That's martial law though, which is what governments usually want to avoid, unless they want to opress the population

Looters rampage through a convenience store in Hackney

Yes Brave SkyNews reporter Mark Stone
tonight

Does he get attacked at the end there?

Not sure, I hope not

Yes he Told SkyNews they Got his other Phone
he then went to a Side street and Phoned direct to SkyNews

He is Safe now

This has become a joke as its ever so simple,bring in Martial law and give them one chance to surrender,and if anybody doesnt then shoot them as the looters didnt care about setting that family buisness on fire,and throwing bricks at peoples windows.

Also David Cameron is a wimp as any time something big happens like the hacking scandal or the riots,his on holiday.

His an ineffective leader,even Labour knows what to do in this situation and thats saying something.

"on holiday."


No The PM is on his way back now

That would make things ten times worse

Definately, using lethal force is not the way our police prefers to operate, and rightfully so.

"Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding."

Really how? they will be to scared to take on the Army as the looters are unarmed for starters,plus who would want to be shot.

Also well done to the Journalist on Sky News,more braver than the police and David Cameron put together,also his catching these bastards faces aswell so well done to him,sadly they will only get a slap on the wrist knowing this Country.

So you would just allow this to carry on then? or would you try to talk to them about the reason why they destroyed family buisnesses or robbing stuff in Currys?

Because if the army start massacring people on the streets it's not going to go down well, it will lead to even more resentment and probably more people out on the street rioting, and even if it didn't a peace built on repression is no peace at all

Tear gas, tasers, rubber bullets, water cannons - these would be better than lethal rounds

Some football matches rightly being called off already...

This is MADNESS. WTF has this country come to!

Hearing that someone's been found dead in Croydon apparently, if true I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the last of the night

Its better that happening than them doing this.

I'm fully expecting the England match to be called off, shame as I was looking forward to this!
