I agree that morality should come from the home, but when you have generations of problems within a community its very easy for a moral vacuum to develop.

What would you do shoot them, lock them up for 30k a year? What is the solution?

Well, what would you propose? It's pretty clear that there is no simple or easy solution, and I think your proposals of shooting or locking up are hopefully jokes because obviously both are ridiculous. Jail does not work, this has been proven over and over again. But I also think it's wilfully ignoring fundamental problems to push this as a "society's problem" because then it always becomes someone else's problem, someone else's responsibility, never the individuals or the family's. Personally, I would start there. Instead of whinging about a situations, get involved with efforts to make it change, like people at charities like street soccer do, or Kids Co- there are hundreds of them in London and across the UK- as I mentioned my friend's work in Hackney before, this is often deliberately sabotaged by the very people they are trying to help- so why aren't the community & the families joining forces to put a stop to this, and instead placing blame on schools or governments? If you're combatting gang violence, knife violence, lack of work, high school failure rates, begin at home.

OK, I could go on about this at length, FYI I'm studying an MA in education in international development, focussed on conflict zones; having closely examined some of the hideous atrocities that went on in Sierra Leone, Sudan, Uganda etc etc, and continue to go on around the world, frankly, if the most that you are upset about is being stopped and searched, and unemployment in a country that has free education, healthcare and benefit support, then you're bloody lucky.
 
Out there with these rioters it must be a temptation to be god. Because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil; and good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point
 

Just back from the Everton shop, I saw loads of Police cars flying past.

Didnt see any opressed yooths in hoodies tho.

By the way, nice work on removing the rioter from the forum, bye Suits, see you again soon no doubt.
 
I'm looking for a pair of Adidas Originals Porsche.

Modern britain is too worried in giving people a slap nowadays.

We used to be good a dishing out slaps and keeping people in check, heck we built an empire on it....

now look at us...can't even control a couple of 16 year olds on bmxs from raiding currys and burning buildings down.

Just want to reiterate my stance. I dont condone looting or indiscriminate violence.

There are legitimate targets but for the most part these aren't being attacked - although my heart was warmed to see a Ladbrokes smashed in. Unfortunately its small businesses that are getting it - I imagine the police would go like **** if people tried to raid a tescos. Scenes of muggings are bitterly disappointed but then these aren't revolutionaries - just an angry poor isolated and much abused section of the community - round here it was a majority of young blacks and stop and search ignited it.

So villify these people all you want and perhaps for the most part they deserve it. But they are a symptom of a disease. The real disease is poverty, inequality and you must look to politicians, corporations, media oligarchs and the kind of scurrilous media that supports the false agenda's and propaganda, demonising the poor and the vulnerable rather than pointing the blame to the rich and the powerful. If there hadn't been such a land grab by the richest strata in society recently, causing a recession and cuts its doubtful any of this would happen.

The more these riots continue, the greater the chance at society breaking down; and even though I live in the middle of these areas (right in hackney - burning cars at the end of my street, I watched part of it frm my window) I can't help want to see that because our democracy is a complete joke.

Burn Downing St Burn.

If these lids are fuming at capatalism then they are more than welcome to go and live in Russia or Cuba and enjoy the luxurious benefits systems that these kind of societies provide. Problem solved.

The Independent Police Complaints commission says ballistic test results so far show no evidence that a handgun found at the scene of the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan had been fired. It says the Forensic Science Service is carrying out further tests to confirm this. The IPCC says the Forensic Science Service has also confirmed that the bullet lodged in a police radio was police issue and consistent with being fired from a police gun.


Oh dear.

No no, they didn't hit the guy a few times, they executed him on the street. Black man surrounded by gun wielding coppers. I wonder how long it will take fr the CCTV to get ''lost''.

Normally the victim of an "execution" isn't carrying a loaded gun are they?
Poor "FATHER OF FOUR" surrounded by gun wielding coppers, and he only had the one loaded gun himself FFS.
