Good!
I noticed in our local paper that the Police had said quite clearly that the local 'yoof' needn't think about joining in!

I saw a link from FB to a photo of a looter, baseball cap, hood up, leaving a shop with a HUGE box. He must have been so happy. Except the name on the side was Tena.

For those who aren't of that age, Tena make incontinence products. I hope he p*ssed himself laughing when he opened the box.

I smiled at the photo of poundland in Leicester and the shop window was full of large plastice boxes, I can just imajine people stuggling to carry them and they are less than £5 to buy!!!!!!

Still would put a bet that some big crook was stirred up and like a stone in a pool the minuals working for them passed on the message to riot and were qucikly joined by some fun and excitment needing young people and those who were just after some free stuff, the crooks would have backed away at the start and let the rest take over. I have always been amazed how quick nice, cared for children can turn to wild creatures with no head for anything or anyone, so those with poor backgrounds and bad upbringing will change at the drop of a hat when they can actualy achieve something and maybe bring home something that thier parents and peers will be pleased with.

PS. for all those who have never worked with young teenagers, try leaving a group alone for a while, maybe add some cheap booze and a bit of excitment and see what you get!!!!!

A boy has been arrested for breaking into a music shop and stealing a medieval stringed instrument, turns out he was just another Luter..

So what does everyone think about todays "front page" as I glanced at it?

Guys jailed for 4 years for inciting riots on facebook?! I mean I am in no way 'with' them - but being jailed for creating a facebook group!?

Surely the only reason the groups were brought to the attention of the police was the fact that 'social' networking is exactly that - it polices itself due to the 'majority factor' when putting such opinions online?

My major frightener from all of this is that the cases going through now could be used in the future for any kind of arrest around protest groups.

Although I am dead against anything that hinders another person - jailing someone for their opinion? even if their opinion does incite moral injustice (totally subjective even in the correct political channels!)

I see where you're coming from and I would hate to think I would ever be arrested for voicing my opinion $:-\$ but, if these guys were actually organising riots, times, places, what they were going to do etc (whether on-line, on the phone or in person) then I think they should be locked up.
If it was a page for people to express an opinion then no, of course they shouldn't be jailed for that. But you know what the papers are like, they only print what suits them

bazzais where are you comming from your previous posts (crying for the breakup of your country) now when the courts are dealing out sentences you are moaning has your head been up your arse all through these riots the protest that was for the death of a drug dealer transgressed into a free for all not by impoverished youths who cant get a job but the crucks of the future society social workers sports people etc with the demise of anybody in the drug chain that demise creates a vacuum the opportunity for others to get on the gravy train van loads of stolen gear the forkers could not get enough of it killing each other in the free for all that ensued and you are supporting them

I have not done enough research as to exactly why they were arrested - just commenting on the headlines I saw.

As I say, I dont condone it - perhaps I have got the wrong end of the stick and these guys were actually heads of a gang under their command -perhaps they were so clever at inciting violence that they actually forgot that facebook was a socail network and the rest of the world can actually see it

- who knows.

Is 'making examples' enough?

The news last week had some bird escaping with what looked like a packet of crisps and another with some socks and a bottle of soda? Who smashed the window? Who started the ruck? Who made the real money?

Protest and talk is one thing - being havok is another.

Lets face it - we even have legit parties in this country that stand for worse than creating a facebook page!?
