Topic : Looters |
|
| logicale |
I find it very hard to listen to politicians taking the moral high ground about people taking stuff they are not entitled to !!!! |
|

ken livingston and harriot harman what planet are these two from  button moon with the bulls--t they are both coming out with  do normal law abiding people belive anything they say how they can try and get political gain out of this is beyond me or should we feel sorry for thses robbing, looting, mugging, scum bags  labour party the party that supports riots  |
|
| jonno |
Livingstone and Harman can hardly be held up as representing the Labor party, they are both looney in their views, especially "Red" Ken who is just a political dinosaur and the sooner he is extinct the better. |

It could be you. Obviously some of the looters were opportunists, and got caught. If you have never been in that situation then you do not really know whether or not you would join in. Anyhow, I blame this government and all their cuts. I hold Cameron an Co. personally responsible for these riots. And why not. When Gordon Brown was PM he was blamed for all the ills of the world, so now it is the latest incumbents turn. |

you really need some medical help old minor or at least take your blinkers off are you really suggesting that normal people would have joined the looting if that had been the case then where were they all in london using your logic there should have been millions of looters the sad truth for you is 99.9% of normal people were at home and sickened by what they were seeing. |

Not being a right wing thicko with my brains in my boots I have actually read a few books. You know, those things they sell in book stores that the rioters passed by. There is plenty of research that shows how people who have no criminal background can easily be caught up in the heat of the riot. Just watch all those 'fanatics' cheering at football matches and the like. Finding themselves in a riot and they get carried away. |

Dear not thick but tedious be a good chap would you and post some quotes to support this 'plenty of research' bovine excretia you spout. Speaking only for myself I cannot believe that most people would be anything other than shocked at what those 'untermensch' where getting up to. I very definitely know that I would not take the 'opportunity'. |

Crowd Control - as understood by AH According to the social psychologist Gustave Le Bon, Contagion theory states that crowds exert a hypnotic influence over their members through collective suggestibility. According to this theory, people tend to give up their personal responsibility and surrender to the emotions of the crowd them. They feel shielded by the anonymity of the crowd and hence abandon responsibilities. A crowd may therefore stir up emotions, assuming a life of its own, and drive people into irrational behaviour. According to this theory whether the crowd is organized or spontaneous, they are bonded (hypnotism or imitation) together with charismatic figures. Le Bon was considered the founder of crowd psychology. Le Bon's The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind in 1895, influenced a lot of people which included Adolf Hitler. In fact his autobiography Mein Kampf mentions Le Bon's work. |

old minor you keep saying crowd mentality the facts are a lot of the looters were in small GROUPS and the looting was organised they were working in teams and even had transport provided to shift the gear so please note it was ORGANISED NOT RANDOM now be a good chap and go back to your secure unit |
|
| old_miner |
That it was organised criminality is what they wnat you to think. More likely is that criminals jumped in as soon as it started; opportunism. The present bunch of hooray henrys running the country are trying to convince everyone that it is what it was rather than the truth: a rebellion by pissed off youngsters. Actually the riots will probably deliver. Riots usually do. Remember the poll tax riots - remember the poll tax? Hopefully saner minds will prevail and the causes rather than effects will be tackled. |

There you go then old man, I gather you couldn't find too much but even the editor of this article is careful to credit this dirge to the 'social psycologist' responsible in that it was 'according to' (him). He probably believes it even less than I do. |

If contagion did not happen then mexican waves could not happen - simples. News this morning indicates the saner minds are getting a grip. Hooray Cameron has acknowledged there is a social problem - typical tory - always a bit slow to work out the obvious. |
