 So UK has been plagued over the last few days with riots; there isn't even for a reason, just for violence and stealing.

It's spreading through the UK; since it started in London and now Birmingham and Liverpool and other places, it's caused a causation event that is rippling through England, it wouldn't surprise me it it went further. 

It seems to be the youth of this country that are causing it; with hundreds already arrested. What is depressing is that most will get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again because they are so young. My thought is that as soon as you're able to tell the difference between what is right and wrong is when you should be able to be charged with a crime.

Apparently 16,000 officers are going to be sent in London to handle the riots that they are predicting to occur; this officers are being called upon from other counties. And all I can think about is the fact they have left these other counties unprotected against crimes.

My thoughts are with the police officers, ambulance services and other organisations that are risking their life's for this country against the kids of this country. Hopefully they are sending in the army tonight to seize control of the situation.

Followed it all, for as far as the news allows me to. Stay safe, okay?

We seem to be okay where I live so far - hearing that they are getting disbanded very quickly by the police; but there was a lot of sirens last night.

i was wondering about this actually, do they actually admit they have no reason or they made up one?

we have riots in chile too, for free education (c'mon, not even switzerland has free education) and some idiots are taking the chance to commit crimes and blame the students...

we need to move to Mars or something.

Well the first night it start with a protest about some one getting shot by the police (they didn't seem to care that it was only one shot and the guy had a gun he was waving around) and turned into riots and then looting and violence.

No reason now - people just taking things they want.

And reading about individuals that are bragging - one girl wrote on her twitter that she never felt so alive after she stabbed a cop; even though he told her that he had a daughter. It's disgusting what this country and the world has come to.
