Re: Yes Zeeb Send a noteboard - 09/08/2011 07:32:18 PM
I saw something saying that in one borough they had more volunteers than they had cleaning up that needed doing.


That was in Clapham junction and there were definitely a LOT more people than were needed. I went to Chalk Farm, then Camden earlier on but there was little tidying up to do and it had already been done by the time we got there. There are so many people willing to help but little organisation as to where the help should be directed. Calling local councils and police for advice has been completely unhelpful. Very frustrating.

I found it somewhat last night, having a sister who lives in Brixton snoopcester - 08/08/2011 02:50:57 PM 1229 Views
I'm sure the media will manage to blame the police somehow Wibble - 08/08/2011 03:11:40 PM 1141 Views

Sounds good to me *NM* Wibble - 08/08/2011 04:06:04 PM 665 Views
Okay, bored of these riots now, time for the police to follow 10CCs example... Wibble - 08/08/2011 09:28:36 PM 1267 Views
Given what has been reported snoopcester - 08/08/2011 04:07:13 PM 1300 Views
So, did the original suspect have a gun/fire bullets? beetnemesis - 09/08/2011 04:19:16 PM 1273 Views
Had a gun, didn't fire snoopcester - 09/08/2011 06:51:54 PM 1225 Views
Not actually true Wibble - 09/08/2011 07:01:33 PM 1160 Views
Seems it isn't exactly but I'm not sure your reply is 100% true either snoopcester - 09/08/2011 07:27:00 PM 1276 Views
Now that's a good point Wibble - 09/08/2011 07:45:26 PM 1240 Views
I think with both they're putting disclaimers in snoopcester - 09/08/2011 08:56:17 PM 1259 Views
There's no evidence he didn't fire? Imagine that. Joel - 09/08/2011 11:22:05 PM 1178 Views
He's saying the evidence available is inconclusive either way. Rebekah - 09/08/2011 11:37:06 PM 1259 Views
Fair enough. Joel - 09/08/2011 11:56:16 PM 1300 Views
There are various proofs snoopcester - 10/08/2011 12:06:41 AM 1182 Views
True, but if tests are inconclusive rather than merely incomplete those proofs may not be available. Joel - 10/08/2011 12:47:34 AM 1218 Views
Bullshit Wibble - 10/08/2011 01:12:46 AM 1084 Views
If that's the case it's hard to say they overreacted. Joel - 10/08/2011 01:22:45 AM 1086 Views
I do see why it matters if he fired or not random thoughts - 10/08/2011 12:46:12 AM 1143 Views
Again, I don't know the British standard, so I can only guess how it works. Joel - 10/08/2011 12:54:20 AM 1234 Views
Though if he had a gun, in a sock, not drawn... beetnemesis - 10/08/2011 01:50:05 AM 1195 Views
sadly the rioters didn't wait for facts random thoughts - 10/08/2011 02:56:46 AM 1328 Views
They've announced that the "unknown" gun was never fired beetnemesis - 10/08/2011 02:04:26 PM 1193 Views
So? Are the police supposed to let him get the first shot? *NM* random thoughts - 10/08/2011 03:15:59 PM 671 Views
...said Gaddafi. *NM* Tim - 10/08/2011 12:11:31 AM 635 Views
And?... *NM* Wibble - 10/08/2011 12:17:51 AM 614 Views
And we just went to war with him because he was shooting people in the street. Tim - 10/08/2011 09:56:07 AM 1227 Views
Last time I checked, you guys have a vote. First past the post, sure, but it's still a vote. Tom - 10/08/2011 04:33:07 AM 1158 Views

If you want to talk statistics... Tom - 13/08/2011 08:26:39 PM 1134 Views
So the death penalty is a deterrent for the crimes it doesn't apply to, but not for those it does? Tim - 14/08/2011 10:58:14 AM 1319 Views
No, that wasn't my point. Tom - 14/08/2011 09:39:14 PM 1292 Views
