Topic: So, there's just been riots 1/4 of a mile from my house [Pictures]
Tekamine !AnRbswGQv. started this discussion 15 years ago #10,432
I got a text off a mate of mine about an hour ago asking if I was ok, I was like 'wtf'.Then I heard the police helicopter and sirens.
(These first few pictures were not taken by me. Someone on Twitter was posting them. My road though)

Yeah, some taxi driver told me there was more cars being set alight as they venture into the city. As I was walking home, a fire truck sped passed me with it's lights on.

No, this was a road block.
Just heard on the news that 300+ people are involved and they've warned people not to go outside.

This might be cool if they had a cause, but just random violence and vandalism is just stoopid.

It's never cool to burn down people's homes and livelihoods. It's just criminal opportunism now.

To be honest, it's scared the shit out of me. I have to walk home from work later and it's through a pretty rife area close to where the riots started last night.
Cheers though Becky.

"We ain't got no jobs..." That sounds like it could be in Atlanta, Tampa, New Orelans or any other city in the USA. There are no riots in Detroit right now. Detroit, for now it's safer than London. That should be the temporary new slogan for the city.

Apparently it's started here again, just small incidents.
It's really bad in Manc and B'ham though.
