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.

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.

Funny how Hung finds a relation to Japan with ANYTHING.

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

That one is especially sickening. I've been trying to sign this since yesterday but the site keeps crashing:

Our liberal laws are too ingrained to ever change.

You reckon 1200 people won't get charged?

Oh, sure, many will be charged... but the punishments will be light.
All tough talk and no real action.

The only problem with cutting the benefits is...do we really want to incite more robberies?

... with certain items lost and thus going out of print forever, while others will be far harder to find than before...

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.
What an evil thing to do, inhuman
