Manchester Riots Tuesday 9th August 2011 HD

[1100HondaCB]

I've found Mancunians to be rude, hostle and very unfriendly people. I would never feel safe walking down the streets of Manchester.

[Youkn8wm9]

The Queers and Immigrants in manchester love riots, every year in Skancland.

[XenophobeDubstep9]

best day of my life

[peza38]

Robbing starbucks how cool with all the cameras

injoy jail

[decko4unlImIteD]

I thought it was Balotelli in some slacks at 1:45 :D I wouldnt be suprised

[ManchesterSWAG]

PROUD TO BE A MANC 

[EPgaming123]

@ManchesterSWAG

you do know youve just said youre a rioter . so if you were reported the police could track your ip address

[DylanCFCelnino9]

Thieving ducks !!

[Feargface]

Thanks for videoing this! This will be an excellent source for years to come

[MrKazy786]

next time try and keep the camra or phone still u retard

[Willyb0bs]

Does make me wonder, the police kettled student protesting for their future in 2010, but were nowhere to be seen for hours when people were destroying our city. Go figure

[mrkristoff]

I honestly couldn't care less about Starbucks and expensive clothes shops being raided, if the rioters were more organised and less interested in consumer items I might get behind them. The police on the other hand, y'know, it's hard for them, they take the blame for everything. Like kicking the shit out of people and getting away with it.

[rewind12354]

Thieving Manc bastards.

[decko4unlImIteD]

andreasandrews who threw it as it looked like a firefighter threw it

[andreasandrews]

@decko4unlImIteD it certainly wasn't a fire fighter who threw it. The fire fighters were not on foot, but driving past around this time and stayed within the vehicle at all times. All I know is that it came from across the street where lots of people were moving around and watching the scene from the sidelines.

[decko4unlImIteD]

What happened at 07:05

[andreasandrews]

@decko4unlImIteD a nice big glass bottle flew past my head

[jt24901]

they went in starbucks to rob some coffee beans,  SAD BASTARDS

[andreasandrews]

@MrNikoBellEnd I wasn't harassed by any police (this time) they prevented me from entering certain areas however they mainly had their hands full. I'm sorry to hear that they deleted footage from you camera. I have a policy of sticking to my rights when asked to delete photos or hand any of my equipment over. The police don't have the right to confiscate and delete things on the spot under UK law. I make sure I know my rights, keep calm & carry on at all times. Being careful is the key.

[tommorecambe]

was good day out that tbh.

[nowayofknowing]

Hello. I'm a university student and I'm doing a short film about the riots and I was wondering if I could get your permission to use your footage?

[andreasandrews]

@nowayofknowing I'll send you a PM to gather a few more details and to further discuss the usage of my footage.

[DcLomas96]

and a miget at 4:10

[DcLomas96]

wow how ttall is the guy in the black at 1:34

[MrDjDec]

the shop "do u need clothes" well my answer is u aint got any hahah

[FANNYLEROUX]

May i just thank the top dogs of the past uk governments for these riots.

You single handedly turned our police force into an absolute joke, they cant do right for doing wrong. When they needed support, they got punishment, when they needed help to serve justice, you give them budget cuts.

What police were out im sure worked well i have the greatest of respect for them, but its the people above them that have turned them into one of the uk's most un-funny jokes.

[GogoKetchup]

@Porkchoppa76 Whats a "whigger"? To what extent of behavior do you think makes a person white? Have you ever been at Manchester or even Liverpool before? Those are chavs, they're a group of welfare class terrorizing people's estates ever since thatcher legalized council houses. They can be black,asian but they are predominately white.

[Suko24601]

This is an amazing vid. I've been away durung the riots, didn't even know they were happening. This sums it all up, thank you :)

[hamza12381]

Lol at the guy stealing coffee from starbucks!

[Apalmeic5]

GUY GO'S FREE FROM COURTS FAKE OFFENCES THE GAME.....

[crazyjake29]

was dawsons music shop looted? please reply

[jnj1234567890]

@crazyjake29 yes

[cheshacatcsa]

Excellent work.

[TheRippingCorpse]

'Great' footage. It sickens me though that I was there a couple of hours before with my young son. Two words. Total. Scum.

[dahlahlinglah]

People would use any excuse to act like animals

[ChaoWasher99]

I Wasn't There!

[xxcooldanxx]

The part where the riot police form a line across the road, were they shouting at you to get back? if so did you move to another location after that?

Another thing, how many of these yobs told you to put the camera away? I mean, did you keep it hidden at all? if not how did they react to it?

would really appriciate a response :)!

Excellent footage

[DavidIacob]

@xxcooldanxx notice how low the camera was, he was at ;east somewhat hidding it.

[andreasandrews]

@xxcooldanxx No they were shouting at a couple of youths who were attempting to approach the line from behind.

I was constantly told to stop filming or to put the camera away. On a few occasions threatened and also chased a couple of times and had a few things thrown in my direction (including a glass bottle). On a few occasions I kept the camera hidden, mostly I held it in full view but acted casual and discreet. They reacted in different ways, but seemed mainly focussed on looting.

Cheers

[moedem]

boy leaves dna at the scene 2:05

[jvfjvdfjk]

Police appear to be in precious short supply.

[tzarina40]

How dare they trash our city like this.....SCUM

[kidcaptian]

Thank god they don't live in my city in the US, half of them would have been tackled or shot down by cops by now.

[TheJoemoze]

@kidcaptian i would like to see some order on our fucking streets

[MrEpichacker]

All nigers XD

[ThePiousOne5]

too many single mothers trying to raise kids on their own, what has society come to, no faith, no fear for the consequenses, humans have only themselves to blame, of those that have no sense of direction. please wake up, life will end one day. we only live once, is this how we want to live it?

[JCubDK]

The last 5 times I've been on holiday the last 3 years my destination was Manchester. I love that city.

Now, my heart weeps...

[ashesandsn0w]

take out the guns and shoot their damn asses. who the fuck cares about the rioters? they want to uprise-- just kill them. family's sad? too bad. shouldn't have supported the riot.

[chaz573]

community brave recording btw! (Y)

[chaz573]

shocking footage, hard to understand they would do this to thier own

[TheChrisrg]

Epic FAIL with that extinguisher. FUCKING LOSERS.

[LoveSenseDimension]

I'd love to get a flight over there and shoot them morons with my gun.

[xRussianButcher]

WTF

the Police need to use real guns.

Not sticks and Water cannons

[SuperAvroVULCAN]

sad, real bad, why these wankers are doing this escapes me ! hope some of these theiving scum get caught and fucked, if anything good can come out of this its that hopefully our punishments and sentences will become harsher, hope the police are freed up more to kick scroat arse in the future, its impressive how many communities of many different races and religions are also grouping up to defend there communities from these theiving nobs, track em down and open a can of wupaasss on em!

[patriotistopiano]

Is time for ALL Europeans to wake up and RETURN to their European historical traditions!!! Is time to for Every European to defend their HERITAGE, their Nations, their Families, their Race, their Culture!! Kick out all the non- Europeans!!

Multiculturalism always leads to Racial conflicts and GENOCIDE!!!

Stop the silent GENOCIDE of indigenous European populations!!!

[waheyitsheather]

i can't believe this is what our country has become.

at one time, we felt proud to be British, and better yet, a Mancunian.

this is just pathetic, this rioting. its ruining our economy, our country, our future.

these flippin scroats bring shame to England.

[LadyLeanne100]

Pretty fearless reporting there mate. Unbelievable scenes.

[honkhonkonkers]

Well done, I hope you've given this to the police? there's dozens of people causing "petty" offences that might think they'll get away with it that could be put charged with this evidence

[sabinka81]

jajj to co se tam stalo?

[MakeUp4Art]

I heard it was a bunch of children rioting??? How sad when children are left to take over, and when the government makes it impossible for parents and difficult for teachers to be teachers and discipline the kids like they should (as the bible teaches). My generation were disciplined and there were never riots and knifings in class and shootouts in schools, much less drugs and alcohol amongst kids. Everybody, vote for bringing back corporal punishment at schools, and in homes!

[MaGzStArR92]

I'm ashamed to be a Mancunian. How could we let this happen to our proud city? It's so pathetic to see stuff like this...

[Youkn8wm9]

@MaGzStArR92 Proud?? of what..

[TimelordUk]

Awful and frightening. I'm embarrassed to be a human being. Fantastic documentary filming and photos.

[wicklekell]

Nothing but a bunch of SELFISH, LOW LIFE, HEARTLESS, DISRESPECTFUL F*CKING SCROUNGERS!

[Miss1989Sweety]

Breaks my heart...I love this city..but I'm no longer proud to be mancunian

[crawlawayforgood]

It's like a zombie apocalypse only with less brain cells. Pathetic and incredibly upsetting for anyone who isn't an arsehole to watch.

[Euclides287]

YOUR GRANDPARENTS WERE POOR, YOUR PARENTS ARE POOR, YOU´RE POOR BUT WANT TO BREAK THIS VICIOUS CIRCLE BY GOING TO UNIVERSITY TO GET A DEGREE AND GET A PROPER JOB TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE PLACE YOU LIVE IN BUT THE GOVERNMENT INCREASES TUTUION FEES TO PREVENT YOU FROM DOING IT AND MAINTAIN/INCREASE THE GAP BETWEEN RICH AND POOR BECAUSE THEY NEED YOU TO SERVE ON TABLES AND CLEAN TOILETS!! WAKE UP, IT’S TIME FOR REVOLUTION!! THE BRITISH UPRISING IS HERE BIG TIME!!! UNLEASH HELL!!!!! (-A-)

[BakedTroll]

the greatest city on earth raped by animals

[RyokoLam]

ill prepared britain for such an occasion, but is it really that much of an adrenaline rush to do such criminal actions! The poor will just get poorer now with increase in insurances, tax and cost of goods in the future!

[artvandelay13]

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuunts.

[MsSarah131]

why i found it cute about 5:05 when the police man puts the other ones helmet thing over his face, I really don't know why. Thats just like, so cute.

[MsSarah131]

@MsSarah131 about 5:15

[andreasandrews]

agreed!

[MsSarah131]

@andreasandrews well i'm glad someone else thinks so haha :)

[JoshRobertson142]

@MsSarah131

5:05?? more like 5:16 i was looking for like a minute trying to find out what you meant at 5:05. lol

[MsSarah131]

@JoshRobertson142 oh yeah haha, thats weird O.o its later on..

[djparnate]

PROPER LITTLE SHOP KICKERS HAHAHA

[willcrossfit]

the rising of the planet of the apes

[brainskewer]

For all those saying it's politically motivated, I doubt any of these people voted (or would have anyway) or care about politics. It's not about the Tories or Lib Dems, it's about free laptops and LCD TVs.

[DeJasperHD]

WHY DO THEY STEEL FROM STARBUCKS, i understand you want coffee but what else do they have..

[andreasandrews]

@DeJasperHD one kid came up to me and asked "Is there anything in there". I don't think some of them even know what Starbucks is!!!!

[alen209]

@DeJasperHD Espresso machine run for $400 to $1000 dollars.....

[AishaFace123]

they help fund wars in other countries?

[TheSmoshrules]

@DeJasperHD Money in the cash registers !

[samueltooze]

@DeJasperHD they do some nice muffins and sticky buns but not worth going to prison for lol!!

[scottvaughan]

Some really good footage. I hope this has been sent the GMP.

[andreasandrews]

@scottvaughan I sent them a message last night when I got home, and rang the dedicated helpline today so they will be in touch about gathering the footage containing faces of those involved.

[LerenDownloaden]

We need Assad in the UK and lets send Cameron to Syria!

[BeRedIQ]

good footage!

[MissYlvaMarie]

this is incredibly upsetting to watch

[salamanderjood]

@MissYlvaMarie Its upsetting to think that the hard working Englishman has to pay for this, while half of the people who riot wont get arrested and can keep the loot they stole.

everyone who took part in the riots should work and pay for the damage thats been done as long as they live.

And police should shoot with real bullets at the shitfaces looting our money.

[MissYlvaMarie]

@salamanderjood Agreed. I was supposed to be in manchester doing some shopping on monday with my brother since he was here visiting from sweden but my car broke down.. now i wish i would have gone, seen it as how beautiful as it is and now if this continues tonight (All heavenly powers forbid!) I will be going there tomorrow to clean together with the others who cleaned today!

[andreasandrews]

@MissYlvaMarie It was upsetting to witness... There wasn't a braincell between the people I encountered last night who were carrying out this copycat crap.

[bora895]

@MissYlvaMarie I lived in Manchester last year and I really loved the place! I m sorry to see these pictures of vandalizing :(

[RennyFN]

You brave bastard. x

[andreasandrews]

@RennyFN Thanks :) "pain is temporary, glory is forever"

[daleadelic]

top notch footage dre! fucking mental.

[andreasandrews]

@daleadelic Cheers mate!



[beanevil007]

how eerily quiet was it at the beginning!! all that waste and violence for nothing. if they actually had a point for it all i could understand but no- typical manchester " oh look london is smashing stuff up and looting - lets do it too!" nobheads

[davie668]

Well done mate, you are a brave man for getting so close to it all!

[ChorltonBrook]

Vote for the ConDem nation and this happens.

[EmmaJacobsen277]

Why do all you jobless little fucks not realise the rich business owners are paying for your benefits? You aren't taking it out on the government. You're taking it out on innocents.

[BevAlbi]

It's immature youngsters with nothing better to do during the school holidays or inbetween giros, egging each other on. There was a small kick off here in Ashton tc last night too, we had to lock down our street when thugs started smashing windows. Thankfully the police seem to have nipped it in the bud. Shame the police didn't do that in London 3 days ago when it all started, we could of avoided all this mindless thuggery happening across the country.

[hananddan]

Hopefully gmp will see this, excellent footage of all the low life scum in our city!

So upsetting to see it trashed in one night by these monsters :(

[lostpebble]

I wonder what is the underlying causes for these social unrest. Excellent reportage and editing.

[Cerebaton]

@lostpebble A severe case of "i want a new telly-itis". People will use anything as an excuse to smash stuff up =/

[lostpebble]

@Cerebaton There is no doubt that there are some opportunistic thugs were taking advantage of the situation. But are you seriously suggesting that the spontaneous outbreaks is because someone wanted a telly. Get real son.

[Cerebaton]

@lostpebble I'm saying that all of the rioters in manchester were opportunistic thugs, yes.

Suggesting otherwise implies that these rioters did anything meaningful, as opposed to just blindly looting for free stuff.

[blueskybutterfly1]

Excellent footage. You should send it to the police and BBC

[schabe]

Yeah about right - the sort of people who steal from Quality Save

[mojodaddy63090]

Great footage and photos ! No one stopped you or threatened you ?

[andreasandrews]

@mojodaddy63090 Thanks and yes I was threatened a few times and chased down the street by a group for taking photos. At 7:03 you can see (and hear) something being thrown. It was a large bottle which flew past my head from across the street.
