This is what happens when you outlaw guns.
You're a dumbass. The last thing we need is these people armed. Outlawing guns did not cause these riots in any way. Hell with guns these could've been so much worse.
As for the riots this is just criminals pure and simple. People looking for people start violence, then other people join in because its a chance to screw over the Police that are doing their jobs protecting law-abiding citizens every day, cause that makes sense. Then somebody decides to smash a window and loot. Then more people do it because, HEY FREE STUFF! Then it just spirals from there, one area to the next. People don't know what the rioting started over, hell it didn't even really START over that issue, it was just people wanting trouble. One video I saw had a sky news reporter using a phone camera or something and videoing a shop being looted with no Police around. He asked a girl why she was doing it, she replied with "We is getting our taxes back". Its dumb as all hell.
I'm really disconnected from this story because I live just about the opposite end of the country from London (N-East Scotland) but I hope anybody near these riots who's not a part of it doesn't get hurt. And I hope as many people as possible are held to account for their actions.

Guns would have just inflamed the situation. Think about it, there's already chaos. Innocents using guns would make it even more chaotic.
Dark day for British society. Really we have some genuine issues, we as a society need to sort out.

If police can hold them up till tomorrow morning, I am sure things will be safer.
I am in my living room with the bat, just in case o.o
Its pretty quiet here in barking, but I can still hear sirens from far distance.
lolz i don't blame you, when it comes to protecting your family and everything you own it's survival of the fittest, i was thinking of getting one of my brooms from the cupboard to use as a weapon, it's better than nothing XD
