London's Burning

Rioting in London... Started in Tottenham because a 29 year old man was shot and killed by police. But the rioters didn't attack the police station, they looted shops and burned down people's homes !  And now the rioting is preading to Croydon, Clapham and even leaving London and infecting Birmingham...

  And what are the rioters doing ??? Setting fire to buildings and looting stores: stealing mobile phones, televisions, alcohol, cigarettes, clothing, sporting goods, etc... I find it absolutely disgusting !!

I also find this horribly heartbreaking.  How can they destroy their own communities ??? Do they want to live in a burned out war zone ??? Don't they have any respect for themselves ??? I guess not... How sad...

I don't understand how someone can use a death as an excuse to wreak such havoc... Do they feel hopeless, helpless, frustrated ???  Or is it just pure greed and opportunism ??? And what sort of penalty will these people pay ??? Will they even be caught ???

England is my home now, has been for almost seven years, and I'm sitting here in shock.  I don't understand how people can sink to this sort of level. It grieves me and infuriates me to no end...
