Heard the Chief of London Police answering that question on NPR this afternoon. He said that bringing the Army in "would only make those rioters feel like they lived in an occupied zone." Evidently the feelings of the rioters is paramount, not the businesses destroyed and people beaten and terrorized. Thank God for the Second Amendment in the USA.
I just got on ET to ask for a good link to the riots in the UK. Thanks for this one. Pretty good. Anyone got more?
Unbelievable! I am outraged! I am outraged that white men in once proud England will strip and hand over their clothing without putting up a fight. Shocking cowardice. The black guy isn't even armed. I've had it with being white. I'm going to see what I can do about becoming a Korean convenience store owner. Plenty of YouTube evidence that those people have some spunk.
lol. Shoulda seen 'em in '92 in LA on the rooftops with shotguns and using them. Even the LAPD stayed clear of Koreatown.
Right-wing vigilante groups are now taking the streets to try to stop the rioters: <i>LONDON â The leader of a British far-right group says its members are taking to the streets of British cities in an attempt to quell riots that have spread across the country for four nights. Stephen Lennon, leader of the English Defense League, told The Associated Press that up to 1,000 members planned to turn out in Luton, where the group is based, and others areas that have suffered unrest, including the northwestern city of Manchester. Lennon said some members had were already carrying out patrols trying to deter rioters, and that hundreds more would join them Wednesday. "We're going to stop the riots â police obviously can't handle it," Lennon told the AP.</i> http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/7690652.html
