I think that just about sums it up.
Day 3 of rioting, gathering speed. Not just North London anymore. East London. South East London. Fires. Stores smashed. Looting.
This is one of those times when I'm glad I'm in a part of London that people always overlook.

but is it too late to pull the plug on it.
just watching croydon burning now... is deptford where the olympic stadium is??
Nothing to do with anger, protest, politics, etc. Just wanton destruction & looting. No further agenda than that. Disgusting. It's the people who have their homes torched and their little business burned down who have the right to be angry. Not those idiots with their hoodies and scarves around their faces.
Absolutely. I just hope nobody gets caught in any of those fires - like you said, some of these places they're burning have homes above them.
Time to bring in the army?
I hope the violence is contained soon. Good luck!
Don't know what else to say.
:(
this is it ^
for no reason. just violence for the sake of violence. stupid, irresponsible, moronic people who don't think about any of the consequences that others will have to face.
on the news, there was a woman whose home - flat - was burnt down. to the ground. destroyed. why? what has she done? absolutely nothing.
those hooded and cloaked people who are doing all of this - disgusting and pathetic and i hope karma gives them what they deserve.
i'm very angry about this, i have family there and loved ones and now it's spreading to birmingham too?

As someone just said on the BBC: They don't care, they have no respect for human lives.

they have no respect for their own areas
their own community
their own neighbours
their own shops
it's disgusting and a disgrace for the country
Combine that with the fact that these kids have clearly have no respect for safety of others in causing wanton public damage...
Doesn't that make them terrorists?
Doesn't that translate into shoot to kill, when people with the guilty mind cannot be deterred from their ongoing actions?
Sounds like there ought to be a PROPER hunt. With rifles and whatnot.
Yeah, they're called bankers.
Well, there's no simple cause and effect. On Thursday, a man called Mark Duggan was shot by police. Initial reports stated that he was armed and there was an exchange of gunfire. However, ballistics reports suggest that the only bullets fired - including one found in a police officer's radio originally claimed to have been fired by a gun from Duggan - were police- issue dum dum bullets. A gun was found near Duggan, but it emerged that it hadn't been fired.
An angry crowd descended on Bruce Grove police station in Tottenham on Saturday night, peacefully demanding answers. They had to wait five hours for police to appear. What happened next is sketchy. Some people say that a sixteen year- old girl who had been at the church across the road started shouting at police; others say she threw a stone. What did happen next was that she was 'set upon' by police:

This incident was allegedly the event that sparked the following riots. However, after a couple of hours, looters were arriving from various locations in London to pillage and commit arson in Tottenham. Police numbers, cut by the government, were already stretched. Wilful opportunism and entrenched hatred of the police have led to mass rioting and lootings, co-ordinated via Blackberry phones and social media, across the capital and beyond. There have been three nights of rioting all over the capital now. Tonight, there are reports of riots in Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool. The violence right now seems to have no direct connection with the circumstances and indignation regarding Duggan's death: it seems to be people erupting partly spontaneously, often psychotically, but as I say with some strange method of premeditated co-ordination between united gangs, at the expense of struggling businesses. Shopkeepers and business people have no right to bear arms, so they're defenceless while the police are stretched to breaking point.
Basically, it's mad. One could sociologise that this is an inevitable event in the evolution of late capitalism, predicted by Marx (with the underclass mimicking the aggressive thefts of the City), or one could blame the hot summer nights or interplanetary allignments. Or Yoko Ono. Fuck knows. I don't know anymore.

Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it's all gonna blow right now:.
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples' ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slavedrivers live
It's walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighbourhood
Burning to the ground instead
[Chorus]
Riot-the unbeatable high
Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
Get your kicks in quick
They're callin' the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don't get caught
Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don't fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun
[Chorus]
The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now
The raging mob has lost its nerve
There's more of us but who goes first
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they've won
It's all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please
[Chorus]
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
Black people gotta lot a problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick
An' everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
An' nobody wants
To go to jail!
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it
Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants
To go to jail!
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
Are you taking over
or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards
Or are you going forwards?
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
There is no excuse for this.
