Cowboy10uk Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Now things are getting really bad, with several riots ongoing in a few different city's, my prayers goes out to all DCS members who are caught up in this. Please keep your heads down and stay safe. Nearest riot to me is 1o miles away, fingers crossed they will head the other way or at least stop before they get here. Keep in contact guys and gals. Be safe.

Hellfire257 Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Drop a CBU on them and all will be well (as long as you're not using 1.1.0.9 :D). I actually can't think why they feel the need to riot.
Mustang Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Watching whats going on with disgust! :mad: edit: let me say for the people seeing this from other countries - the actions of these thugs are not indicative of the ordinary people of UK, i hope the animals responsible for this chaos are brought to justice! Edited August 8, 2011 by Mustang
Hellfire257 Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 They have no support so I don't know why they are bothering. Its just an excuse to cause trouble. I think its time for rubber bullets personally. Why should we pussy foot around them? Seal off the area and go in with the army. Then they'll behave.

Rusty_M Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 There's people who know what they're doing on the rampage...that'd be scarier IMO. Anyway, I hope these don't result in loss of life, although the destruction and theft of property is bad enough. I feel both glad that I'm far away from it, and annoyed that I can't do anything about it. Maybe I should apply to join the police. I've been thinking about it for years. Admittedly, there's nothing going on north of the border yet. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming

hassata Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Been glued to SKY. Can't believe what's going on. Mass-madness. Stay safe guys. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Always thought that the shooting of looters was a good idea we should pick up from our cousins across the pond. Fewer repeat offenders that way... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
FanBoy2006.01 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Hope the 16 000 police make a diference tonight. To all you over there; stay save.
bumfire Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Funny thing is they are doing this cause they want Justice for that thug who got shot dead by police the other day, he got shot by the police after he himself shot a policeman, yet they cry out "We want justice". As far as I am concerned he got justice, he got shot and killed for opening fire on a policeman whom was saved by his radio as the bullet was lodged in it, so what is so hard that they themselves cant figure that out ??? Ignorant destructive thugs is all that they are.
Fabri91 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Those people rioting and looting aren't related to the shooting, where it still has to be found out what happened, it's "just" that they haven't got anything better to do and take advantage of it. They don't want justice, they don't care at all. The family of the guy who was shot distanced themselves from all what is going on now.

They don't want justice, they don't care at all. The family of the guy who was shot distanced themselves from all what is going on now. On saturday night, it is exactly what caused it after a "peaceful" march during the day asking for justice which then disintigrated into violence. On sunday morning, early about 10am or so, their was huge groups of people shouting we want justice at the camera man on BBC news. I agree now that it has expanded and has nothing to do with the original shooting, as its now happening in other cities which have no connection with london. Also just now on bbc, they are saying that the dude didnt shoot the policeman, the gun found hadnt been fired, they are saying now that the bullet found lodged in the officers radio was a police bullet, so asking for justice for his murder now has more merit to it. We all know that asking for justice was just an excuse to cause violence and with the kids on school holidays probably made it much worse as they are bored and have nothing to do like you said, combine that with the thugs who want to cause trouble at the slightest chance then you have perfect recipe for disaster. But if they want to destroy their own neighbourhoods, then I dont mind, aslong as its just their own hoods, then they can destroy it and end up living in an even more shit hole of a place than they already do. Because thats what they deserve, if they cant live among normal people without resorting to crime and bullshit like this, then they dont deserve their freedom, they should be banged up at the slightest hint of violence or criminal acts.

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 There are some serious problems in UK. This is not the first riot and protest that we have seen in UK recently.

monotwix Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Initially I didn’t want to post this comment but it’s the package. Many parents simply don’t care about how their offspring develops and for other parents it’s beyond their control, the result of that is the percentage of the current generation in their twenties who don’t know the elbow from their ears, they just tweet on a two by four screen and tuition fees has nothing to do with it, even if one of them earned 21k after a uni and played £6 per month or 80k earning for 10k per year repayment, it can’t be more than 40k debt in a life time, it doesn’t mater either way. The system has failed to see what the human beings are, or animals with human DNA, the law should be nice and simple for every one to understand and not being reserved for puppet masters. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

Why should we pussy foot around them? Seal off the area and go in with the army. Then they'll behave. .50 Cal rubber bullets and 7.62 link with rubber bullets... good idea that. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

thereminqblank Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 ... he got shot and killed for opening fire on a policeman whom was saved by his radio as the bullet was lodged in it.... That's not what the IPCC are now saying happened: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/aug/09/mark-duggan-police-ipcc However, I agree that the rioters could care less about the shooting and just wanted a bit of 'fun'.

Bucic Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Disgusting Sorry, but I can't even think in terms of people safety right now because the "how stupid!" keeps coming back. And the police (lack of) reaction on top of that. "We depend more on understanding and respect with the police here in UK". Helllooo! The rioters... I am probably more British than those rioters! - How's the 'progressive education' and multiculturalism going? More relaxed laws? - Well, at least they are not racist nor homophobic... This all is not a fruit of last year policy you know. It's not a date in the calendar that turned the youth to be like it is now. Keep supporting stupid ideas and you'll get more of that, guaranteed. Oh and stupid needs to be told that he's stupid. At least daily. Because in democracy stupidity is dangerous, as you can see.
