    ok does anyone know the specific story about these Asian brothers?

    nobody knows if they were even looters themselves surely?

    Yeah, they could've been out for trouble themselves, but you won't be hearing a negative word said about them on Sangat.

    Lets just hope there isnt a race war, that will cause utter chaos.

    No source yet. BBC, SKY have not picked it up yet.

    What are you on about?

    Do you depend on BBC and Sky for everything?

    I saw the man's brother reacting when he heard the news, why was the crowd there?

    It's not being covered yet by BBC & Sky because they will probably just regard it as a traffic incident.

    Almost 100% sure they weren't Asian, more like Hindu/seik(spelling?) or similar ( ignore my ignorance with religion/races )

    Hindu's and Sikhs are Asian??

    well where are you getting it man, twitter ffs????

    For all you know it may just be that, a traffic incident. the 2 lads could have been knocked in a completely unrelated incident.

    People seem to be a fever pitch in fairness.

    confirmed where?

    You think a police station in Nottingham was firebombed??

    good god

    some people are still looking for their fix by the looks of things.

    On the news. Good God it seems some people can't read.
    The "I think" was in reference to the location of the police station. I'm almost sure it was in Nottingham but I'm not sure, however a police station was set on fire by a group of dozens of people earlier and it was mentioned on both the BBC and Sky.

    This Sangat tv is a bit mental, everytime I turn it on they are praying or talking some rubbish, then something dramatic happens (which we all miss) and it's back to praying and talking crap as if dramatic event never happened?
    They're obviosly religious... they are all wearing those wierd hats.

    I can only imagine the Beeb and Sky have been advised to not show live feeds or anything like that by the police or the government. Probably in their best interests to. If the apparent scene of the brother's reaction to the death of his two siblings was shown live on either of the stations they would probably be awash with complaints.

    I can imagine. Some of the footage broadcast live last night was pretty intense, even from this side just looking on, it must have been pretty harrowing for those in the centre of it to see their business and lifes work being burned to the ground on live tv.

    That sangat tv is almost surreal, hard to know what is going on with it!

    nice gang of hardeneed multicultural skangsters rounded up there tonight.

    My view is they let a convening of a certain two type of yoof cuwcha take care of racial integration from the late '80s onward and it has left em with this grimey scenario.

    off to take a big durty templar shìte..
    goodnite.

    Well apparently they weren't, but let's not start making assumptions or accusing them of anything. The fact is, two young people have died. This is a very bad situation. People should not be dying, regardless. I think the rioting has probably reached its zenith, but if people are dying then it's reached an absolute unacceptable level and something serious needs to be done.

    I saw it all on the TV, not twitter.

    That large Indian crowd and riot police were not standing outside a hospital because of a normal RTA.

    Do I need to prove something we all saw on the TV?

    I wanna see some Catholic priests out defending their property, drinking tea and eating sandwiches. Todd Unmptious and the lads sitting around reminiscing

    "ah remember Father Ulton Crosby, he gives good mass. Look at the way he works the alter. Effortless".

    Methinks it's time to hit the sack, we're all beginning to look like we've serious psychological issues searching for more hoodie footage at nearly 4 in the morning. I haven't seen one of the fcukers have his head cracked open on live tv in 4 days! Seriously disappointed!

    What is the point in deploying 16.000 toothless police officers when 6,000 tigers would do a much better job?

    Up for work in four hours, this crap has the head fecked. Thank goodness for Xanax! Maybe they should put it in the water to calm these bastards down.

    If this crap starts here, which it could, and the gards don't bust heads fairly sharpish then the only thing to do is for us to take a leaf from the Sikhs book and defend ourselves and bust heads ourselves if necessary. It's what should be happening in England. Not ideal but there's only so much that can be tolerated. These scumbags, young idiots with a bit of organisation could be easily quashed if the honest hard working people rise against it. Vigilantism isn't ideal but sometimes the ends justify the means.
