It would be a serious criminal act.

So what, I will not cry and he will not do it again.

Britain had to go through years of serious criminal acts around northen europe so these little cretins can run amock round London, time this country grew a set.

To be honest they don't need to beat the f**k out of them to prove a point.

They just need to throw their missiles back at them and actually hit them, or look like they are going to beat the sh*t out of them.

Your average 30 year old policeman dressed up in full riot gear is never going to catch some teenager. They need to be surrounded, kettled and battered and we have to look the other way while it is going on.

The quicker that happens the quicker the country can go back to normality.

The problem is the kids are crafty. They know how to run into side streets.

This isn't a normal riot.

Quite. Reminds me of when the yanks got spanked in Mogadishu in the early 90s. Too much lawlessness allowed to thrive. Somalia still hasn't solved their problem, can London do any better?

They've learnt their lesson and it would not happen now. Why? Because average firepower they pack is enough to deal with the problem, where as poor British lads who got linched by the crowd in Iraq (2004?) did not have fooking ammo!

Sure, so you're an armchair thug with no more interest in the rule of law than the rioters. Ooooh, the irony.

UK history means the army and police don't like going in and shooting first.

Are you sure?

That's what I meant.

The head Police honchos I've heard on the radio keep backing away from the fact they are allowed to use plastic bullets tonight if needed.

It's fine using those tactics in a "hidden backwater" of the UK but not on the British mainland where the eyes of the world's media are on them.
