Just to let you know that the use of plastic bullets has been authorized this evening and ongoing...........!
Any Looters on here ??????? Come get some !!!
Yep and for those that dont know they are not like slugs, they are over an inch wide and hurt like hell.
Though these degenerates will wear the marks like a medal and get lots of pats on the back and enchorogement from their degenerate associates.
I shot plenty baton rounds in Belfast and Newry during the troubles, one guy I got right up the ass!
I can confirm that they do indeed sting a bit. They look like a rubber marital aid rather than a bullet, and if you put a bit of grit in the barrel it is like a shotgun round. Failing that, you could also fire it to bounce off the deck. It doubles its velocity which a cornered mate found out in Belfast when he fired it of the ground and decapitated his assailant.
Sorry, but your entire post sounds like bull# to me.
No it bloody is not bullcrap!

Hi guys, I Missed the 11am announcement but am I correct in saying they have done bugger all and are going to meet again on Thursday?They just going to put a few more cop on the streets?
This is insane as by Thursday the whole country could be up in smoke.
We here in Southampton about an hour from London have already had a warning by Hampshire Police last night saying they are aware of groups trying to set things up here using social network sites.
There are messages going around asking people "to show London how it's done". Apparently it's supposed to be a joke but many are taking it serious and trying to form groups.
Hampshire police have sent a number of their riot police up to London to help out but have assured us that they have enough back up to deal with situations here should they arise.
It's a worrying situation and not enough is being done from what I can see

There was no rioting in Manchester last night; false reports.
A protest is being held in Cardiff and parts of London, against the rioters.

From 1973 to 1981, over 42,000 plastic bullets were fired in Northern Ireland. Fourteen people were killed by plastic bullet impacts, including nine children. Most of the deaths were[ 12][ 13][ 14] allegedly[ 12][ 13][ 14] caused by the British security allegedly caused by the British security services misusing the weapon, firing at close range and at chest or head level rather than targeting below the waist One of the victims, from Twinbrook in west Belfast died on 22 May having been struck by a plastic bullet fired by a member of the Royal Fusiliers on 19 May[ 15][ 16] 1981.[ 15][ 16] These concerns led to campaigners 1981. These concerns led to campaigners such as Emma Groves founding the United Campaign Against Plastic Bullets, to call for tighter mmediate controls on their use, more accountability after such shootings and even a total ban on their use in Northern Ireland

Doesn't the same work when there are anti-government protests in the Middle East or elsewhere in the world? The West could take in all those protesting their governments and the problem would be solved too
non-lethal ammo doesn't come with a guarantee

The Fusilier in question later on became my section commander. He is from Ashington in Northumberland and a good guy.
Do not call someone a bullcrapper without proof.

Some reports of minor spill overs to the South East suburbs; Purley, apparently a guy got a brick in the face. Coulsdon, Waitrose and car showroom windows smashed. Croydon is also apparently kicking off again now.
One thing that concerns me is that people are focussing on the little animals involved and ignoring the conditions that created them. If we hadn't allowed the UK govt to impose increasingly anti-social policies for the last 30 years and teach everybody that greed is good our society wouldn't be the wreck it is today. As I've stated before -the UK govt have stolen 1,000 billion pounds from the UK taxpayers, money that is and will be removed from social services used largely to help the poor and poor areas, to fund the bailout of the rich and irresponsible.
If the UK govt push forward with these cuts to our social services, what we are seeing will be just the beginning. Stealing from the poor to fund the rich is wrong - we all know it. Make the bankers pay for their own mistakes...
