To Willz event....can you hold my hand and guide me to tickets to go as I would like to go :)

And will try to get some people to come down as I know you're making an effort, is this for melee and brawl btw cos I will try to get some of the Croydon brawlers to come down if it's both.

Leicester - This is Willz btw
Yeah it's both man
And you should look into coaches coming down as its around £20 i believe, and trains are a bit more expensive :(

Ive also got quite a detailed google maps route on how to get to the bus which goes to my area once you arrive in leicester city in the thread, check it out man :)

LOOOOL At the Monty situation being brought up...

So are you actually going to make the next event VA?
don't know why he's so interested in my past results when (unlike him) I really don't care that much. I just worry about future results. Still, it's always great fun beating Monty lol

GM Jack- might come if there's space. I'll get back to you

I saw some of the rioting upfront and literally standing right next to it in Croydon and other places and all I have to say is lul...

There was a funny sense of unity at times and I know people who got BAREEEEEE stuff....it was jokes cos you just saw people literally walking down the road with a shopping cart and some 48 HD TV in it and people carrying that shit in there hands and walking causally down the road. And there were broken TV's on the floor....people getting Ipad 2's, Terabytes Harddrvies...if it was valuable it got stolen

A Huge PC World got nicely violated and there stock room raided

And loads of people were out there house just looking but no-one can do anything....some places literally got TORE up and rinsed out soooo hard, people were taking stuff they didn't even want or need but just to get something valuable

The police couldn't do anything, they weren't even in some of the areas which were getting raided and they were SEVERELYYYYY out numbered lol

Im a good boy though obviously, who thinks I would have participated in it lol :)

I'm just hoping nobody I know actually got hurt in this ****.

On the other hand, nicking some HDTVs for the monthlies sounds like a good plan :troll:

loljk
harsh much

What a load of crap that is going on, seriously.
what areas have been hit? Croydon definitely. I heard Lewisham, Brixton, Thornton Heath Streatham. Practically South London is a *****hole now... I heard Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool have also been targeted?

People are silly if they really think it was just black people...the way I saw all different races of people and not just youths....ADULTS as in grown women and men driving up in the car, throwing in different items and then just driving off and everyday looking people getting involved...not in wrecking the shops, just stealing the actual contents when it was open

Don't be stupid enough to actually think it's just black people or the majority is black....in the black predominate areas it was more black people because more black people actually live there....but in the white predominately areas it was white people....and not even just white people, asians and other races and innocent looking girls who you would initially think would have NOTHING to do with it but they were ON IT!!!

None of the annoying black jokes plz.

Edit - Look at this video and this is what I mean by different races

They say the majoirty of were teenagers....the majority of the people IMO weren't teenagers and were like in there 20's....which I guess you could still class as a youth but yeah that is true because the majority were youths in that sense...but definitely not young.
