My nan lives in London and is nearly 80, she spent last night in a neighbours house hiding, in her pajamas and slippers. Today she is mortified.
The kids that looted stole from and set fire to the town worked their way up to the nearest houses. They broke down front doors, smashed windows, kicked in cars and sat on them heckling the residents.
The police numbers were all engaged. Permanently.
She is now having flashbacks to WW2 when she spent days and nights in tube stations to avioid the bombing. (She has been claustrophobic since then, no lift no tubes etc).
Why should someone be reduced to this level because a few people want free TV's or because they are bored?! Don't try to tell me its deeper than that, it isn't.
Bored, frustrated, marginalised, who hasn't been at some point...do something about it! Destroying your neighbours house/business is just going to make you more so.
There was a large white van collecting the stuff that had been looted stolen. Being someone elses bitch for fun is just fucking stupid.
