    1. @leonkfox Checked out the news this morning, the riots in London were so out of control that a number of local communities have formed their own vigilante gangs to fight back against the rioters. There were also groups of sikhs, muslims and even christians blockading their respective temples/mosques/churches to deter rioters from attacking the buildings. Whats really annoying though is that the POLICE are trying to disband these people from protecting their properties instead of focusing completely on the rioters and arsonists.

      2. @ignaesia I'll say it's important to be sure these other groups don't become offensive or antagonistic themselves, but FFS! Self-defense (and by extension, defense of one's property) is kind of a basic right.

        1. @scribus thats pretty much how I feel about it. The police gave a statement to the press that these vigilantes will not be tolerated and should remain at home to let the police deal with the rioters... again I can understand the concern for these groups themselves becoming violent but shouldn't the focus be on the groups that are ALREADY violent?!
