It's a real nonsense try to resolve violence with violence. It seems that we, the human race, haven't learned anything from our own history.
That was a very powerful quote I've gotta' say. I'll defiantly remember that one! And as for the riot itself it's just snowballed into something totally uneeded, most people are using it as an excuse to rob stores it seems. Hardly a protest.

I'm appauled, it's just disgraceful and unhuman to do such a thing.

It's spreading now and unfortunately it's in the city I live in near my area ;/

Gonna have trouble with the Olympics now.

That in mind, my uni's marching band is actually going to London to lead the New Year's Day parade. It blows my mind that these riots are going on there now and in December, we're leaving to go there. On Twitter, people were talking about them spreading into Liverpool and Birmingham. Just terrible, really.

Awww, Rekky, you are so hardcore laughing about what is going on, go join them.

Riots spread to Bristol, Leeds and Birmingham. Great, it is in my own city now. A COBRA meeting is in effect in a few hours and I hope to God they allow force by the army; they won't be rioting long when stood infront of our British army.

seems like they will have to call the army...
from what I've read and seen in pics it's pure anarchy...some say they have a reason but I like much of you think they're just mindlessly robbing and destroying the great city of london and the other great cities in britain.
I hope it doesn't last any longer less alone december...

Yeah but are they supposed to have guns? I think if everybody had guns they could just shoot the bad guys.
And the bad guys would have it even easier to shot the good ones and cause even more trouble- I'd rather keep the guns for the police and all.

Also, best headline in the history of forever:

The government need to seriously get it under controll. Home Secretary, Theresa May is a pure idiot. She thinks we can handle this through normal policing methods; is she blind or plain deluded?

Indeed, and I can think of better titles, but dont' think they can be publicly published.

No way, dude. The rioters would have been like "you know, these guys might have guns, should I really break into their house and risk getting shot???"

The police are already under scrutiny but your average Joe would pop pop watching ----- drop all day.

I honestly think these riots are stupid. the fact that people are actually joining in around other places in the UK is also really terrifying. they had better come to an end soon.
I just hope that no one around where I live starts to join in, although it's full of chavs so chances are they will. -.-

I really hope this riot doesn't spread to Manchester... I'm worried now.

Looks like Manchester has got it worse this evening so far. Fires, riots, cars turned over, shops smashed.

Oh dear, come on Manc's, I thought we were better than this.

For God's sake this has gone too far. I can't even imagine how the family of the guy who, indirectly of course, started this is feeling. But it's hardly even anything to do with him anymore as much as it is a load of idiots going "YEAH LET'S STEAL EVERYTHING AND PISS OFF THE WHOLE OF OUR OWN COUNTRY!".

Random update for anyone who read my last two posts: the friend I mentioned got the living crap beaten out of him for taking a swing at someone he'd seen throwing a petrol bomb. What a world, huh.

On the same night as the Birmingham Riots (8/8/2011) there was a riot in Walsall, Staffordshire which is really around my area because I would say I'm only a few miles from Walsall, myself. Also, there's been violent activity in Wolverhampton, according to my sister who lives there and there's been more violent activity in Birmingham city centre.
I just thought you should know about these happenings >.< I just think it's completely stupid to be honest and I can't wait for it to be over.

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

I can't believe innocent people are being killed and buildings are being burned because of a stupid riot. It's ridiculous and so stupid. None of the innocent people that died deserved to...

Major problems in Manchester, Birmingham and Wolverhampton tonight. I thought the Manc's were better than this, but apparently not.

Just had a moment of fear as my mum was in Manchester today and this evening shopping around the area it suddenly kicked off and she wasn't answering her phone for over an hour.
Turns out she was just getting out of there and driving back. Christ that scared me, since I am so far away. =[

This is just stupid, The riots has to end now and the two idiot's David Cameron and Nick Clegg is turning a blind eye :(

David and Nick is just as bad as the rioters, You need parliament now not Thursday

Uhhh, they aren't doing too much, but turning a blind eye is over-exaggerating.
