As far as I'm concerned the events taking place in London are pretty severe. It's scary as hell being here to be honest, we aren't allowed to leave and you can hear bangs, crashes, shouts and sirens constantly. There's a fire that's been raging in Clapham for about two hours now, I can see it's glow from my window and it looks huge.
As for the reasons acting as a catalyst for all of this, I don't know. It's mainly disconnected groups of youths just randomly targeting anywhere and everywhere, I agree that there has to be some sort of underlying resentment driving this behaviour but the manner in which they're going about their business is just mindless and totally reckless. I just can't get my brain around it all, I've seen stuff like this on TV before but never experienced it myself. It's shocking. I'm probably not typing anything of sense at the moment - I'm just... fuck.
