What teen, Mark Duggan was 29?
And he had a gun.

No. Witness reports all stated he had his hands up but was shot. It was deemed an "execution" by one witness.

yes but thankfully not by our courts

which is what matters

not in his hand

The riots were a case of opportunistic theft that has been encouraged by excessive consumerism. This is what happens when you teach people to value having expensive material goods - if they find themselves in an opportune situation, they're going to make the most of it. Especially if they already have very little wealth or possessions anyway.

The only people that should have been prosecuted were those who torched family-run businesses, that is unexplainable and disgusting.

were you there?

Yes Left Wing Scum

forensic evidence proved he didn't have it in his hand
jury also decided he threw it before being confronted
bye

I dont recall riots anywhere else like Norwich, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Cork, Dover, Orkney, Perth, Stirling, Portsmouth, Rhyll, Newquay etc

so the youth there are different from very small sections of London?

I don't think those who did that were politicised at all so this is just a bizarre comment, please stop trolling arista, you're better than that

Some were Left Wingers
that was in the news.


No such trolling

Are you going?..
He lobbed it out of the car.... the armed officer wasn't aware, it was a split second decision.
It was a shame he was killed but it doesn't explain away the riots.

The riots were crime, by low rent oiks with no stable family life and no father figure. They got jailed as they deserved.

I didn't deny that just said it weren't in his hand :conf2:

Then it must be true.

Uh, what now?

Is the single mother argument rearing its ugly head?

if only this was around when the riots were happening

Yes, those vile scumbags would have got a gut full of water and knock some sense into their criminal bodies

He had a gun, that's all anyone knew at the time, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Bang on right Kizzy

Right can we get back to mad boris and his cannons of chav destruction now?

No one's going to be turning water cannon on to peaceful protesters.

Im not sure the police would hold back on gay pride:conf::shocked:

No... that's the bubble machine. It's quite different.

lol.
