I have been banned (Admin's prerogative) when people like you complain about my posts or I rise to the bait of trolls. You can't moan about something of which you are a part. Of more interest is why you are never banned. :wink:

But the fact is that in seven years I never have been banned... while you have been banned on multiple occasions... :wink:

If you 'll notice in the video people were acting spontaneously nothing organizesd unlike the hooligans who come prepared with gas bombs and flares.. Helping yourself to a brew bottles of wine compared to planning on causing bodily harm is much much worse...

Football attracts hooligan behaviour and nothing much has been done to stop it over the years. It's a cultural expectation. Much like bullfighting. You only go there if you want to see blood.

Similarly, there seems nothing spontaneous about the lootings. Opportunistic maybe. Certainly the London lootings took place over several days and subsequently led to a lot of violence.

In the UK a few years ago, a new (or more commonly occurring) type of crime hit the streets and was mostly carried out by 'Black Youths' and is known (in slang terms) as 'Steaming'.

A large group would simply rush into a store, grab off whatever took their fancy and hastily depart.

The thinking behind such action being that "They all looked the same to me" was a safe assumption since THAT was the usual response from any witnesses to such events.

Now that there is so much 'CCTV' coverage, perhaps the practise has suffered some abatement although the 'Hoodie' suddenly became 'In Vogue' at around the same time as surveillance cameras became popular.

Since the 'White Youth' are now apt to emulate the actions, behaviour and dress code of the 'Black', a new problem has arisen and 'Steaming in disguise' is likely to become the next problem, particularly if the availability of worthwhile employment opportunities ensure that 'Times get Tougher'.

One can easily imagine a scenario where a 'Witness' to a dually operated incidence of 'Steaming', might well be obliged to utter the very same immortal words:- "They all looked the same to me"........... God Bless 'em. :wink:

CCTV footage. USA, not UK
no offense to the easily offended, but they really do all look the same to me. Hope tsukoui doesn't take it too badly, sorry mate.
