Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

[Strife212]

I wonder if the Army will have to be called in like in LA!

 

[muon]

Won't the registration plates give the idiots away at tottenham hale?

 

[Tefal]

if you were there now, would you just go home or do a wee bit of looting first?

I hope so.. Would stop people being ****s.

 

[dakaiez]

I'd set up the cannons if I were you.

Tell me about it, although a little way away. It most likely won't come down here as it's a residential area and not a main road with shops on.

It's better they are kept where they are, it's mainly shops in that area and a few houses.

You're not aloud to use the army on US soil.

Hard to say.

 

[Rameses]

Wonder if this will affect Wembley game tomorrow, travelling wise?

Where is the nearest army base that holds solders? It would take a long time even if they were called apon now.

Okay, the "National Guard".

Thousands of National Guard were deployed in LA.

Thousands of £s of stuff being looted and not a single police officer in sight #Tottenham

They really have lost all control, haven't they?

It would be good if there were some actual pictures or confirmed news sources of this looting of the Retail Park, rather than this guy on Twitter an the other on LBC claiming people leaving with eight TVs each.

Tottenham Hale Retail Park is huge:

If people are really looting this by the car load, as they are claiming that will destroy the businesses operating there and I can't see how the Police could standby and do nothing.

The national guard was mobilized during some of the national disasters the US faced.

Insurance will take the hit, not business.

From twitter: “@A1: Reports: Paul Gascoigne has just got off the tube in #tottenham carrying a fishing rod, larger and some chicken pot noodles”

LOL

 

[Tefal]

I doubt it would destroy ASDA part of the largest company on earth, or any of the others able to afford a place there given their massive insurance policies.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Poorly handled now tbh. By letting it spread to other areas, the people involved will be too widely spread for it to be brought to a swift end.
