Tottenham riots

Should use water canon like in Northern Ireland. Then they could have put the fires out at the same time

nah you can only do that to paddies, if you did it to inner city youfs it would be instantly racism and a human rights issues.

I remember reading how attack dogs for mainland britain are trained to attack the arms of the person they are set on....whilst the ones for northern ireland are the more unruly dogs that they can't train, those ones attack anywhere on the body!

Some of the rules for northern ireland are really quite brutal, but i suppose with the history over there its hardly surprising.

Tottenham's a proper shitehole. Went to a rave there once, held in Club UN. It had an old tank and rocket launchers at the side.

Would have come in handy over the weekend.

...but then where did the bullet in the radio come from?

Second gunman on a grassy knoll I reckon :roll:

I always thought Tottenham was a bit rough, but if it (had) Nandos and a donut shop?

Mind you after eating at a Nandos I agree with their actions on that one.

having just read those 2 links from stew, it would seem there is conflicting reports on whether the guy who got shot was a good or bad guy but as far as the riots go i don't think they cared about that guy either way, it was just an excuse to loot stuff and have some "fun" on the streets.

all i can say is i am glad i don't live in our nations "great" capital.

Here is the talk from the street from one of the Spurs blogs, not quite as kind to Duggan as his girlfriend.

Duggan - street name ‘Starrish Mark’ - was supposedly a gangsta member of Tottenham Man Dem Gang, a street mob believed to be involved with the infamous Jamaica Yardies.

Apparently Starrish Mark was under observation by the fuzz as it was believed he was all set to take revenge for the killing of his cousin Kevin Easton a rapper – street name ‘Smegz’ – who was fatally stabbed outside a Mile End nightclub back in March.

Anyway, legend has it that Starrish Mark was in a taxi when he spotted an armed officer and it alleged took a pot shot at him from the back of the cab. The officer’s life was saved by his radio which took the bullet. The officer then returned fire and Duggan and was shot dead.

Apparently this morning they are saying its spread over london to places like brixton

"I'm standing outside Halfords on the other side of the road and they've just smashed through the doors of Halfords. They're taking bikes out the front entrance."

"I have to say, what really struck me was the small number of police officers that there actually seem to be on Brixton High Street responding to this."


Now i really feel sorry for those youfs...riding around on their freshly robbed apollo mountain bikes.
