it down," Maybe True. That said with twitter and facebook this battle, kids included, is unprecedented. You tell the shop owners, home owners, shoppers, tourists, restaurant goers and locals directly affected by these scum, that they should rely on the struggling police as the only answer? Did you watched Sham Sharma on Sky news? An Asian shop owner in Wolverhampton who clearly works hard and built his business up. He expects his children to work hard for their future. His business his ruined. I guess he'd have like the army around tonight as he said the police stood watching his shop gutted by dozens of ****e....
well im an adult male...im not frightened of these scum..if every man who has a business comes out and joins other adult men to sort these punks out it would be over straight away.,..it looks like we have become a nation of gutless byestanders...not me...id get stuck into this trash....
we are many...and we ain't going to take it any more....the silent majority have got to get off their asses and sort it... it is written....
make hoods illegal..now!..lets see the cowards... anyway even the supreme being needs kip....im off...work in the morning..
The problem the Police have got is that idiots like the Daily Mail will crucify them if they're found to be using any violence against these people (i.e. student riots) so they're scared about what will happen to them hence this withdrawn approach. They forget about sods in the media and do what is right - the public will understand that. Where I think Cameron got it wrong is that he moved too many Police away from other areas and into London so that caused the pick-up in violence in Manchester etc. I don't think Water Cannon's are the answer because they're good for breaking up large crowds but on concentrated targets they're not that effective. If it carries on like it is I think rubber bullets should be used and if the Police can't cope then why not send the Army in. Obviously don't withdraw them from Afghanistan but the one's who are domestically based can help the Police out. I don't think it'd be embarrising for Cameron because it would sure deal with the problem. The one who comes out worse from all this is Theresa May who cut Police funding a few months back.
The cut backs has obviously caught up with us. Every person who is identified in the riots/looting etc should automatically get a 5 year prison sentence. Only problem is, our jails are full. Tell the police to shoot on sight!!! We are far too soft in this country. If the kids get hurt, then tough s**t!! You should be at home watching your own tv instead of looting them!!!! PURE SCUM!!!!!!!!
The law makes the Police look stupid. They have a baton let them use it, smack a few heads and that will put people off fighting with them. The police need to get respect off the thugs and the only way they will is through fear. Make their fear the police and they will all go home. Tonight we need to get the rubber bullets outs. That will calm the situation down massively
Or it could lead to gunwarfare? But I agree the time is coming where things like rubber bullets have to be used. And I don't think cuts are to blame, otherwise why are they attacking local shops and not the houses of parliament or council HQ's?
The using the cuts as a cheap excuse. Do you think after this the cuts are going to be bigger or smaller
"The cut backs has obviously caught up with us. " Rubbish. This is nothing to do with cuts. This is to do with a generation lost. A generation of feral youths with all manor of issues and little or no moral guidance committing wanton violence and robbery. They do it because our society has been allowed to develop into a namby pamby nobody can be wrong, nobody can be told off. Human rights, mass immigration, political correctness, fatherless homes and so on. Tottenham was the cork that popped. This has been simmering for a decade. I say get the scum of the street. Send them on a plane into Afghanistan and let them survive with real tough men, our soldiers, for a week!!
