Rioting in the UK

i dont know about over there but even in the big cities here when it gets to that point the police are so out numbered they become ineffectual. i saw online where the price aluminum baseball bats on amazon over there went up 6000%.... sounds like its time to declare martial law and bring in the troops....the boys in green until everything cools down.

I hope things calm down soon but more importantly i hope my "english buddies "are safe.

There's not many times I truly hang my head in shame but this is one of them. To what end does any of this 'help' our society. It's about time we put our 'political correctness' to one side and started to come down hard on anti-social behaviour. Sadly we have become a roll over and take it nation where morals and integrity seem to have totally vanished. The cult of personality seems to have become the norm with young people having 'role models' such as Jordan and Rooney. I've still yet to hear any form of justification for it that doesnt include the words 'innit, like, sick and it was great man'. We sadly have spawned a generation of amoral, uneducated, welfare dependent, brutalised youngsters who without any form of moral compass have no shame or guilt for what they are doing. Watching BBC's Newsnight I watched with mouth open when a group of 'youths' were 'bigging' up what they had done in tottenham yet in the same breath were then wanting to know how they would get their Giros that week because 'da post office burned down and that'.
And as much as it's unlikely that the trouble will reach my quiet corner of the country (what they going to loot- sheep, pastures?) they better come prepared to my house as it's already close to the glorious 12th and Ive adopted
their attitude and may well mistake some sh1tty little peasants for the game bird of a similar name. I know at the minute which I'd prefer to shoot at.

Edit: strangely this no longer seems like a good japanese film but a policy we should adopt
