I really liked this quote out of the article found here

"He told me to take off my rings and grabbed my hand, trying to yank them off. His friend tried to help too, but the rings wouldn't come off and I just yelled at him that I'd take them off myself. In hindsight, now that I know that gun control is so fierce in England and he only had bat, I should have held on to my rings better and maybe slugged him in the face."

Yeah, baseball bats can't kill ya...

Has anyone been to London, Manchester , or Picadelly Square lately ? Its a crap hole

The ninjas have taken over London yes I mean the ones that dress like ninjas (pajamas and only their eyes showing) Manchester houses the largest gay population in England. and Picadelly Square is full of Freaks and Punk Rockers...

Its pretty sad really but we are heading down the same road. I am going to order another brick of ammo just to make my self feel better

No No NO not the same at all!












It doesn't rain nearly as much in comifornia.

 

[BlueEagle]

Yeah, its a mess; but let it burn. The government can't keep **** in their own city under control, how are they supposed to run a whole entire country?

I thought the UK was a nonviolent sophisticated society that looks down on us knuckledragging Americans. Wasn't there a pro-gun poster from the UK here awhile back? It would be interesting to get a perspective on this crap from the UK.

Read daily Kos to get a perspective on this from the UK. http://www.dailykos.com/

Actually, you'd be much better off reading the Brit news, like the BBC, Guardian or Telegraph. KOS isn't much more than bloggers or tweeters.

BBC News - England riots

 

[avalonbear]

Actually, you'd be much better off reading the news from those Brits on the ground, in the area's effected . The BBC slants the coverage not unlike Fox here.

Interesting that you singled out Fox. Do you not think CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.. slant the news? Just curious.

please explain how citing gays and punk rockers (as well as "ninjas") makes those places crap holes? You don't have to check any box in particular to be trash. Trash comes in a variety of forms.

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

I am sure the Brady Campaign still can not understand why the Koreans didn't have as much damage as everyone else during the LA Riots.

Damnit Kutnupe14, you know very well that ninjas are trouble plain and simple. They always have been and they always will be. If you see a group of ninja hanging out downtown you know they are up to no good.

Stop being so PC about everything, eat another handful of boiled peanuts and get back to work.

 

[pudly]

Wow. What a sad commentary:

The state is not your friend, so do what you have to do and if you drive off some thugs, do not call the police after it is all over as nothing good will come of that.

Well, I personally like Ninjas. They worked incredibly hard to hone their craft, and are skilled in espinoge, covert operations, and assasination. Ninjas can support themselves for extended periods of time without any assistance from the Shogunate. To include Ninja's of all people into that category of dishonor is simple.... wait wat? Did you say boiled peanuts?
Gotta go...

I don't trust any of the news net works in the US. Not one has unbiased coverage. Its always important to check who is paying the networks and reporters salary. Even NPR is biased. Fox even states they are in the entertainment industry not the news..CNN,NBC,ABC,MSNBC, and CBS only give you 15 seconds of coverage that they want you to see. This is why the Internet blogs and twitters are so important today and in the future.If there are 20 witnesses and all have a phone with a camera whats going on will be seen in the raw. As-long as there is Internet people will get news out of the area. They may have there bias also but at least you see a street level view of whats going on.

Just my thinking, but I think london is just like the riots that followed the ronney king beating, it was not so much racial as just a reason to rape, rob and burn. Knowing the cops did'nt have the guts to stop them. But that's just me

 

[jsharmon7]

This is even worse than I thought. Here is some surveillance camera footage of a rioter destroying property:
