seems theres a bit of a riot going on
news reports say 2 cop cars burned out, 1 bus burned and shops looted
looks like it was a good idea to cancel a trip I had planned for theis weekend to london, not far from
where its all going down, I would have been going through Stamford Hill about 7:30 pm tonight
looks like the locals think the cops shot a guy after a gunfight
and the locals want answers but as usual the cops as being slow to release details
| Quote: | Petrol bombs have been thrown at police and a shop, two patrol cars and a bus set on fire in a disturbance in Tottenham, north London.
The incident began after a protest over the fatal shooting of a young man by police on Thursday turned violent.
About 300 people have gathered outside the police station on the High Road.
Members of the community had taken to the streets to demand "justice" after the shooting of a 29-year-old father-of-four, named locally as Mark Duggan.
The BBC's Ben Ando, who is at the scene, described the situation as a "stand off" and said firefighters had come under attack.
Shops looted
Two patrol cars were set alight at about 20:20 BST but officers were not inside at the time.
Shops in the area have also been looted with people seen pushing away shopping trolleys full of goods.
A double decker bus was set on fire at the junction of High Road and Brook Street while a shop on the High Road has also been set alight.
Fire crews were initially unable to reach the shop due to the disorder but have now begun tackling the flames.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a large crowd had assembled, but not all of the people on the streets were involved in the disorder. |

FFS why do we continue to tolerate cretins behaving like this? Just send in some special forces and batter the living shit out of anyone that puts a foot out of place.  ____________________ Macie

There was a riot down my road a few months ago, over the opening of a Tesco. Now that's a real reason to riot  |

Meh.
You all dont know how to riot. Only 2 cars and 1 bus. Thats nothing. Used to be a regular Friday night in Belfast that did.
I'm thinking of visiting Totenham today. Feeling a little homesick.  ____________________ illuminateTHEmind wrote: I am just more evolved than most of you guys... this allows me to pick of things quickly which would have normally taken the common man years to master

It is being reported that a peaceful protest was hijacked by a violent minority.
I wonder which minority that was....  ____________________ A good loser will always be a loser. |
