[1Shot-Paddy]

For those who don't live in the UK, here's what made the headlines yesterday. A group of British squaddies grabbed a group of youngsters and beat the shit clean out of them.

from what i could tell on video, a massive group of kids throwing rocks at the soldiers then running away (rocks hurt if you dont realise) although they did go kind of overboard (the soldiers that is)

[dELtaluca]

lol the guy with the camera was funny though

[Imperator]

holy shit........

Man, those guys either had some serious beef against those kids, or they're all part of whatever BSDM club the fuckin cameraman is part of.

When this shit hits the news, kiss those soldiers' asses goodbye!

Just proves that idiots are idiots no matter what country they're from.......

[Memorize]

Well, if those people were doing something stupid to the soldiers, then I got a little bit of satisfaction out of that. Just because they're doing something stupid while acting all tough and didnt expect to get the shit kicked out of them.

But hey, they shouldnt have gotten that much of a beating.

[MortifiedPenguins]

Has anyone actually had a rock thrown at them.

It fucking kills literally.

Why the fuck do you think they stoned people to death in ancient times and the middle east.

Of course i would get pissed if i had rocks thrown at me.

Well, being in an armoured car, I don't think those soldiers felt much.
They are grown men, who in the midst of the riot, instead of catching the perpetrators, caught a group of kids because they're cowardly sick cunts, there is no justifying there actions.

Well, if they're rioters, then by all means, beat the shit out of them.

You again. Seriously mate, has anyone ever beat the shit out of you? Because if you had been given just one beat down in your life you'd know how unjustified that beating was. Wake up to reality before your ignorance leads you into a dark alley.

There was no armored Car

Bullshit, Yes they shouldn't have done that. But they just gave them an extreme spanking.

They guys just used a frieken switch on the kid.

It's not good, but i've seen worse.

Anyway's in all legality, those kids were rioters.

They won't throw rocks again.

Lets see, what do rioters do? They steal, break into stores, flip over cars, cause massive damage, block traffic and people are usually hurt.

I hate rioters.

If they're not rioters, but protestors, then they shouldnt have gotten beat up like that.

[Elfer]

Ok, yes the kids were jackasses and deserved to get hit, but the soldiers escalated that confrontation WAY THE FUCK TOO MUCH.

If someone throws a rock at a soldier wearing body armour, that doesn't justify tying them up and gang beating them.

[jlwelch]

Personally I think the little bastards had it coming and frankly I applaud the solders for doing something about it. From what I understand, muslims, like the kids in that video, are prone to throwing stones at solders and causing problems. What the solders did is NOT messed up and in my opinion the should recieve a medal for making an example out of those little shits!

[Sigfrid]

i hear what you are saying. not like it's right to beat the puss out of kids but even i knew not to throw rocks at the cops when i was four.

[HighlyIllogical]

Ok ok, that's a little much, but these are kids who could easily be carrying guns. But regardless, it's stupid of them to do this. For a second, I thought this footage was from Belfast or something, but then I realized it must be in Iraq or at least in an Arab nation (note desert camo).

[Draconias]

Did you hear what the camera man said?

"You little ____, shoot at us? You're gonna die!"

Shoot? Does this set off any alarms for anyone? The kids could have been throwing rocks, but I distinctly heard a gunshot early in the video. If those kids shot at the soldiers, beating the hell out of them is completely justified. If they were adults, they would have been killed instead.

[HighlyIllogical]

Notice that these are youths who could easily have an AK or two being that Iraq is a warzone...and the Brits probably were shot at or at least scared shitless by SOMEthing.

No, they'll switch to firearms.

This is exactly the sort of bullshit that a) turns the Iraqi public against us, and b) further inflames animosity towards the west throughout the Middle East. And this is what happens with a long-standing occupation.

*shrug*

That makes a little more sense, then. I like how everyone is getting worked up without knowing the exact circumstance. It's a little silly to get worked up over a situation without knowing what started it, since the soldiers obviously didn't pick some random kids out of a crowd to beat just so they could get erections.

First off, that's a pretty bold assumption to make. Furthermore, do the circumstances invalidate anything I said? This is bad PR. Kicking the shit out of people is unnecessary, if they had actually shot anything, then they could have been tagged and bagged. Not beaten up on video.

The reason so many people get worked up is because they don't care about the exact circumstance. I swear, even if one of the British solders did get shot the British equivalent of the liberal media (whatever the hell that is called over there...) would still whine the same bleeding heart message demanding punishment of their troops. Honestly, do you really think these Brits just up and decided "Blimey I'm gonna whale on some blokes t'day mate. (horrible British accent). There is a reason for everything but people have already made up there minds that in every situation, it is the solders fault.

And the announcer was pretty funny...I bet he was jackin' off whilst announcing lol.

Since when should a soldier have to tolerate assault? Besides, how do we know that would have even been possible. I'm not saying it's not a PR nightmare, I'm just saying that the reason it is is because nobody has the full story. If it's true that they were being fired upon, the reaction would not have been nearly as bad as it's been. However, since even the possibility that they were under fire was omitted, it looks a lot worse than it is. Then again, that's the way the news works, they try to turn everything into as big a controversy as they can make it out to be, that's what sells.

[jlwelch]

I dunno Gunner...even if people had the full story I know for a fact that the liberals (at least where I am from) would be all like "OMG I'm so ashamed of those British solders...I mean sure they were shot at but OMG they had no reason". But I agree with you on the rest!
