London bridge is burning down






Riots broke out in north London on Saturday night as a peaceful march to denounce the police shooting of a young man erupted into vandalism and looting.
Two police patrol cars, a van, a building and a double-decker bus were torched in the neighbourhood of Tottenham, as rioters clashed with officers in front of the local precinct and stores were looted and set ablaze.
The melee followed a peaceful march to the station to protest against the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, 29, a father of four who was riding in a taxi on Thursday when he apparently became involved in a gunfight with police.

I know the new is saying that it is because it is in a area of racial tension,
because there is a population that lives there that has a history of violence and anti police nature.
But i believe its more then that.
what about the economy?
People cant find jobs.
There pissed at the govenment for not doing anything.
If you cant fight the government and you are the poor who do you back lash at?
the middle class.
because there is no one else to take your anger out on.
Its never about a guy getting shot.
that was just the broken lock on the door that opened and gave way to people expressing how they really feel.
I don't agree with there actions.
But i do believe that there is more then anti police and race issues contributing to these riots.
