All that will happen now is local buisnesses will pull out ,unemployment in the area will rise so well done to those who took part in the riots ,you have just killed off your community

Very true.
There was a peaceful demo which turned nasty when, IMHO, the usual masked suspects got involved and decided to stir up trouble and cause mayhem. I heard many live interviews last night which conformed the state of mind of these thugs. One moron even claimed the police had murdered Duggan but didn't seem to accept that his being in possession of a loaded weapon was a problem and might just have been partly to blame for his demise. When someone else (a middle aged black woman by the sound of her voice) pointed that out to some of the crowd she was threatened with violence!
The sight of so many people looting, setting fire to property etc. is sickening and just goes to show that their motivation had far more to do with creating an opportunity for trouble making, theft and violence that it had to with the shooting incident earlier in the week. Protecting their 'community'?? What a total joke! What sort of community allows this to happen? Frankly these animals are **** and those who associate with and protect them from justice ought to be truly ashamed of themselves.
Burning cars/buildings, endangering lives and looting shops - what a great way to show how bad the police are.....
