'The Good Samaritan'

What a pathetic piece of . . . .

Yet another example of the scum nurtured under noo labour.

[Gromit]

This useless Government have lost the streets. They are soft on crime and at the same time cutting the police. A complete shambles.

The video has been posted several times already, but it does make you despair at the vileness of some people.

[emmie]

its been posted before, makes me feel really queasy.

[Wrongn3mber]

There are users on many other boards that suspect that the injured guy who got robbed of what appears to be an i-pad or similar device off of him was also a looter.

[Wrongn3mber]

If he was a looter , still feel sorry for him?

[anotheoldgit]

Can't quite get my head around this, at first it is as you say, but looking at it again.

How do we know how he got the injured mouth in the first place?

Had he previously been in a confrontation with someone in the first place, and then mugged that person and placed the items he took off his victim in his own back pack?

The guy or his friends then caught up with him and then took the items back, the only thing I can't understand is why he then threw them away?

What do others think?

[Wrongn3mber]

Aog, the split mouth could've came from a police truncheon for all we know, and the robber threw away the packaging/instructions not the actual device which remains in his hand obscured as his back is facing us.

[jno]

I think it's possible, aog, but I don't know. It needs putting into some sort of context but I've seen none so far.

Gromit

You keep criticising the Tories for their 'soft on crime' issues.

But you fail to tell us how different it would have been under Labour?

Would Labour have been able to assure us that nobody would take to the streets and riot under a Labour Government?

Would we have seen more police on our streets?

Would they have instructed the Police to take more tough measures with criminals such as these bits of scum?

Would they have built more prisons and made prison life less comfortable for their inmates?

What would they have done Gromit or what would Gromit like to see done, by a Labour Government?

[jno]

aog, the short answer is: how many riots were there under Labour?

[anotheoldgit]

/// Aog, the split mouth could've came from a police truncheon for all we know,///

Hardly likely since I don't think at any time the police got close enough to the rioters, to inflict such an injury.

[Wrongn3mber]

Aog, are you blinkered or did you not see all the last couple of days footage? MANY were arrested and there were MANY PHYSICAL clashes with police which could've easily split a lip.

/// aog, the short answer is: how many riots were there under Labour? ///

I could name the 2001 Oldham Race Riots, and the 2005 Birmingham Race Riots.

This riot could have taken place under any political party, I don't think that these 'knuckle draggers' would even know what party was in at any time.

[Gromit]

Simple AOG. Labour employed enough police to do their job. And they supported them. The current shambles have demoralised them. And they are cutting their numbers at the exact time the austerity drive will make social unrest more likely.

The Bank of England warned of riots, Senior Police Officers did so. I posted this after the Budget.

-------------------------------------------

Gromit
I predict a riot!

Howe's March '81 austerity budget was followed soon after by riots in Brixton, Leeds, Leeds, Moss Side and Toxteth.

Better not cut Police jobs just yet...

Yet they are all pretending to be surprised.

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit you would have done better to answer my questions instead of putting in dotted lines where you could not answer them.

Incidentally, do you actually believe that had Labour got in again (spits to the ground) they would not have also made cuts, even to the police force and the armed forces?

In fact most cuts where already in the pipeline when the coalition government took over.

Another point to make is, aren't the areas where the riots are taking place Labour Council controlled?

[Brenden]

You scored with that one AOG

[Gromit]

// In fact most cuts where already in the pipeline when the coalition government took over. //

So they are Labour cuts? Utter codswallop.

[Gromit]

// Another point to make is, aren't the areas where the riots are taking place Labour Council controlled? //

Not exclusively. Croydon certainly isn't.

one of the things these yobs do is this
one who is a fast runner runs in front of group down the street
he could be running for a bus or anything
he spots young lad , as he gets near smacks young lad in face but will carry on running
the rest of the group walking up behind see young lad who will be dazed sat on floor
the rest you can see in the video
