Same, you usually see this kind of thing happen in another country and we think nothing of it but now :/.

I didn't think it was that serious until tonight.

We use the law and prosecute ,we don't shoot people unless of course they have guns and use them.Then we leave it to the armed police.Once we use troops to keep order we are no longer a democracy.

Anyway I think we are a long way from total anarchy.Most of the UK's citizens are at home tonight feeling disgusted at the minority copy cats rioters.I should think most are online at the moment or watching TV.;)

Nope. We're still England and London is still London. Reports in Dalston are that it has calmed down because large numbers of Turkish men are protecting the streets and homes from the mobs. This west Indian woman has a go at some of them here: http://twitvid.com/4JTZH fearless.

London is the home to so many different people and screw the people trying to destroy it.

We are England... they are not. I don't want them as a part of this country, They are a disgrace, No Englishman would commit acts of terror upon his own country!
