There are some viddies out there of shops and the law abiding getting the rioters to leave. I saw one where 10-15 looters are chased off by 30-40 non-looters. The looters were running away dropping things and being chased. Each group had certain noticeable exterior characteristics shall we say.

I can't find the original quote, but somebody(probably William F Buckley) said that minorities riot by burning down the neighborhood, while whites riot by moving to the suburbs and voting for tax cuts.

Too slow on the draw.
Heard a radio clip where two girls said they really enjoyed the looting. "It shows the police we can do anything we like"
Can I have your names addresses and phone numbers please, then we'll see "what you can get away with" slags.

I guess 16,000 police aren't enough, lol
0242: Gloucestershire Police say they are dealing with what they called a "gathering" in the Brunswick area of Gloucester.
There has been some disorder around the city, with roaming youths setting fires in bins.
And a major fire has taken hold at the old Brunswick Road campus of Gloscat (Gloucestershire College of Art and Technology), a large 60s building that has been derelict since the college moved in 2007. It's next to Gloucester library which reports suggest is also on fire.
0213: @CheShA in Manchester tweets: Group of 5 lads, no hoods or even jumpers, walking down Oldham St with full holdalls; kicked a window on the way past.
0211: Merseyside Police say four fire engines were attacked while attending incidents on Lawrence Road, in the south Liverpool area.
0210: The fire near Tottenham High Road thought to have been caused by a number of lorries exploding at a recycling centre - not a diesel depot as we reported earlier - is now out and firefighters have left the scene.
0203: Thieves attempted to steal a cash machine from outside a supermarket in Bootle, North of Liverpool, according to Merseyside Police.
0200: @SimonR2011 in Gloucester tweets: Police helicopter circling Gloucester. Woolworths & former Gloscat building on fire. Mass looting. #Gloucester #Gloucesterriots
0158: This image of a burnt BBC radio car that was destroyed in Manchester was sent in by reporter Nick Garnett.
