yes teherrmann it is true, only the armed police response units carry gunns, normal police are armen only with a baton and cs gas spray, the country is in a sorry state, so far 4 people have dies in these riots killed by the rioters ! david cameron PM, says water cannons are available with 24 hours notice ! they should be available now,

Thats the problem with the younger people they want everything but don't want to work for it .I learned young if you want something work is the only way to get it .I worked 2 jobs and saved and still managed to save enough and retire at 50 and everything I have is paid for and I only have 1 credit card .Here the major downfall for our mess is back years ago they were giving out mortgages like candy .If you can't afford it don't buy it .Most young people seem to think it is owed to them and try to get it with violence .All they do is make it worse and cost everyone more money .

We have had riots here, just as bad, for a lot of reasons. I was caught in one way back in dc, race riots. We were lucky to get out in one piece. They tried to flip the car we were in, surrounded us, I just screamed at the driver gun it, he did and we drove as fast as we could.
didn't stop until we were far far away.

some photoshopers are now starting to mock the rioters and make fun of them by altering the riot photos and putting in ludicrous items, here are just a few of them,

well i had a prowler in the garden last night, he left boot prints all over the place and bent the fence down climbing into the neighbours property, must be vigilant tonight, nothing has been stolen but he may have been looking around to see if there is anything to come back for !

oh gosh take care mogsie that will worry all of us that you and your family are safe .When I read that I was totally shocked ,I thought you were going to say animal predator and you said boot print my jaw dropped .Be safe and please be careful .What is wrong with people these days they need to steal instead of work hard for what they get and be proud to say I did it .

Set up an electric fence so the next time he goes to climb over the fence he gets a real jolt. Be sure it is on its highest setting so he gets a real good shock.

Problem is you set up those traps and nowadays you will end up in jail instead of the criminal. Oh the times they are a changin!
Remember this from here in Seattle? They made a movie called Battle in Seattle too.
