Staff at Birmingham Children's Hospital formed a 'human shield' as they barricaded themselves inside after rioters threatened to set it on fire - in an evil bid to 'win respect' from fellow thugs.
Police ordered an immediate lock-down of the hospital after rioters used Twitter to spread the word and encourage thugs to storm the wards just after 9pm last night. Gangs of rioters rounded on the hospital - which cares for some of Britain's sickest children - armed with broken bottles and knives hoping to 'out-riot' yobs running amok in London.
Wow...that is just so sad. Proud of the staff.
Too bad you can’t cut off their internet communications for a bit to help stop these organized attacks....no Twitter or Facebook, etc.
These are some sick and twisted individuals.
Well, I don’t know actually, after re-reading the post, it sounds like Twitter is what gave the cops the heads up.
