Well earlier the police chased around 60 youths out of the area.
Tomorrow the inquest into Mr Duggan's death starts at the local Coroners' office; so i'm sure they'll be some justifiably angry people around as well as the looting twats.

What I'm wondering is if they'd only create more of an impression to a sane person - would a crazed mob-mentalised person see them as different?

I guess that's not something we can answer without either being one or sending in the army and finding out.

Not sure on the vehicles front - if I saw an army tank roll around the corner, I'd think "well he's not allowed to shoot at me, and if I go over there then he can't follow" - but then again looters probably aren't thinking straight so maybe it would help.

That will be helpful because it seems like the end of the world is coming and you will need the milk and beef eventually!

It's tempting to create a website with pictures of every single face I can find of people looting from any internet video I can find....

Echelon can probably do that much quicker than you. :)



Somewhere today I saw mention of an Android/iPhone app that can do facial recognition, then searches for similar photos, works out who the person is (i.e. using tagged photos on social networks), then once it has a name it searches those people-finder sites to find out actual information about them.

Interesting from a technology perspective, but scary from a privacy perspective.

Annoyingly I can't find the link for it. :(

I'm pretty sure it would be illegal. And with good reason: if they're not authorised to use force then you're just putting them in a very dangerous situation for which they have neither the training nor equipment. If they are authorised to use force then you've just declared war on your own people.

Tanks rolling down a high street would probably do more damage than looters.

I'm surprised, with all the flats-above-shops, that there's been no reports of someone being badly injured or killed already.

I do hope this all stops soon, it doesn't seem to be. I've been arguing with people all day who've been saying that these people are trying to be heard and make a point, which I'd be happy to accept if 99% of these kids didn't appear to be purely thinking "Yay! Fire! Televisions!". That's why I worry this'll will spread further.

I live above a sex shop, full of pornography, I'm fucked if the the youths in Bournemouth start rioting! :(

So what if they're thinking "yay, free televisions"? The fact that they are estranged enough to think that way kinda is the point.

Seems to be a modified version of a poster created for earlier Bristol riots.

Seems to be the same flier that's been handed out at just about every demo I've been to.

 


Anyone see Ken Livingston gnome BBC news last night? Seemed to be the only person talking any sense.

Thanks for the offer! I think I'll be ok. I'm going to see about changing to another hotel this morning. "It'll introduce significant risk to the project going forward if I'm unable to progress deliverables because some wee fudd leveraged my laptop from my grasp and bolted before I could toe his baws."

The douche is the guy interviewing him.

 

"lets get ken livingston on and as soon as he offers his thoughts on why the kids have gone mental we'll interupt him and accuse him of.just campaigning"

 


Riots don't just happen for a laugh, people have to be completely fucking mental about something to start rioting like this,.and i reckon ken is a lot.closer to the reasons why than anyone else I've seen on the news talking about it.

 

I saw one guy on Sky saying they were all 'hardened criminals' and in the same breath saying they were 13 year olds that were just 'out of control's
