What is going on in London? What are they so pissed about?

You like the word pissed, don't you?

It started out that they were protesting about the police shooting the guy Duggan, who had a gun and had, supposedly, shot at the police. However, it has escalated totally out of control and the mindless thugs and arsonists who are doing all this have no idea who Duggan is. They are just doing it because they want to and because the police aren't stopping them.

If this was anywhere else in the world, it would not be tolerated. The police or/and army would be right in there. What a namby-pamby country we live in.

A man was shot on Thursday by police. There are questions about whether the shooting was justified or not.This then sparked a peaceful protest on the streets. However the protest became violent and turned into riots which lead to looting,setting buses and local businesses alight and smashing up the place...People then seeing that it was so easy started looting all across London-it has been total carnage please pray for our youths,those that do pray.

Small group of extremely dangerous anarchists lighting the touch-paper and watching the result - ignorant kids out there who think they have a grievance against society in general, and now it's into more organised crime with, I've just heard, people in cars coming in to loot. Free for all, and it's the stuff of nightmares - the breakdown of society.

It needs to be stamped on IMMEDIATELY. Army, curfew, for starters. There is no point standing out there and pleading with people to help the police....... why!!?
