London riots...
Some scary stuff going on over the past few days - it was quite eerie watching the news last night and this morning
Was it the shooting/killing of a man (can't recall his name) by the police maybe what sparked it off? And then tossers see that as an excuse to steal and cause violence and fear Buildings and flats were set on fire with innocent people in them.
This made me angry:

And its not just in London either.

Re: London riots...
Crazy stuff indeed. Haven't really paid attention to the news these last few days so I'm pretty much just learning about it today, cause suddenly it's here in the media as well.
I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

I think it's time to activate the Bat-Signal.

Cine-Asia's stock was in there as well. I think it happened to them once before with HKL.

Re: London riots...
Our liberal laws are too ingrained to ever change.
These scumbags will walk away with a slap on the wrist as per usual.
Cutting their benefits would probably contravene their "human rights".

Oh, sure, many will be charged... but the punishments will be light.bradavon wrote:You reckon 1200 people won't get charged?
All tough talk and no real action.

Re: London riots...
The only problem with cutting the benefits is...do we really want to incite more robberies?
I think something like a chain gang would be great - imagine smashing rocks in this wet weather!
And OT, but will the Government be so dilligent in punishing the bankers who have ruined society with their reckless gambling? Thought not.

Re: London riots...
That's a real shame
Is Cine Asia's stuff insured or is it all gone (same for Artificial Eye)? I certainly have a few of their BD's/DVDs.
