London Riots

This is all conjecture and is just my thoughts on the current situation; for a live update, head here.

I'm sure that any of you reading this already know what sparked the riots that began on Saturday the 6th. For anyone that doesn't, it was the killing of Mark Duggan, a father of four from Tottenham, in unclear circumstances during a police operation. What started as a peaceful protest by family and friends was subsequently hijacked by people who just wanted to watch things burn; 'anarchists' brandishing eloquent, well thought out sentiments such as "F**K DA POLICE" and "This is what the government deserves!!"

Incredible.
