What started off as a peaceful protest ended up as violent riots and streets were literally set on fire in the capital of UK. Houses torched, businesses and other establishments were set alight and cars burned out by gangs of black as well as white youths. Shops and stores were robbed out of goods and people jumping out of burning apartments. These are just some of the unfortunate scenes happening in the UK.
WTF is happening? Are they that heartless to do such mindless acts? Destroying your city? Your place of living? And attacking random people on the streets? What the fuck do they get out of it? For fun?
The riot started following a shooting of a guy named Mark Duggan, which gave local criminals reason to literally cause havoc around the city, looting and breaking shops and jewellery stores and burning establishments and cars lying around.
It’s already the 4th day and no progress has been done by their government. Police just stood by and watched the scenes as they can’t attack the offenders. I think they could use some Martial Law there don’t yah think?
Philippines suffered the same fate way back 1970s when the late President Ferdinand Marcos was in the Malacanang Palace, there was social unrest too and streets were on fire. The president declared martial law then.
Anyway the following are still shots which were sent by alex (i’m fearing for his safety):
High on drugs? Or just high on the thought that doing these stupid things can make you awesome?
Gangs of hooded imbeciles.
Are they aware how much a car would cost?
OMG, this!
It’s like you’ve gone to hell isn’t it?
Thank heavens the riots stopped now. There’s a lot to clean up and I hope the people responsible for this violence will be punished according to law. In addition, I hope, we all hope that this kind of thing will never happen again, in the UK or anywhere else.
PS thanks alex for the pictures 🙂 So glad you’re safe 🙂
