A shooting by police, ..

Beginning to look like they shot the right person. Apparently the leader of a large group.

Shooting was four days ago (I think). Family claims the person shot was unarmed, father of four children. Peaceful demonstration began next day and quickly turned into riots. One explanation for the riots offered by BBC.

We know that anything from the BBC is not the truth. So we know what they report is not what happened.

Concerning no rioting in poor neighborhoods - That is the opposite of the Los Angeles riots. The rioters primarily destroyed their own neighborhoods. And yes, the fact that we are armed with security police in the better neighborhoods probably made a difference.

Good question ... unknown what the pretext is currently. Opinions are being offered, nothing concrete, as best as can be ascertained.

It is terrible that the UK is not better armed. I ache for those caught up in the riots without arms. The police are at a disadvantage, without arms, in the UK.

They keep on reiterating that 1700 police have been called in. I don’t know if even 10,000 policeman would help.

BBC Tweet. Scotland Yard considering deploying its armored vehicles.

Heck, we had to bring out the Camp Pendleton Marines to simmer Los Angeles down.

Looks like Scotland Yard’s armored vehicle had best be armed. This is the third night, if a fourth night commences with additional looting and rioting it could go across the entire UK?

They have already used one successfully. BBC Tweet.

... they were used to push back more than 150 people in the Lavender Hill area of Clapham where shops and business were attacked.

I wasn’t there, though spoke with an Office who witnessed the Miami riots and looting, and was deployed in several areas where snipers were deployed. He did not say whether or not the snipers fired. The snipers were under the direction of Military which was deployed in Miami during those particular riots.

Almost time to go Medieval on their stinky rear ends. Hopefully you got some of those old relics around. No one will miss this current generation :>

That is worse then the peak bottom last night. Also some main exchanges halted trading briefly.

The Korea Exchange temporarily halted program trading for the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index early Tuesday..

I’ll pop popcorn and stay where I am, unless called. Growing too old for the excitement.

Thanks for your concern mate, but i’ve no reason to go into the city centre until Thursday and i’m fairly sure this will have all blown over by then.
