If you have me added on Facebook, then you'll know how close the London riots are hitting home. I can smell smoke right now. Here's a summary of all the shit that I have witnessed or heard since last night: -My area in South London took a real battering. -Last night I saw about 40 hoodlums walking past my house. -The area near my workplace is (rumoured to be) destroyed. -Local cinema which is significant to the area has been destroyed. - Cosmos (the best Asian restaurant in Surrey) has been burnt down - Tiger Tiger (the best damn club) has been burnt down. - Favourite mall has been raided. - The hoodlums have torn up Camden market and have apparently raided a zoo. Not too sure how true the latter is. If a lion eats one of them I might laugh. - And they've destroyed my local market place. - Biggest hospital in my borough? Yep, it's been raided. - My local electronics store was destroyed. Funnily enough, one of the looters was an employee who was caught by the police whilst they were still in their work outfit. - They have burnt Camden Underworld. One of my hangouts whenever I'm in Camden. This shit just got even more personal. >:-( Quite a lot of my friends who I either grew up with or went to sixth form with have partaken in the riots. They're bragging on Facebook. One of them even took a picture of himself with his stolen goods. That picture is now going viral (moron). And we're also getting a heap of white middle class drunken twats who are using this as an opportunity to get some excitement in their lives. My friends saw them raiding a few corner shops. I'm going to take some pictures of my area tomorrow. But I am slightly worried that there is a high possibility that I will be mugged. Normally I am not afraid of being mugged in my neighbourhood because the local hoodlums rarely ever mug local people (it's like an unspoken rule). But a lot of chavs and mandem from other boroughs in London are walking through my neighbourhood and have been robbing people. Why can't people stop being *heads? |

Jesus Christ... I have never heard of anything like this... I don't know what to say other than to not take any chances. I would rather have your safety than pics. Just because you don't have them, doesn't mean this shit isn't happening. |

give me a ticket to london and an automobile. we'll see how long these hoodlums last on the streets while I'm driving them. :P but in all seriousness, what the hell is happening? normally people riot for a reason or cause, but this just sounds completely pointless. I mean, what does burning down a bunch of random places and looting achieve? aside from a criminal record? |

Isn't this pretty much the same as what happened in France in 2005 (I think)? I haven't read much about it yet, but from what I have read and heard it's a reaction against the police killing someone. Anyway, can't really imagine my neighbourhood being destroyed in riots like this. Hope you don't get hurt in all of this mayhem. |

Woah. Can't believe I missed this topic. My life has been consumed by... well... having a life. Is your neighborhood still crazy, Seto? Sucks that the rioters took out their frustration on local businesses and the innocent. Also, doesn't this seem backwards?
Like Anomaly said, I couldn't imagine that happening here. Don't think we have enough people to start a riot in my town. Maybe a bigger city. |
