can you do that to beat poetry?
Ok,
No need to ask them what they want. You can see on the television, they want Niki shoes, and Sony Ipods (I believe the IPAD 2 is the mostly desired).
I will bet you can run very fast to be able to catch up to them for a hug, am I right?

Good grief Kate, that is just pure awesomeness.
Poor citizens of the UK have elevated from baseball bats to campers trench shovels for defence now. Someone mentioned arming citizens with guns earlier, but the problem is unless they happen to be a 90 year old ww2 vet they wouldn’t know which end to hold, much less be affective with.
I suggest going back to your ancesteral roots and make some homemade spears. 10,000 yeas of evolution cannot be all wrong, the bonus is they are cheap, reliable and simple enough for a child to use.
Other than that, all I can say to the unarmed citizens of the UK is – It sucks too be you!
I’m sure all those arrested will receive a good talking to and probation. That will really teach them a lesson.

London riots spark shock and gloating around the world
The extraordinary spectacle of anarchy, arson and looting on London’s streets resulted on Tuesday in some of the world’s most authoritarian regimes – including those of Iran, Libya and even Robert Mugabe – gloating over the ‘failure’ of Britain’s liberal society.

It creeps me out that the entrenching tool appears to be the weapon of choice. News of spreading riots prompted me to try to contact my family over there just to check in with them.
Maybe squaddies are organizing. They would know to use the entrenching tool. Those things have killed more people than the plague…

The model with the optional pick for stubborn ground and saw-toothed blade for root cutting are great for the serious gardener too.
I dunno why they’d need close quarters battle items.
I mean, they have firearms to protect themselves, It’s a common-law right from waaaaaaaaaaay back that the people can have the tools to defend them selves. Right?
Right?
Right?
Niki shoes? SONY iPods?

Being affective would be about all they’d manage, because to be effective, they’d also need bullets.

peterJ . . in England I believe they use the “stern talking to” method.
Much more effective than “a good talking to”.
Now a baton with removable handle has moved up to second place.
This is very sad. When will Britons wake up? Time to recognize they are rolling downhill, and picking up speed.
Multi-clobber-alism at work?
…Limeys with no guns, in their own streets is a dreadful pity.
So baseball is picking up in the UK? Americans should be happy their favourite pasttime is spreading.
England of lore would of given those snotty nosed thugs a right thunking, now they cower in their homes waiting for Nanny to protect them. Can you imagine seeing a couple dozen hoodie wearing thugs coming up your street armed with bats and you do nothing? Me either, I’d of met the scum suckers head on with my garden shovel and the dog incase some could outrun me.
A cricket bat would work just as well. Regardless, they all would work on zombies too, which is a nice side benefit.
No one has ever used a baseball bat in the UK to play baseball.
And a cricket bat would not work as well – too heavy and cumbersome.
Peter O’Donnell, I don’t know what you do for a living, but you’ve just penned a monster hit!

Allah almighty,I’ve met so many good English folks the last few years,from electricians,drywallers to nurses and doctors,and all said the same thing,”England is no place to raise your kids anymore”.
I thought they were exaggerating,apparently not.
And if you DO fight back against the bastards that are destroying your life,I wonder how the British justice system views protection of property.

“I wonder how the British justice system views protection of property.”
They don’t. There are countless examples in the UK of people defending their homes and being charged instead of the criminal.
Where the left gets it all wrong – people give a rats ass about your politically correct totalitarian laws about home defence. When the chips are down nearly everyone will kill or maim a home invader if they have the physical capacity to do so. Guns aside.
It’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
In situations like this, as city’s burn and people protect their homes and families – forget it. If the left tries to arrest and convict homeowners trying to defend themselves, they will have a revolution on their hands, because it’s crossing an instinctive line in the sand.
I say, let them try. When the dust settles on this UK matter there are going to be significant changes in that country most probably for the good. If not we can expect allot of indigenous British white flight refugees to places like Canada. Maybe they will help stem our own looming black riots in places like Toronto.
Oh yea, our turn is just up the road somewhere.

as for the British..once upon a time there was a ruling on the books known as ‘death by misadventure’ one part of which held that anyone killed in the commission of a crime on their part was held responsible for their own actions…maybe that part should be added back in.
looks like a few have found a stockpile of the old British gumption…bring back the draft for the ‘Enfield Army’

For the record she could order every single one of those thug’s hunted down and deported to the middle of nowhere and there would be no hereing or court case or anything any one could say yet she won’t do it not even to save her own country ….they deserve it i guess?
To paraphrase Bob from ‘That 70’s Show’ – “Hey, I seen a guy get hit with a trenching shovel once – he went down!”
@ dmorris who asks “Peter O’Donnell, I don’t know what you do for a living, but you’ve just penned a monster hit!” I think he does weather related work and I hope that he is not one of the 700 who will be cut from Environment Canada.
Btw Peter, that was great. I have been trying to humm a tune to that while picking our cherry trees.

well…since that’s pretty much what’s in the White House at the moment, your point is ? 😉
actually, come to think of it…’bama’s more like ‘baby doc’…the ‘lavish lifestyle while the people suffer’. ‘destroying the economy with stupid decisions’ and ‘delegating everything to his advisors while he vacations’ parts anyway…pity he didn’t sign on to the anti-communist part instead.
My Dad told me that the Army-Issued folding shovel made a great little weapon for close-combat during WW2, especially as they kept the blade pretty sharp to cut through roots, etc. Quicker and lighter to swing than a M-1 and, when the other folks got really ‘close’, the short length made it extremely efficient for various pokes and prods.
if you remember the TV show “the deadliest warrior”…the e-tool was proven to be very nasty indeed…just as every generation of grunts has found out in every army in the world…

“My Dad told me that the Army-Issued folding shovel made a great little weapon for close-combat during WW2”
No doubt. Although many of us are glad we live in NA, where any mid-range rifle cartridge is readily available in a plethora of stock & action styles.
“Close quarters”, I’d stick to a .45ACP 1911 (customized) as my personal choice. That’s just me your mileage could vary. I like the 9mm as a backup pistol, and do very much like .357mag save for mob control as a revolver (only 6 rounds & slow to reload). Though with tritium sites is hard to beat for night prowlers.
Think Zulu’s against the Brits at Roark’s Drift 1879 – somewhere around 150 British troops killed over 4000 savage Zulu warriors attacking them, using breech loading rifles! (Only around 17 British died).
A stout oak cane, with a brass head is most effective. In keeping pests at bay, if not an aide in social contact.
