London riots

[Flake]

Yeah, soccer fans tend to save their rioting for the World Cup.

The riots seemed to have been limited to mostly Birmingham, Manchester and of course, London. Few incidents in Leeds but nothing major and where I live (Hudersfield) there were a few copy cats. Some fucking idiots tried to loot a 24/7 Asda store (Walmart to you guys over the pond). They got as far as the parking lot before security sorted them out. They did manage to steal one of the ATMs out the front though. Good luck spending your now purple bank notes, if you can even work out how to open it...

For the most part the people rioting were complete fucking idiots, school drop outs, unemployed, or just misguided kids whose parents are morons. It actually makes me dispair for the populace that there are a high number of these people around. AND to make things worth they're breeding. Idiocracy here we come... Police should have shot them on sight. Do the gene pool some good.

The most retarded thing i've heard over the past week? "I'm getting my taxes back". Taxes from what? You're fucking unemployed and on benefits. YOU DON'T PAY TAXES. I wish I could fucking slap some sense into these people. I really do.

As for the guy that got shot. IF you're fucking dumb enough to point a gun at the police (regardless of whether it was fake or not) then you deserve to get shot in my opinion. Darwin at it's finest.

I always thought that was stupid: ATMs weigh so much so you're not going to get far with it, plus they're a bugger to get into.
I heard from one person that he looted because the police couldn't stop him, it was payback for all the times they 'harassed' him for nothing. Now of course they have his picture and will now actually have some evidence. It seems rather counter-intuitive to make a statement like that then actually commit a crime.
I'm glad it's all over, I was horrified when I heard Afflecks here in Manchester was looted.

Oh no, Afflecks? Really? I love that place. What a bunch of utter fucking shitbags, that place is all privately owned shops, I don't particular care about Currys, Dixons, Footlocker etc got looted, those companies are big enough to just write it off without even a thought. But Afflecks is all independent traders, people who can't afford to take the hit on their insurance. At least they didn't burn it down. If they had, then I would have been really fucking mad and endeavour to find their houses and burn them down, see how they like it. Little cunts.

Sums the rioters up very succinctly, fucking scumbag chavs: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/ne ... 560646.stm
