Five people were arrested in London on Monday after a video posted on social media showed a group burning an effigy of Grenfell Tower, the public housing block where 72 people died in a massive blaze in 2017.
In a statement, London's Metropolitan Police said five men, ages 19 to 55, were being held on suspicion of a public order offense after they turned themselves in to a south London police station.
In the video, several people appear to be gathered around a model of the tower. After it's set alight, the group can be heard chuckling and cracking jokes.
“Help me, help me,” someone can be heard saying at one point.

It was in bad taste, obviously, but illegal? Not in a free society. Not in the USA. Not yet, anyway.
Yes, and yesterday was Nov. 5th which is Guy Fawkes Bonfire Night.
Still tacky but there were lots of bonfires going all over the country..
Who knew stupidity was an unlawful act.
England.
Apparently the Nazis did in fact win World War II. It just took awhile for them to take control in England.
Could you make a model of the twin towers and fly a remote control plane into it? Insensitive? Definitely. Illegal? I don’t know anymore.
We know just the ones who would do it...
