Dagger Is Back Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The riot never came but it always felt imminent, it was very freaky being stuck in the store with the shutters down and no idea what was going on outside. We reopened against my wishes and were open til after 6 when everyone else was closed. Felt like a target and i've been on edge since I first evacuated the shop. I'm home, safe and sound now and every shop and petrol station I passed on the way home was shut. It's nice to work for a company that cares for you isn't it. PROFIT over people. Disgusting Glad you're home safely. Must have been terrifying. Who do you work for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You carry a gun on the streets you run the risk of being shot it's as simple as that... Honestly - they need to let the armed police, army off the leish, jail sentences for parents, minimum jail terms or those involved and then somehow try to fix the multitude if problems in society which has results in a bunch of see dicks basically thinking they can behave how they want with no consequences...

Deevers Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Can't get over the number of older guys in their thirties and forties standing about watching all of this. There was a time when the men in the community kept these little yobs in their place - and any of them who stepped out of line would have got a good old fashioned battering. I'm really beginning to wonder what we need to do to keep these scummy lowlifes in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2NaFish Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Blimey We should get this shut down asap. I'd say they were bringing down STV's good name but...well...they'll give anyone a job. It's unfortunate that so many people seem to be almost willing something to happen in glasgow. It doesnt help the situation and only creates tension and fear where there doesnt need to be. If nothing else, it should be shut for being a shit stirring shit spreader, nevermind the fact that they're ripping off a legitimate news source's naming style.
