Kostas 1,468 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not its just chavs, finding an oppertunity to go and steal something becuase the police are stretched. These are the type of people you would not want to be near.Funny you mention that. Back then, with Christmas approaching and the center of Athens burning, the mainstream media concentrated on the various cases of shops being looted and ransacked. While the rioters were burning banks, fighting the police and destroying the window displays of stores in the most expensive area of Athens a second group consisting mostly of people who couldn't care less about the riots were busy with plundering the stores and transferring the goods.The illegal "black" market of Athens flourished for a couple of months after the events but in a country with history of police aggression it was imo less important than the reasons behind the riot.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 At least car bombs and petrol bombs have been kept out of all this...so far. To the point above, I think the Paris riots of a few years ago are a much more appropriate comparison.There have been a few petrol bombs thrown now. 2 buses in Peckham set on fire by them.

Kez 2,727 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Loads of rumours flying around on facebook about cov. It's all just hearsay though. I have a PCSO friend that has posted a status saying "this is madness" he's currently working on the street in Coventry so who knows.

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 David Cameron is returning from his holiday.The police should be shooting the rioters. Or at the very least, using water cannons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
