Yeah. Now it's just gangs. The first night, the police didn't handle it to well. Mostly because there was a limited amount. Seeing this, gangs all over the place took this as a sign of weakness and started looting and destroying things.

Not much army here. They're fighting wars. In gangs terms, perfect time to for looting and such.
It's civilians and police trying to stop it now.

It's actually kind of inspirational how some communities are fighting the riots. There was even a public event to clean up all of the broken glass and what not.

@supreme Marvel - Yeah I heard they are going to start using rubber bullets and water canons but IMO I don't know how much that much really help.
@k4tzneto - It's is inspirational but I've heard a few people have died because of it. I say get off the streets, protect your own home and let the police do there job.

It is good to see that America is not the focus of idiot jokes lately.
And that guy with the V mask.... If you are going to play an anarchistic moron, what better disguise is there?

V seemed to be all about anarchy to me. yes, he was. But I was referring to what the V mask is. It's the face of Guy Fawkes who was actually an conservative catholic who wanted to blow up the Parliament and assassinate the king of England so a more iron handed, conservative and authoritative catholic king could be crowned. V wearing a Guy Fawkes mask was actually a bit of irony on Moore's part and used as part of the imagery to evoke (in the comic) the fact that whoever is the bad guy is a matter of opinion (in the comic who is the actual bad guy in the story is left open ended, V is not presented as a hero)

I don't think the person with the V mask started the fire. I think he was recording it. That's what the title said of that image. 'V Records as England Burns' or something like that.

A car was blown up on a street next to mine as a decoy while a bank a quarter mile away was robbed , wether it's realated to these riots is argueable.

This is the time, in a comic book where someone or something rises up and defends the innocent.

Gangs are getting smart by watching films. Heist films and such are working now.

Oddly enough it seems that his movie-inspired plan worked. It does sound like a movie plot but it happened , and they have not been caught as of yet . A particular movie in mind when you say movie-inspired or is it just something that sounds as if it could be in a movie ? Mount Florida bank robbery, glasgow southside, I dunno if it'll come up or not .
