Didn't really say a lot.

6,000 Police on Londons streets last night, 16,000 will be on duty tonight as all police leave is cancelled.

Court processes will be sped up for law breakers.

To be fair though, the rate at which the riots are spreading I don't think 16k officers will be enough.

what's the story on the guy that was killed by the police? c0r-version please.

Posted by Jackson on Aug-09-2011 10:27:

The guy was a suspect in a shooting of a man.
Armed Police go to arrest him while he's travelling in a Taxi.
Suspect shoots - misses.
Armed Police shoot - and hits.
Suspects family arranges a peaceful march from place of shooting to the police station.
March turns violent = Riots.

Thats pretty much it - but versions of the story do vary wildly.

The only thing I've heard in Leeds is police dealing with "small pockets of unrest" in Chapeltown, which is about five miles out from the city. Everything seems very calm here - you wouldn't know anything was happening.

I would say, if you're caught looting, starting fires etc, you run the risk of being shot with LIVE rounds. Utter scum.

This is redicul�ise. I say give them 3 hours to disperse, then go in with all the tear gas and rubber bullets in the world. I'm all for the right to protest and peaceful demonstrations, but when these things turn ugly it's better to go down on them with all the force you can to prevent loss of human life.

Is it wrong that I'm getting massive vibes from these riots? I've been listening to neurofunk all day.

What does that mean?

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-09-2011 14:12:

I mean that I find images and coverage of the riots (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14453918) extremely atmospheric and engrossing, to the point they've been influencing the music I want to listen and the mood I'm in.

Posted by shaw on Aug-09-2011 14:15:

Spoken, more inflection on 'mas' or 'vibes'?

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-09-2011 14:35:

In a faux-Jamaican accent, like a true junglist souljah.

Posted by shaw on Aug-09-2011 14:38:

"massive VIBES" or "MASsive vibes?"

British officials and Interpol have issued an APB for this man.

The leader of shithockeyteamquaida has claimed responsibility for the unrest in the UK this week.

All I know for sure in the mids, Brum on the main street, go down that every time I visit there, and Nottingham, they ended up in some area after failing to break into the main victoria shopping centre.

Lulz.

I still await your response, System-J.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-09-2011 15:46:

I don't get the question.

Posted by shaw on Aug-09-2011 15:48:

On which syllable are you placing greater emphasis, if spoken? I've never heard the phrase, so I'm curious.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-09-2011 16:20:

Erm... I don't know. How does anyone say those two words? I'm not sure I've ever said, or heard anyone say "massive vibes" out loud before. It was a semi-serious reference to junglist terminology. Vibes used to be common club slang for the mood or atmosphere - the NME's section on dance music back in the 1990s used to be called Vibes - and massive is a favourite superlative. "Massive tune - feel the vibes!" etc. etc.

UK hardcore mutations are filled with sonic recreations of social fragmentation, inner-city anger and underground resistance. Seeing this imagery puts me in the mood for neurofunk and dubstep. It doesn't mean I condone the violence or want to get involved, but there's a certain edge to the music lacking just about everywhere else these days, and when violence like this actually breaks out, and becomes fetishised and hyper-realised by the media, jungle's latent threat actually starts to draw blood.

Posted by shaw on Aug-09-2011 16:24:

Well, fuck.

Read it aloud and let me know the result.

Looting and destroying is no protest. It's time to shoot them down.
