The London riots that broke out on Saturday night have now spilled over into their third night. On top of that, the riots, that have included fires and looting, appears to be spreading fast. Croydon, Birmingham, Battersea, Lewisham, Kilburn, Liverpool and Camden are all now reporting huge riots breaking out.
Question, though... what the fuck is it about?

From what I've seen, the first riots started after police shot dead a man named Mark Duggan, a passenger in a taxi. It appears he was armed and a suspected gangster. Since then, the anarchists and gangs have come out and the rioting amplified. And since our nation's youth are, generally speaking, a bunch of easily lead automatons, they decided to join in and were seen laughing on camera. Bunch of savages.

I know this is stupid just because a guy got shot. He might have deserved it. I am fine for now by the way. The nearest riots that were near me was Ealing. I am fine just to let you know. It's happened in Bristol as well but I pretty much doubt it would happen near me since we don't really have that much teenagers since it's a posh area. In fact we don't even have anti social behaviour sort of thing going on. This is such a stupid way and reason of doing the riots though.

This is unacceptable. Don't they know you're only supposed to riot if your sports team loses.... or if it wins.

So, yeah... it's now happening in Salford, which is where I live. The shopping centre is closed off and cars close to me have been torched.

I blame the football and the parents for this.

Yeah, the parents need a good slap as well as the rioters.
So far, around 500 people have been arested. The police are also showing photos of everyone they can in a gallery to find all culprits.

All I can say is I am so glad you are alright Dan. Fucking mayhem outside. I am not going out for a whole week. Parents are too soft with their kids nowadays. If I had a kid and found out he/she did that in London or anywhere. I would ground them for a year.

I went.
I wondered down there where I saw two cars, one turned over, both set alight, with firemen trying to put it out. There were shit loads of police with shields and visors stood all around.
Then at eight o'clock, it all kicked off. Hundreds of people threw bricks, rocks and fireworks at the police, who were then forced to retreat, leaving Salford. Then, the LIDL supermarket was broken into and the people began looting before setting it and a car in the car park on fire.
Another building was then broken into and set on fire; a row of shops with flats above. With no police and no firemen around, I had to go round the back and make sure everyone got out. Then, the shopping mall, Salford Precinct was broken into and all sorts of things were stolen. People were casually nipping in to grab televisions and laptops, emptying the full shopping centre.
Eventually, with reinforcements, there were around thirty riot vans with police, which is when I went home...
