I'm not going to argue because i feel that it is futile, everyone is entitled to their opinions. But to make this about race is to give it meaning and some kind of sick purpose, this really is nothing more than a load of oppurtunistic thieves getting caught up with mob mentality. As the quote above states, people from ALL walks of life have been involved.

No. Not from Texas. From the inner city.
I deal with such people. The criminal gangsters and the federal police both agree. You shoot looters. Don't matter who you are.
You can protest. You can burn down the bar of a racist owner. You can do all sorts of things. But once your actions become an unruly mob that steals and damages the innocent, you slaughter them. For they have sacrificed their humanity for barbarism.
For all your claims that the American way is not the worldly way, you never thought to realize that maybe there's a reason that's a good thing.
In America, we shoot looters. Maybe that's why this silliness, when it rarely does come, quickly ends. Take a tip from the barrel of a gun. Keep your actions to the guilty. Touch the innocent, you get what's in the barrel pointing to you.

that is ONLY about race if you read it that way, that is effectively a call to arms to avenge the death of 3 asian guys that were murdered by a hit and run driver. this is not a call to attack any race, it is a call to avenge the death of 3 guys. 3 sons, 3 brothers. it will be ANOTHER excuse to cause mayhem... by all who are so inclined, there will, i am sure, be some racially motivated attacks, but when you see vigilante groups forming that are of all races, whites stood with siekhs outside temples, blacks walking with asians to patrol a street, how is this about race? It is too easy nowadays to use the excuse of race for many things, lets forget race and blame culture... full stop, we are a weak society, and there are people from every race and walk of life who will exploit that.

You have all the right in the world to choose otherwise. But when people are uncivilized, you do not treat them as civilized people. Civilized people don't steal innocent people in mob rule. Such people are animals.Not more than pests. Pests are culled.edit on 12-8-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

Yes. That's how you deal with such things. And it's not two wrongs. it's one wrong being killed before it can do more wrong.
I believe Hitler or some other douche bag said it quite well. The only way you can end me, is to become me. This is true.
I have my own saying. It doesn't matter how you fight a war. Wars have no rules. It matters what you'll do if you win. Anarchists and rioters would not create a better world if they won. Ergo, if they refuse to stop, shoot them.

and as i stated in my post, there WILL, doubtlessly, be racially motivated attacks, but to make out these riots are racially motivated is dung, the motivation is greed and bullying, and for the record, football hoolaganism has very very little to do with race. Man City fans are all colours, as are the Millwall fans, West ham, Headhunters. Please, I implore you, do not allow this to be about race, because if you do, and many follow suit throughout the country, we end up with the situations like we had in leeds/bradford. Let this be about what it is, a load of oppurtunistic thieves, using any excuse to nick an iphone!!!

When other people's lives are in immediate danger, I agree, killing the assailant to protect that person is acceptable (provided there's no reasonable non-lethal alternative; i.e., taking them out with a tazer or something)
However, that's when a human life is in danger.
Sneakers are not human life. They're not even plant or animal life. They're sneakers. If some hoodlum breaks a window and runs off with a pair of shoes from that store, sorry, he doesn't deserve death for that. He deserves criminal prosecution, sure. Not murder.
