A bunch of chavs setting everything on fire and looting everything.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]so why are they rioting?[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis][quote=caucheka] so why are they rioting? [/quote] Their excuse was a guy called "Mark Dunnam" (Edit: Actually not, something like that though). He got shot since he had a gun, though he didn't fire at a police officer. It's pretty clear now that these riots aren't because of that, but I guess that sparked it for some odd reason. Everything's on fire - and some of this is disgusting. Edit: http://yfrog.com/0wtduz Fucking scum of the earth.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]VIVA LA REVOLUCION! No, but seriously. These guys are just using that shooting as an excuse to loot shops, mug people and burn shit down. None of them actually care what happened. Also I heard that the guy who got shot was shooting at police first.[/quote]

[/quote] Though that is untrue - and he didn't shoot at police first, you're 100% right that it'# just an excuse to loot and burn.[/quote]

[/quote] He had a gun out I'm no spokesman by any means but if someone pulls out a gun in a public area, do you neutralize them before they take action or do you wait until they take action in order to justify actions of your own? Anyways, are people just rioting for shits and giggles? This makes no sense wtf.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]This isn't America y'know, our police don't even carry guns except in special circumstances. From what I heard he was sat in the back of a taxi when he was shot. If it was up to me yes, I would wait until there was a clear threat to people's lives before shooting a man. And yeah...there's quite a lot of people in our country who are somewhat thuggish. Seems they're taking this chance to go wild.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=Luther3000] I would wait until there was a clear threat to people's lives before shooting a man. [/quote] A gun isn't a clear threat? o.o The culture is probably pretty lost on me so if I'm saying stupid shit feel free to ignore it.[/quote]
