Police Raid Homes of Rioters

Hang on, as soon as I hide the loot I'll be back to respond...

I hope that they get every last one of them and give them the toughest sentences. The unemployed have it better int he U.K.than in a lot of other countries. In my country people are just losing their jobs and there is no unemployment money. Our poverty level has risen 17% in this past year. They do not mean the country good especially as there will be the Olympics next year. get the yobos and make them pay big time. I do not know what has happened to my country. I look on the BBC news channel and it just seems such a different place to the U.K. where I grew up so many years ago. I am both angry and sad over this. Tens of millions pounds wasted. How does this help the U.K. to get out of the depression. Diddly squat!

I was hoping this would happen. These kids really need to be brought down. They should never be allowed to get away with this sort of thing. It is payback time. I hope they are made to build up the places they burned. These kids need to have better role models I think.

Well that's great to know, then. Here, piracy is everywhere and it can't be stopped. It had been going on for years now and the police can't seem to stop the spreading of pirated stuff.

What The rioters have done they should be punished, They are lucky that they are not in Pakistan, I assure u they will be shot on sight, Just watch on youtube how asian police handle crowds.. they should be searched and should be Brought to justice... So it will never happen again..

Very disturbing development this riot was. Mischief at this intensity and this magintude is disquieting. I feel sorry for those whos live were disturbed. Its a shame society gives rise to these emotions and these souls. We badly need peaceful thoughts to spread.

No one should undermine the efficiency of the police force. It will not take long before they apprehend those law breakers and bring them to book. It may only be short lived joy for these looters and soon they will be caught by the long arms of the law.

I am delighted that the police have been able to identify many of the looters in the United Kingdom. Then it is excellent that the police have been able to raid their homes. It must have been so strange to see designer clothing worth loads of money in a home in a council estate. Pay back time will help the shops that have been stolen from. There is a recession and every shop is trying to stay in business.

I'm not sure how liberal the courts are over there but if they have any sense they will make these "punks" pay the full retail price for any items that has been found in their possession.

Yes, police should do that. Other than recovering those stolen goods, looters should be made to pay for those stuffs as well. That would be a way to punish those arrogant mindless people who doesn't even care. I've read on papers that government might consider to take back houses for those looters staying there. I agree with that, because that would let those selfish little people know, their actions has caused harm to their own family.

Good. I am glad that the police are taking control of the situation. I am glad that they are raiding homes of suspected looters although I hope that civil rights are not stepped on during these difficult times. Sometimes during chaotic times, law enforcement makes bad mistakes.

I hope they will get them all. They deserved punishment. I have hard life to but I'm not looting, not burn houses and not attack other people. Talking and making excuses that economic situation force this people to do riots it just stupid. They should be punished. Yesterday my partner was in Croydon. This place look like war zone.

What they did was an inexcusable act. It's not about kids doing something stupid, it's about people doing something criminal. There's a difference. A crimial offense deserves a criminal punishment and it's a good thing that the police are doing their part for this.
