Originally by: Grimpak I still feel mankind, as a whole, should suffer some sort of cataclysm (meteors coming crashing into us, somebody shooting nukes, bananaphones being released, etc..) so that it could get a culling.
and I do mean a nasty one, back to 1/10th of what we are now.
I'm sure your friends and family appreciate you wishing it'd be a good thing if they died.
hey, if you got to be fair, you got to be fair to everybody.
if I died in said cataclysm, so be it. that would mean that I wasn't worthy.
do I wish it for my family and friends? no, but I don't control who lives or who dies. ---

Originally by: Bart Starr I wouldn't doubt that police forces, especially in corrupt cities are capable of really rotten stuff. Like threatening to 'blow peoples brains out' simply for having a concealed permit.
In the battle between rioters and police, I will take the side of the police. However I have a healthy suspicion of them as well, especially in countries like the UK where they are doing their best to regulate every aspect of life. They even have 'KNIFE' control in england. (no knives over a certain length unless you are a chef) for chrissakes.
I think that your view of the United Kingdom is rather strange. Or do you really mean England and just England and not the other countries?
As for the knives being banned; it's not as simple and straightforward as you make it out to be. Is there a need for a youth in a hoodie to be carrying a ten inch knife on the Clapham omnibus but for someone out living in the sticks there may be a damned fine reason to have a knife. In fact, I tend to have a knife in my Barbour at all times.

Yet by your own words you still think it'd be a positive thing. I dare you to say that to their faces.

That's not unique to RIM, the police can request details from any mobile service provider, social networking site and any public phone box records. Depending on how thorough the police want to be they could even be data mining almost every text message or phone calls made in the riot areas and cross referencing location information on where certain phones have been.
If you want to avoid authorities snooping through your stuff you need to dump your phones and PCs altogether.

Originally by: Ultim8Evil I'm surprised to see that rioting has started in Liverpool now.
If my memory serves me correctly, the last time they all huddled together and started pushing and shoving, it didn't work out too well for them?
The true death toll at this event is horribly undereported and is much higher than 96.
I'd say it would have to be upwards of 5000 as every time the subject of Hillsborough rears it's head anywhere locally (I live in Murkeyside) you get 15 folk all claiming to have lost family or friends there.

Originally by: Bane Necran Yeah, i'm sure we can trust the police themselves to give a fair analysis of everything. I'm certain they'd be quite anxious to incriminate themselves and make things worse if they were at fault.
IPCC is not part of the police.

I told you! I told you they would use these riots for their advantage!!!
Daily mail
This part...
"Police have been given the right to unmask thugs bringing choas to Britain's streets and measures could be taken to clamp down on social media, David Cameron announced today.
The Prime Minister, in an emergency statement to the Commons on the violence, suggested sites such as Twitter could be closed down during periods of disorder to avoid co-ordinated unrest."
That's what iran does. Welcome to the UK.

Why would they care about Twitter when they're willing burning down the only place they can get their dole money?

Edited by: Othran on 11/08/2011 14:14:45 I think its worth reposting this here and I think we'd all be better people if we could be more like Tariq Jahan.
They are the words of a father whose son was murdered in Birmingham (there are videos all over the place of the man). He's appealing for calm a few hours after three people in a car drove over his son and others who were protecting their business :
"I donÆt blame the police, I donÆt blame the government. IÆm a Muslim: I believe in divine fate and destiny. It was his fate, his destiny, and now heÆs gone, and may Allah forgive him and bless him. Step forward if you want to lose your sons. Otherwise calm down and go home û please."
I don't believe in imaginary friends (gods) but how this man watched his son get murdered, performed CPR on him (your own child, its unimaginable horror to a parent) and still have the generosity of spirit to say what he said is almost enough to make you wonder.
What a man.

Clive Bloom interviewed by SPIEGEL (GT!)
Bloom: There's always a trigger. Previously, this was really harassment by the police, who was 30 years ago, much more racist than today. Today, the police conduct is only one justification. These kids see the stores with things that they want. It is a huge robbery. Except that not a single person will be deducted, but even a whole business. Then you earn by selling the goods. There is street capitalism - the young people imitate it, do what the bankers at the other end of the spectrum.

Don't be daft. All us rioting dole-scum get our bludge paid directly into bank accounts these days... no post-office neccessary.

Bugger me thats some strong right wing American biased reporting going on there. Also some rather big lies too. At no point did the police stand down, they were simply massivly over-extended and unable to move in to arrest people becacue it took everything they had just to hold the lines.

Rubbish, numerous police blogs from serving coppers have said they were ordered to 'hold the line'.
Watch this for actual proof. From people in the neighbourhoods.
They were 'holding the line' when people were only feet away smashing stuff up. So don't spout such bull please.

Amazon removed the items because of corporate image, they don't want to be seen arming either rioters or vigilantes. Amazon regularly pulls different goods down to maintain its image so its nothing new.

Somebody gets it.
why work for a living if it's going to be stolen out from under you in a fixed game? it may be a touch oversimplified, but how many bankers were hauled off to jail for theft or fraud? how many were even named or prosecuted? how many were even investigated? zero zip nada and this is status quo.
