V... I'm not in England ( altho Mrs. G is from London way ) .. but we were both up late last night watching the news....

Don't know if you've read the background on this but the "tinder spark" was the Police shooting of a black man Thursday night, under what is being termed suspicious circumstance.

What was designed as a peaceful protest / vigil outside of the police HQ in the town where that happened turned into full scale rioting and looting... in the victims name.

since then what has been termed as recreational rioting has broken out in scattered parts of the city, and now last night in many different cities.

I personally doubt that any of these kids rioting and looting could name the man that was killed by police or even know he existed.... they are out only for a, pardon the expresssion, good time.

my opinion : break out the tear gas and the water canons.
