There's no evidence he didn't fire? Imagine that. Joel Send a noteboard - 09/08/2011 11:22:05 PM
There's also no evidence you aren't Maggie Thatcher, but if I were to allege that the burden of proof would be on me, because you can't prove a negative. I heard we stole presumption of innocence from ya'll, but of course if you can prove we didn't I'll accept that. ;)

It's pretty scary. Rebekah - 08/08/2011 02:19:51 PM 1020 Views
I found it somewhat last night, having a sister who lives in Brixton snoopcester - 08/08/2011 02:50:57 PM 1030 Views
I'm sure the media will manage to blame the police somehow Wibble - 08/08/2011 03:11:40 PM 935 Views
I've been following the story. Spriteling - 08/08/2011 03:26:51 PM 981 Views
I cannot quite make out what is going on Camilla - 08/08/2011 03:27:57 PM 1140 Views
No, that's about it as far as we know Wibble - 08/08/2011 03:40:15 PM 1169 Views

Continue to use live ammunition until no one is protesting. *NM* Tom - 08/08/2011 03:53:50 PM 531 Views
Sounds good to me *NM* Wibble - 08/08/2011 04:06:04 PM 513 Views
Okay, bored of these riots now, time for the police to follow 10CCs example... Wibble - 08/08/2011 09:28:36 PM 1071 Views
Given what has been reported snoopcester - 08/08/2011 04:07:13 PM 1090 Views
So, did the original suspect have a gun/fire bullets? beetnemesis - 09/08/2011 04:19:16 PM 1073 Views
Had a gun, didn't fire snoopcester - 09/08/2011 06:51:54 PM 1008 Views
Not actually true Wibble - 09/08/2011 07:01:33 PM 980 Views
Seems it isn't exactly but I'm not sure your reply is 100% true either snoopcester - 09/08/2011 07:27:00 PM 1082 Views
Now that's a good point Wibble - 09/08/2011 07:45:26 PM 1042 Views
I think with both they're putting disclaimers in snoopcester - 09/08/2011 08:56:17 PM 1089 Views
There's no evidence he didn't fire? Imagine that. Joel - 09/08/2011 11:22:05 PM 988 Views
He's saying the evidence available is inconclusive either way. Rebekah - 09/08/2011 11:37:06 PM 1056 Views
Fair enough. Joel - 09/08/2011 11:56:16 PM 1109 Views
There are various proofs snoopcester - 10/08/2011 12:06:41 AM 1000 Views
True, but if tests are inconclusive rather than merely incomplete those proofs may not be available. Joel - 10/08/2011 12:47:34 AM 1029 Views
Bullshit Wibble - 10/08/2011 01:12:46 AM 892 Views
If that's the case it's hard to say they overreacted. Joel - 10/08/2011 01:22:45 AM 892 Views
I do see why it matters if he fired or not random thoughts - 10/08/2011 12:46:12 AM 950 Views
Again, I don't know the British standard, so I can only guess how it works. Joel - 10/08/2011 12:54:20 AM 1038 Views
Though if he had a gun, in a sock, not drawn... beetnemesis - 10/08/2011 01:50:05 AM 1001 Views
sadly the rioters didn't wait for facts random thoughts - 10/08/2011 02:56:46 AM 1132 Views
They've announced that the "unknown" gun was never fired beetnemesis - 10/08/2011 02:04:26 PM 984 Views
So? Are the police supposed to let him get the first shot? *NM* random thoughts - 10/08/2011 03:15:59 PM 539 Views
...said Gaddafi. *NM* Tim - 10/08/2011 12:11:31 AM 511 Views
And?... *NM* Wibble - 10/08/2011 12:17:51 AM 485 Views
And we just went to war with him because he was shooting people in the street. Tim - 10/08/2011 09:56:07 AM 1026 Views
Last time I checked, you guys have a vote. First past the post, sure, but it's still a vote. Tom - 10/08/2011 04:33:07 AM 969 Views
Is there any other country that has a death penalty for children caught stealing? *NM* Tim - 10/08/2011 10:02:56 AM 536 Views
Maybe not, but we can hope there is... *NM* Tom - 10/08/2011 02:04:38 PM 474 Views
You can hope there is. Tim - 10/08/2011 02:21:17 PM 986 Views
...you guys need a poster named Tam, and a sitcom, stat. *NM* beetnemesis - 10/08/2011 05:11:57 PM 527 Views
+1 Yunalesca - 10/08/2011 05:17:22 PM 995 Views
Wibble is called Tam (Scots) or Tom (English), and used to go by dragon_tam. Tim - 10/08/2011 05:27:16 PM 1094 Views
LMAO *NM* Aisha - 10/08/2011 06:22:11 PM 524 Views
If you want to talk statistics... Tom - 13/08/2011 08:26:39 PM 945 Views
So the death penalty is a deterrent for the crimes it doesn't apply to, but not for those it does? Tim - 14/08/2011 10:58:14 AM 1129 Views
No, that wasn't my point. Tom - 14/08/2011 09:39:14 PM 1107 Views
light yagami felt the same way Yunalesca - 14/08/2011 01:20:02 PM 1095 Views
Please speak English. *NM* Tom - 14/08/2011 09:39:46 PM 524 Views
They think they have a good reason for what they're doing snoopcester - 10/08/2011 11:48:52 AM 945 Views
If they react even more indignantly to a harsh crackdown, maybe they do. Tom - 10/08/2011 02:06:04 PM 867 Views
Oh? snoopcester - 10/08/2011 04:05:55 PM 1055 Views
This is the first I've heard of it; here's hoping and praying the damage is restricted to property Joel - 08/08/2011 06:59:06 PM 1038 Views
I am sure dart_board - 09/08/2011 06:34:40 PM 1037 Views

You will. *NM* dart_board - 10/08/2011 12:14:22 AM 499 Views

This is utterly awful. Rebekah - 08/08/2011 09:41:46 PM 1097 Views
Yeah - it has massively spread today. Just saw footage of youths looting a Sainburys in Birmingham snoopcester - 08/08/2011 09:52:32 PM 1026 Views
And if they had got the army out Wibble - 08/08/2011 09:57:40 PM 1007 Views

Might work in the US snoopcester - 09/08/2011 02:13:50 PM 1031 Views
When most of the looters are kids I can see how that would be problematic. Joel - 09/08/2011 05:18:09 PM 1008 Views
Joel I don't believe any looters were shot in the Rodney King riots random thoughts - 09/08/2011 05:41:44 PM 978 Views
Police were, from what I understand, hard to find during those riots. Joel - 09/08/2011 05:51:11 PM 985 Views
I am just questioning the logic of the debate taking place here random thoughts - 09/08/2011 06:33:11 PM 940 Views
Your notoriously faulty memory is by far the lesser problem here. Joel - 09/08/2011 07:14:07 PM 1251 Views
That article supports my argument random thoughts - 09/08/2011 08:55:15 PM 906 Views
OK I blame the site for this random double post. I hit submit once. random thoughts - 09/08/2011 08:55:17 PM 954 Views
I can't really argue with anything you've said here, so I won't try. Joel - 09/08/2011 11:11:17 PM 1094 Views
so now you are comparing the rioters to the Tea Party? I guess dartboard was almost right random thoughts - 10/08/2011 12:51:46 AM 1023 Views
I'm comparing alienation to alienation and noting that it's pervasive. Joel - 10/08/2011 01:19:49 AM 1089 Views
and I am saying you have no idea who the tea party is random thoughts - 10/08/2011 03:06:15 AM 971 Views
I guess I should've used the Progressive Caucus instead. Joel - 10/08/2011 04:25:30 PM 1044 Views
Seriously, is it mostly kids? nossy - 08/08/2011 10:08:00 PM 932 Views
