All these riots everywhere!!!

[CRWx]

Our police need to get their act together, end of.

 

[Boomerslady]

It's going on because these silly teenage thugs think they're gangsters and they want some 'fun' it's pathetic.

 

[special_kala]

Their doing it because they can.

I lived 10 years in south east London and watching the places I know well going up in smoke on the news is heartbreaking . The poor decent people who live and work there .

 

[TwilightAgain]

The behaviour is absolutely disgusting. Who the hell do these thugs think they are? Those poor people, losing their homes and businesses.

My heart goes out to those poor people who are terrified in their homes, worried their home is going to be the next target. Innocent people and their lives at risk

Innocent people, people with babies, elderly people they must be terrified. Absolute thugs! They want to get the Army in and shoot the lot of them. Absolute thugs

I'm a little concerned mind. What if it spreads across the UK? It seems to me as thought they're thinking "ooo we can get away stealing from shops, which town should we go after next?" it's very concerning.

I'm watching it on BBC news channel and they just said there have been some "disturbances" in Birmingham too

 

[indy and lara]

They are nothing but a group of thugs. Absolutely appalling.

 

[Lellow]

Birmingham has started now...

 

[TwilightAgain]

Just watched them destroy a car...why??? Thats probably some family car they have just destroyed!

Thats just what me and my Gran were just saying. Someones car that they're worked hard for what the hell gives these thugs the right!

^ I have just heard from someone on FB that it's kicking off now in Birmingham and Leeds...?? Can't see anything on News saying this just came up on my FB xx

 

[CRWx]

It is spreading, well "copying". People are rioting about 10 minutes down the road from me & i'm in the West Midlands. Apparently theres been shooting & stuff going on in Birmingham aswell, greeeeeat. If people think they can get away with it, they'll push it.

[Midnight_Fairy]

Thats just ridiculous I dont live in a City but I can imagine its terrifying

 

[Rhio92]

Shit, this is so scary If the police and government don't get a grip, it's just going to keep spreading

 

[CRWx]

It's scary when it's so close to home- they need to get the army in or I can see England being completely destroyed over a few days, all because of people pretty much my own age being disgusting exscuses for human beings.

 

[Laura2919]

Its here wonder when its gonna stop. Im worried cos although I am not near a shopping centre I can just see people storming down where I live

Something else has to be done. They need to send in the army, the police need to be able to have more power in situations like this.

 

[TwilightAgain]

Shit, this is so scary If the police and government don't get a grip, it's just going to keep spreading

I know! It's very worrying

They're doing it because they know they can. It won't be long before thugs all over the country get the same idea.

 

[CRWx]

In Birmingham it's a "stand-off" of youths against police

 

[sparklyjubbly]

I'm really worrying about this - i just got out of hospital yesterday as they thought i was going into early labour - thankfully not! But come home to the threat of rioting on my doorstep!

The highstreets local to me are all being affected in one way or another - Lewisham has slow rioting, croydon apparently has had looting and heavy police checks, Penge (where i live) and Bromley currently has increased police presence and checks as we're sandwiched between the two, it's like a heaviness in the air out there. Apparently it's moving to Catford now where my MIL lives? I dread to think what's going to happen when the sun goes down, this is when it always gets worse
