And our strong tail of Court Appearances and Excessive Sentencing performed very well last year.’ </p> <p>Last year the Hoodies dominated most days of the 1st Riot and looted beautifully throughout. They found the gaps on countless occasions and their running between the JD Sports outlets was excellent.</p> <p>The Police were bitterly disappointed at last years defeat. ‘We leaked a lot of easy HDTVs early on, and some of our guys were caught out by the Hoodies sheer aggression. But that’s the way the Hoodies riot – hard but fair.’ </p> <p>Police in Croyden were also seeking a better performance after last year’s golden duck. A repeat performance could see them dropped for the more aggressive Army. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39635#post-112482 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:06:36 +0000 weematt 112482@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the comments.

We, the small minorities, are tired of being looked down on by this large group. During the riots last year it was constantly put out by the media that looting was being being carried out by small minorities in the affected cities. Video evidence clearly shows that the perpetrators were, on average, of average stature.<br /> We believe these constant claims are the height of nonsense and are today launching a civil action against the vast majority claiming that we are being falsely accused and discriminated against."</p> <p>When interviewed Mr Thumb said, "I hope that the most of of the vast majority realise that we don't blame all of them for what has happened. We suspect that it is only a few of the vast majority who are the troublemakers." </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=32499#post-92355 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:17:39 +0000 Qoxiivi 92355@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice.

Hundreds of other looters escaped scot-free because they weren't so easily identifiable and also because they could basically just run away," claims Helen Crumble of pressure group 'Equal Rights, Equal Wrongs'.</p> <p>"Not only that," Crumble continued, in a slightly higher pitch. "This unfortunate looter was severely hampered in his attempt to escape by all the broken glass and stuff strewn across the floor by able-bodied looters, and no member of staff lifted a finger to help him make good his escape. People forget, when they watch the Paralympics that not everyone in a wheelchair is as nimble or as gifted as Tanni Grey-Thompson."</p> <p>Crumble thinks shops should be obliged to install getaway ramps as this would go some way to redressing the balance in providing equal access to stolen goods for the mobility-challenged.</p> <p>"Also, tills could be made a lot easier to smash open. Wielding a hammer when you're sitting down makes you feel a bit stupid."</p> <p>"And it would be nice," Crumble added, "if they stopped putting the stuff that's really worth nicking so high up on the shelves. Asking another looter to reach something down for you is terribly demeaning." </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29776#post-83625 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:36:43 +0000 dvo4fun 83625@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>When there are two good pieces on the same subject it must be difficult to decide which one to go with.
