this is really sad

England should not be like this, i know we have issues but rioting and burning buildings down is not the way forward.

As I've said before, we don't have a paramilitary police force so we fortunately won't be seeing such scenes.

So you'd rather watch innocent good men having bricks thrown at them by yobs?

Lovely.

If this carrys on with the fires people are going to die. these idiots need to be caught.

I wonder if the police cuts will get cancelled now, lets face we are skint but we cant be cutting police/army people when unrest like that is started so easily.

We've been going backwards since the 90's thanks to Labour

Lots of criticism of the Met going around.

I don't want to sound condescending but it is from people who don't understand public order policing.

I think a lot of people are getting angry these thugs are effectively walking all over the Police, it's really upsetting to see these brave guys with their hands tied. I wish there was something they could do.

How long can this go on till the Army have to come in and secure the area, surely its only a matter of time?

it's got to be close

Can they not bring out rubber bullets and open fire? Water canons? Tear gas? This is pathetic, every single person involved in the riots is a scam of the earth, good for nothing future criminal if not already a criminal

Did someone just shout '****' during that policeman's interview?

cheets64 · 8 Aug 2011 at 20:58

And think all this from one gangster bloke killed by the police.

These are people's homes being destroyed, not commercial premises, people's HOMES. I condemn anyone that tries to give reasons behind this nonsense. Don't go spouting "oppression" or other crap like that, there is NO excuse or explanation for destroying people's homes and putting their lives in danger.

These rioters should be getting charged with attempt murder where possible.

Geez, crazy pics of several fires in Croydon on Sky News, disgrace!

Nate Silvers · 8 Aug 2011 at 20:59

Feel so bad for the people living yards away from the burning buildings and the madness.

I could cry, peoples homes and lives are being destroyed. I cannot believe the things I am seeing on the tv.

Grimley · 8 Aug 2011 at 20:59

I don't think London will have seen this many fires since 1666!
