Title: What do you think about the stuff happening in England?

What do you think about the stuff happening in England?
All those people that are destroying stores burning cars , and i think 4 people are dead. It has been 4 nights since the night of disorder happened. And no i don't think this started because of a policeman killing someone they are just using that as an excuse for all the damage they are doing...

Yea but those riots in London are all over the media... I hope everything works out without death of innocent people... I don't care if they have stolen expensive stuff from shops like phones , laptops etc...

I think it's a sign of what's to come for the west. If our governments keep up with policies that hurt their citizens people are gonna take to the streets.

Haha, no we're not. You're probably too young to remember the LA riots after the 1992 Rodney King verdict. I'd say the nation as a whole has become terribly passive in the last decade or so, though.  :(

Love that song!

With all the tension and stupidity of congress as of the late, I can guarantee a riot will hit America soon. I will likely partake such an event takes place. Don't forget that I live in a large city, so yeah... the means is definitely here for one.

Back at work and all dandy :D  thanks, we got evacuated by the police from the area!  I was up for smashing some criminals in the face but they never came.

This whole thing is because our police get in trouble if they're heavy-handed, so now they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.  Because the looters are mostly kids, they are being way too sensitive than they should be.  We wish they'd bring the water cannons and rubber bullets out.  Heck, I'd join in.  Looters are just scum, thieving scum.  It's kids having a fun time rioting because until now they were getting away with it.

Are rubber bullets anything special or do they just sting like shit?

These things happen in England every now and then, maybe more in the 70s and 80s with economical difficulties and segregation...

I will only join a riot if there is a damned good reason.

Not really - she's been dead for a long time, but I think everyone dismisses all your rants anyway.

Talking about King Charles

You are the defacto Prince of the worlds nation, and you inherit all the benifits of being royal. Your married to a princess, who has been looking foward to this her entire life, she is respected by the entire world, and is practically seen the equal to Mother Teresa. You cheat on her for a sucubus, for which she even cuts herself, and stay with her just to make babies, because your mother said so. You are the father of the world, and screw your birth right over for some stag.

However I guess L_E_T being invovled with Squaresoft, shows us how much citizens of the worlds nation, cares about the Common Wealth ( with my head in snooty position 45° angle up, non-Obama Edition ).

The guy who the police took down, wasn't so clean and had an illegal weapon, but let's not jump to early conclusions.

Still, the rioters used the taxi driver's death as an excuse to start this whole madness.

It's not about getting their rights back, they're just doing it because they want and it's probably kind of fun to them.

To those who said "I don't care about this" think about where you live, most of FamicomWorld users are from US, so a riot like this is likely to happen in the future over there, maybe even worse.

UK needs to lock their doors to immigration, hell, I've lived in UK for 10-11 years in London (not any more -- left the country like 2 months ago) and finding British English people.. Just were rare to be seen around.

They left their own country for another because it has better quality of life, weather, food, etc.

Very disappointed, I am. :-\
