Admittedly the violence in London is deliberately spread and is just about theft and destruction for the sake of it, so difficult for the police to locate and deal with. But even so, from what we are seeing and hearing the police are deployed where nothing seems to be happening, none where break ins are taking place and fires are being left to burn, despite no-one being in the area. I am lost as to what the tactics the police are using.
They seem to be trying the standard containment and preparing for confrontation. But there are no confrontations, these little shits are just stealing stock from certain target shops and running away to another location if the police turn up.
The News though, Oh My God. I have been watching Sky because they are less likely to suddenly wheel out someone from the Left who will give all kinds of moronic, blame the cuts comments. But even Sky haven't a clue. They ask questions to emphasise the drama, but give no analysis. Most annoyingly they keep referring to unrest and links to the shooting of Mark Duggan.
It is not unrest, it is straightforward criminality and it is not linked in any way to the shooting, nor supportive of the anti-police stance. These people need to be found by any means, and once convicted and in addition to any custodial or financial penalty, they must have their benefits removed. If children, then their parents benefits. People like this do not fear authority, because they don't lose anything.
If you own your own house, it can be lost, if you have always relied on the state to house you and give you pocket money while you trade drugs, or burgle houses to fill your spare time, then what can be taken away? Their liberty and in particular their benefits. It will introduce a new level of respect for the law. It will provide a boundary, just like children need.
From early this evening it has been clear to me, as the thieves have been confronted by the police they run away and the police need weapons of reach to deal with them. With the level of lawlessness and the serious arson taking place I think if baton rounds are used and extensively used, it is not the time to consider how much they might sting. Or the whining leftie who earlier said you have to go careful as there are children about. So?
As I write Kevin Maguire has been 'interviewed' on Sky and ah, bless the poor luv had to talk sense as even he couldn't find an angle to support these people with their legitimate grievance, which would be the nonsense he normally spouts. But no, he can see no reason for the behaviour and he is happy to define them as morons.
But again, what are the police doing? Another challenge, another failure.
