 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.
