Talk about people who are out of control. They sure got no respect for other people's property.

@MrNeversaynever The government would never ban smoking or alcohol. They make far to much money from it.

[MrNeversaynever]

Quick they are burning the pub, your be out there in a couple of years fighting for a cheap drink from that pub. If the government had it way we'll all be non drinking no smoking mindless taxed ridden morons. So yes i liked the riots but didn't like the mindless violence but i understand it, and i don't need to preach to people and try to say it was all children like our media would have you believe for the olympic benefits. See we are being watches by the world and the government knows it.

@alzani i lived in Pauls for years it is sad to see that this is what is becoming of the re reg work going on down there!!! glad you are both ok!:)

not being funny, i can appreciate how stretched the police are, but if they had a little assistance from the Army that crowd would have been moved on a whole lot quicker. The police are not advancing and taking any ground, they are letting the crowd control the pace. They need to get amongst them, with a little support from the Army who are experts in crowd control, i think these idiots would have thought twice about rioting and destroying their own communities, IDIOTS !!!!!!!!

Hammer and anvil tactic could have come into play here.
