The London Riots.

By now most of you must of heard about the riots in London.

A man shot at police then he was shot and killed by them. The council flat in Tottenham where he lived then held a protest over the killing, believing that he had been killed in an assassination style. Later that night riots broke out as they destroyed large parts of Tottenham, looting and burning down property.

Last night more violence happened around London.

Today, they hit near where I live.

That building in the top Photo/video on fire? I've been past it so many times in my life. I can hear the sirens from hear and see the smoke in the distance.

This isn't a quest to get justice on a man who was clearly in the wrong. It's descended into opportunistic vandalism. There destroying and looting just because they feel they can get away with it, and it's getting pretty bad right now.

It's going to be a active night that's for damn sure.

i blame the Anarchists and juvenile delinquents taking advantage of the situations.

My feelings on the matter as well.

Apparently, it's all GTA's fault.

Recently there was some rioting about an hour drive from here of a shooting. It turns out that pretty much everyone arrested was not from that city, they mostly came from anarchist groups throughout the Western US. People coming from as far away as Oregon. It's probably the same way in those riots. Just try to stay out of the way, ok Vigil? Do not be Batman!

Yeah, the GTA thing is just another attempted jab at the medium.

But more importantly, yeah be safe Vigil. Hope this doesn't really affect you or anyone really badly.

Be careful, man. Sounds nasty.

Oh, you brits and your riots..

Hope they stay the hell away from your family and property, mate!

i'm gone 3 hours and now there are reports of other cities being hit! Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool and Manchester are having problems as well now...

I would hope if someone was starting a revolution, they wouldn't be anarchists...
