Totally agree! One of the reporters on the danish tv said that in comparison to it's size, London doesn't have as many riots as other large cities. If you ask me they are trouble makers looking for a reason to kick off.

I also agree it's really shocking
what must they be thinking of and what kind of mentality do they have.

Shocking
What on earth are they thinking of!

They are the Anarchists and they are all over the world. They join in legitimate protests and turn them violent. We have them in Australia as well and they hijacked the G20 protests and a few others. What they don't realise is that the Police now have the worlds best face recognition software. If they get a glimp of their face on camera then they might as well hand themselves in. So the Police will try and minimise damage but will not risk themselves arresting them. They will wait for the court orders to come through and arrest them one by one.

We don't have any Pete, they are in Northern Ireland, I think Tear Gas and Battons would be more useful, make the bug---s think twice before they do it again.

I don't think they should call them arnarchists. They are just thugs and criminals. My daughter is not far from Camden so I'm glad she is safe in her room now but what happens tomorrow? Is she supposed to keep off the streets after 4pm or what?

It does make me wonder if they've got mush for brains! I'm all for tear gas and battons!

Just watching the news, my sympathy's for the people who've had their houses burned down, or their cars, businesses etc destroyed. I can only hope they're properly insured.
