Twunts who think that the best way to protest the police shooting a man (who shot first at the police) is to be violent, destructive and all too happy to steal.
You just made the bolded part up didn't you?

I've not heard any reports that duggen even oped fire.
Back on topic..
Its a shame really that this is happening. It just shows that we are only a few steps away from chaos and social breakdown.
Are you going to apologise to newuser2310 poster who called you on this.(I wouldn't be so harsh people who are ignorant of the Mets propensity for lying may well have thought this was true.I was caught out myself when I said the Met inferred Duggan shot at police,when now we have evidence that a police spokesperson did straight out lie and stated as fact Duggan shot at police)
If you mean I'm prepared to look at the situation in an analytical way and try and see the reasons and background of whats happening without resorting to sub Daily Mail frothing at the mouth about thugs and calling in the Army,then yes I guess to the reactionary right I am part of a problem.Incidently if you think I am uncritically supporting all that is going on you couldn't be more wrong,there are some very nasty violent incidents that have happened during the last few days and I'd condemn them outright. The idiots on the BBC right at this moment are going on about last night "how anarchy reigned" with people this dumb how can you expect a reasoned debate .
(you could do worse than read the quote from MLK I posted earlier and think on )
Please tell me if that is not clear enough for you.
Riiiight. So basically you're just a hypocrite with the nerve to preach to everyone else.
Stay classy.
As I had posted earlier I condemn without reservation what happened to this guy.That being said I'm sure you can understand why Cameron et al are pushing this as a symbol of the riots,it's good television and it appeals to the sentimentalised,instantly judgemental without having any knowledge in depth average TV consumer.I notice not much reference is being made to the sixteen year old girl who had the ***** beaten out of her in front of hundreds of witness's in Tottenham (something that changed a peaceful protest into what we see now) no groovy video clip you see and your TV audience can't digest anything thats not presented in 30sec chunks:
"In this sense, there exists a hierarchy of victimization, both reflected and reinforced in media and official discourses. At one extreme, those who acquire the status of ideal victim may attract massive levels of media attention, generate collective mourn- ing on a near global scale, and drive significant change to social and criminal justice policy and practice (Greer, 2004; Valier, 2004). At the other extreme, those crime victims who never acquire legitimate victim status or, still worse, are perceived as undeserving victims may receive little, if any, media attention, and pass virtually unnoticed in the wider social world."

Incidentally as someone who has been attacked in the street by 25 masked up 12-16 year olds and who as a result received multiple smashed teeth and a jaw broken in two places I think I'd probably know what this guy is going through better than most.In spite of this I'll continue to try and understand these kids and refrain from throwing around thinly veiled racist terms like "feral children".(thanks again to the NHS for providing me with a five tooth platinum and porcelain bridge and multiple gold molar caps which as a victim of crime I received free of charge)
Presumably you do know that the most likely victim of street robbery in London is a young black male.Now I would have thought you'd have lost the typical simplistic sentimentalised American view of crime in society,apparently not.You could do worse than read the paper I quoted from above.
Catch yourself on.
