TONY MAYO Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 In the land of Banksy and Dubstep trouble is brewing. Last two nights London has suffered the worst riots in 20 years with people taking to the streets, fighting police, burning cars and buildings and looting homes and businesses. On August 4th police killed 29 year old Mark Duggan in Tottenham, north London, during an arrest. The man allegedly resisted arrest and opened fire on the officers. People gathered outside a Tottenham police station to protest, including the victims friends and family. Riots followed and have now spread to other London neighborhoods.

TONY MAYO Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 BBC World News won't shut up about it. I guess Bill ORLY is still trying to figure out how to spin this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ink face Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 yeah i always feel like this type of thing is going to start happening in the states with all the murders by police being brought to light, but everyone is too scared/complacent and nothing ever happens except some peaceful sit-ins, or a mild protest.

eattingsnowflakes Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Did I hear something about a train getting painted during these riots or some windows getting smashed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoHuxtable.. Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 So they're rioting because cops shot back at a dude that was shooting at them? I thought you only riot if it's police brutality and the dude wasn't posing a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poes Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 "Why did one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret - the a million other straws underneath it...it's all mathematics" There aren't actually any reports saying the police were fired at as far as I am aware. Although they did recover a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, I have been sitting here drinking wine and watching this shit on tv. The young 'thug' population of London has basically gone completely feral and decided to take over the streets in most of the shittier areas of london. Building barricades and burning everything in sight. It started on saturday night in Tottenham, with buses, cop cars, houses, buildings getting smashed and burned, then they started looting all the local shops and larger electrical outlets. Tonight it has spread to 4 areas of london with kids taking on the police and burning cars and looting. Nothing near my gaff thank fuck. Anyone starts any shit round here and all the middle class residents will go to bed. Yeah, Im a baller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
