London Riots: System Failure, only free armed people defend the community

A number of people have suggested that the Tottenham riots are the fault of System, Nick Davidson, 27, a computer shop owner said: "Everybody supports the police but we can see their hands are tied. We're good people but we're not having this." In Southall, west London, hundreds of Sikh men stood guard outside their temple and mounted street patrols, armed with baseball bats. In Eltham, south east London, a crowd of 200 men gathered in the streets, promising to protect their neighbourhood from looters and arsonists following rioting in nearby Lewisham and Woolwich. London, Aug 10 (ANI): A group of Sikh and Muslim men were found guarding temples, and mosques respectively, as riots in London intensified. In Southall, west London, hundreds of Sikh men stood guard outside their temple and mounted street patrols, armed with baseball bats, while Muslim men were seen guarding a East London mosque to defend it and repelled looters from a bank, The Telegraph reports.
As the evening progressed the crowd grew and was later estimated to number 300 people. In Southall, west London, hundreds of Sikh men stood guard outside their temple and patrolled the streets. The temple's president, Himmat Singh Sohi, said they wanted to protect their community. Some armed with swords, some carrying hockey sticks, defiant Sikhs stood guard outside their temples last night. More then 700 men, some in their 80s, took to the streets to protect the homes, businesses and places of worship in Southall, West London. London, Aug 10 (IANS) More than 700 Sikhs armed with swords and hockey sticks have been guarding their gurdwaras in Britain amid unending unrest, media reports said Wednesday. The Sikh men - some in their 80s - took to the streets to protect their homes, businesses and places of worship in Southall area of West London, the Daily Mail reported.
The Sun reported that more than 100 Sikh men came out to the streets with sticks and metal bars in West Bromwich town to save a gurdwara from rioters. "We are working alongside the police, they're doing what they can but they are stretched," Amarjit Singh Klair, from nearby Hounslow, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. "Why shouldn't we defend our homes, businesses and places of worship? This is our area. Southall in west London has a large population of Indian origin, which rallied together when, apprehending violence, elders in the gurdwara appealed to the community for help. Amarjit Singh Klair from nearby Hounslow, who helped rally the men, told the Daily Mail: "We are working along side the police, they're doing what they can but they are stretched. Why shouldn't we defend our homes, businesses and places of worship? This is our area. A group of rioters tried to attack the heart of the area in the early hours on Tuesday, but soon groups gathered to protect the gurdwara as community elders asked for help. Gurdwara general secretary Parvinder Singh Garcha said, "We want to show them (the rioters) we are here together. We want for them to discuss if they have a problem, we will address that with them but certainly we will not stand for any kind of wanton violence." Local resident Amarjit Singh Klair said, "We are working alongside the police, they're doing what they can but they're stretched. Why shouldn't we defend our homes, businesses and places of worship? This is our area.
Vigilante groups set up to protect shops and homes from rioters are hampering the policing operation, a senior officer has warned. Reports suggested that hundreds of people turned out overnight in parts of London, including Enfield and Southall, to defend their property amid fears of further looting. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh, from the Metropolitan Police, said they were not helping matters. He told Sky News: "What I don't need is these so-called vigilantes, who appeared to have been drinking too much and taking policing resources away from what they should have been doing - which is preventing the looting." Mr Kavanagh added: "These are small pockets of people. They're frustrated, they're angry and that's totally understandable. "The sadness of those images through the night and the night before last will affect everyone. "But the support that we need is to allow those officers to prevent looting and prevent crime. "Ironically, when you see those images with no police available, the police are now having to go and do the vigilantes as well as the other problems that they've got. That needs to stop." One video filmed in Enfield shows a huge crowd surge through the streets near the London suburb's Southbury Road station. While many pictures this week have shown crowds clashing with police in destructive stand-offs, the video clearly shows officers and crowds running in the same direction in a bid to ward off looters.
