Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

Excellent point. Even the prison sentances are not those which will deter. I hope they make an example of these guys like they did with the bradford rioters many years ago.

Prisons are heaven for these people, they will love it there.

Plus they are so overcrowded with weed dealers and smokers, general pointless "criminals", i wish resources were spent on actual problems, so there'd be space for actual criminals.
 
I think a factor in all of this is that people know they can get away with it. They saw on the first 2 nights that the police couldn't really do much in the way of deterants (ie water cannons rubber bullets). I really do think if the country reacted quicker and in a more aggressive way then people would think twice. If this was any other country i think they would have come down a lot harder! I just think this countrys laws are too soft.

there was loads of footage in TV for petes sake of people looting with complete ease!! The media really didn't help in that regard. What do they expect when there's a population of people who are socially deprived? Its basically an advert to loot! [I saw an episode of screenwipe which mentioned about a similar topic, things that don't help in terms of media exposure etc]


The Media were actually quite restrained to begin with on the coverage. The first night, although there were live cameras they were so far back it was difficult to see what was happening. It was only that attack on the BBC team that gave any real sense of what was going on.

The footage of the Tottenham Hale retail park just showed opportunists mostly and how could they not report that it was happening and it took the Police a long time to respond.

If you were following this thread on Sunday and watching coverage, BBC and Sky News were so restrained that they were almost pretending nothing was even happening on Sunday night, despite pockets of trouble and a big disturbance in Bristol.

Agreed. Been following this every night since Saturday.

I think we should make our prisons more like the ones in the US. I don’t know the figure but i know it cost thousands to lock up criminals in this country, whilst the one I seen in America it was costing them like 2 cents per prisoner per day/week. Prisoners should pay for their own costs via being put to work as i think they were back in the days. I know in America prisoners are put to work and they get god awful meals/luxuries to cut costs. If it cost less to lock up prisoners we could then hand out harsher sentences without putting a burden on the economy.


Thats just insane. Hecki wouldnt mind a free trip to Alton Towers.
 
So who is fuelling this idea about young black people being excluded from society, is it an accurate assessment or is it just perpetuating a myth?

Over the years there have been massive changes to combat racism and discrimination. Are people like Darcus Howe and Lee Jasper doing more harm than good?

Yes they are doing more harm than good, they too like some politicians have no clue. They think they understand but again instead of Darcus telling his grand children they must work hard and study hard, he bring this rubbish of the boy being shot, The question he should be dealing with is what the hell does anyone want to be carrying a gun for, guns in the city are only used to kill people, why is a young man carrying a gun, why the hell this boys parents bring up their child in that way. I also believe the parents of that boy have no right to complain about the police. if he was not dealing with guns he would still be alive. if you live by the sword you will die by the sword. The parents of that boy should be blaming themselves.

These idiot speakers of the black community should keep their mouths shut. Boris appointed Ray Lewis as an adviser and he is one of a few i actually see doing a good job, but the the media seems to destroy the ones that are actually having a positive effect.

These boys are only robbing because they are too god dam lazy to work for the things they want, they are always looking for something for nothing. Its just greed and jealousy. nothing more nothing less. They steal what they want then they destroy because they are jealous because someone else has the guts to work hard for what they want. Then you have their parents believing the crap some of these leaders say to try and hide their own shame of how poorly they have taught their own children. in fact they look for excuses because they do not want to admit to themselves that they are responsible.

Lazy and useless most of them are. sorry useless is the wrong word they are just bone ideal lazy as my dad would say.

Ahh right fair enough :)

I agree with Lord Sugar that the Media should print the faces of those involved ala what happened after the student riots.
 
Oh my god, RACIST ALERT.

Im not Racist its just an observation of what i seen on tv the same as when the news people are doing reports in the street black people are jumping behind the news readers and acting like there enjoying whats happening.

Maybe it helps that i have a colour tv and maybe you might have a black and white tv and cant tell the difference between black and white people.

So if you have a BLACK & WHITE tv you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between BLACK & WHITE people? :p
