Riots are a sign of a deep malaise in our society. What can be done to...

...alleviate the plight of inner city residents who feel the only way their voices will be heard is through violence and looting?

"Paul, Live in a real world, I do" No people in the real world do not wish murder on thieving women and kids, that is a very "Unreal" world you live i and thankfully there's a place where many that think like you do are kept well away from us and "Normal" society for your sake as well as ours.

glad you realise it's not a race issue TWR. What is this real world you live in then if it's any different from that in which I live?

[netibiza]

Wrongn3mber, err you are living in just that world, look at the news man!

[Wrongn3mber]

Netibiza I"m living in a world where in the west it's okay to kill women and kids because of looting?

[emmie]

wrongnumber, not in Britain.

[netibiza]

Why should women being excluded, they can be as nasty as men, children, well if they've started down this bad road, will they learn better? Stop pussyfooting around this scum!

neti...I am just back from the Club and it is all on Spanish TV.
They have asked me what it is all abut, but i was pushed for a coherent answer.
They admitted that the Spanish were no saints, but these riots were vicious, wanton and cross country.

Just shrugged my shoulders and said "no entiendo"

[sandyRoe]

This suggestion of banning all hooded garments. Does that mean people wouldn't be allowed to wear a duffle coat?

[Pinkypie]

A mouthy girl was interviewed by the BBC saying that they (the rioters) will stop when they are given more respected! What respect do they want? To be given MORE money for nothing and maybe a clothing allowance, so the poor things don't have to go out looting!

I hope this hits them hard in their own lives and they have to look at their own family members in the eyes and know they caused it! Shameful!

[netibiza]

sqad, Spain would send in the Guardia and the mili, and in Barcelona the Mossos. I don't have to explain it to the spanish, I just point them to the idiot tourists in San An!!

[TWR]

Sandy, these tribes that use the hoods! WHY? Is it for fashion? just because that area of the UK has a problem does it mean all other area's in the UK do not? these scum are using the excuse of the person that was killed as an excuse to riot! is that an acceptable excuse to burn peoples house down? do destroy someones business? to take someone's employment away from them? as regards the other statements this is the real world, I know it, you must be bloody blind if you lot cannot see it. this kettle has been on the boil for a long while, you do goodies you might have a surprise tonight, think about that.
