ICTChris Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Seven people have been arrested over rioting in Auchinleck in East Ayshire. Last weekend saw what police have described as "large scale disorder" in the village. Riot police came under attack after attending reports of a crowd gathering around two addresses in the village and at least one police officer required hospital treatment. Two homes have been damaged with fire, possibly from petrol bombs, during the assault. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-67535875 Unsurprisingly, social media has seen speculation as to the cause of the rioting, with a number of people, included some far-right figures, stating that it was due to locals attacking drug dealers who had set up in the area. Have any P&Bers ever been part of an angry mob? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 There is a Sun article that quotes an unnamed local as saying "it was neighbourhood watch, Ayrshire style"/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 1974 Ulster Workers Strike. Although the "mob" was fairly good natured as it paraded around Coleraine. Brian McCrudden was headbutted and poleaxed. in the Diamond, but that may have been on the occasion of another "mob". I was more observer than participant on both occasions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 As with the Dundee and Edinburgh disturbances over the past couple of years, these are not riots. Riots tend to have a clear political agenda. Please see the good old days when proper rioting took place. *wipes something from eye* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm yes, because I'm sure that Auchinleck was such a wellness haven before this weekend. I suspect that Brass Eye's Paedogeddon may be closer to the mark here.

There's no confirmation of any of this, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
