Riots in London

The violence which erupted after a protest over the fatal shooting by police of Mark Duggan on Thursday gone out of hands! And now i think it has nothing to do with his death or anything else-now it's just an excuse for thugs to let loose..disgracefull! Teenagers and adults were said to have turned up in cars to Tottenham's retail park and filled their boots with stolen items, unimpeded by police.
Others arrived on foot and piled shopping trolleys high with looted electronic goods, a local woman said. I bet those people don't even know why the protests started in the first place..


Pilareño currently living in london. Disgusting situation. Pleople are mad burning cars, buildings, shops are being looted and thieves taking advantages to steal whilst people are sleeping in their own houses. A lot of people have being arrested and cells in london are full already. Emilio

A big problem the UK police have is that the thugs and hooligans here in Uk are so quick to shout Police brutality when strong measures are taken against them. The criminal elements in our midst are supported by the 'do-gooders' looking after the 'human rights' of the thugs. Terrible state of affairs

The biggest problem with policing in the UK is this: The punishments do not fit the crimes.......i believe people would think twice about behaving disgustingly and with no respect for other people if
1- Prisons were prisons to fear ie. prisons with rooms 6 x 6 ft with a simple bed and nothing more
2 - The justice system went back to capital punishment

Human Rights are a joke, when you break the law you lose any and all human rights you had, not gain more when you have broken the law.

The victims of crime suffer far worse than those who committed it, and to my mind this is morally incorrect.
