London Looting and Riot Coverage BBC News August 8, 2011
I have linked up an article from Newsmax.com about the London riots which began on August 6, 2011 in
Tottenham, North London. As of present, widespread rioting included public disturbances, looting, arson attacks, burglarly and robbery which are presently ongoing. The events followed the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, a 29-year old man, by officers of the Metropolitan Police Service. A march by about 200 people into Tottenham became violent and descended into rioting. In the following days disturbances have occurred in other areas of the city such as Wood Green, Enfield Town, Ponders End, and Brixton. Vandalism, arson, looting, and violent disorder were also reported in several boroughs of London, extending as far South as Croydon. There were at least 111 police officers injured. On August 8, 2011, rioting and looting occurred in Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, and Medway. More than 525 people have been arrested since the start of the disruption, and the Metropolitan police have announced their willingness to use baton rounds against rioters should there be another night of violence on August 9, 2011. ( Information for this paragraph came from Wikipedia.)
