Man, the riots have spread to hemel now, theres police everywhere and it's getting sacked to shit.
Also, the riots started because of an 'incident' on friday morning.
Armed police surrounded and held two young men at gunpoint, only about 20 years old or so. An eyewitness states the police had the men on the ground when suddenly, one of the officers executed one of the men, firing four shots into him. From what the witness says, he didn't see the kid on the ground struggle or make any attempt to move. The kid was later found with a gun. Right now, it's assumed the police killed him in cold blood, for no reason. The police are saying NOTHING about the incident. Then, on Sunday evening, it all kicked off. It was a small group of people in East London, which then spread to North london, then to Birminham and then Liverpool. Now, the whole country is in a total gangfuck and people are breaking into homes, setting buildings on fire, destorying vehicles, attacking police etc.
And to top it all off, our Prime minister is on holiday, our deputy prime minister is on holiday and the Capital's mayor is on holiday; I think he's coming back though.
All in all, it's just another dispute bewteen the police and the people. 99% of them, however, are probably just using it as an excuse to break shit and display their anger towards the government.
I'm not saying this kind of violence is right, because it's not; but the government has really fucked us over in recent years and this, some might say, has been a long time coming.
