Well this is getting silly now...

This is the third day of trouble, and it's apparently getting nastier. Massive police presence, cars/buildings/businesses on fire.

Didn't realize London police carried guns. Why was the man shot in the first place?

Is that a poor, working class section of London?

This is why we cant have nice things, idiots on the streets

So why did this start? This is the first time I have heard of this. EliteM0nk3y

I live in Canada. And I haven't been reading the news lately, so this is new to me.

[QUOTE="markop2003"] The guy who was shot was arrested in an anti-gun crime operation... TBH it dosn't seem like they have any good reason to riot, they're just rioting because they canmarkop2003

I heard about it and saw it on the news a couple days ago from America. So it seems like it's more a lack of interest on peoples part than anything.trick_man01

Basically a guy fired at some armed police, so the police shot back, now those idiots are pissed.

The riotors are saying the police executed the guy shooting him in the head or something.

So the only logical solution is burning random buisnesses and cars people had had nothing to do with the crime own.

This whole thing seems ridiculous, from the little I've read about it. But then again, if you youtube "chavs" I guess it's understandable, these kind of persons are probably the one rioting.

The peaceful vigil was ruined by the rioting. I understand that people shouldn't lay down but that doesn't mean mess everything up.

Sweet, another excuse to post this song!

What's up with Europeans and rioting? The U.S. has a comparable population to Western Europe with a fraction of the riots.KC_Hokie

as a football fan i find that kind of insulting. Football matches happen every weekend, so where are all these riots you speak of? The 70's and 80's would like their stereotypes back.

And the worst part is that the police in our country can use pretty much no force at all to stop it, I want to go back to the days when if you were bad in the UK police gave you a smack tround the head with a stick.V4LENT1NE

Unfortunately they still do that, which is part of the problem..
