There's a riot going on in London right now and I'm sitting here in my dorm watching ignorant people discuss the issue on Omegle.
Here are the facts as they stand now:
- A drug dealer was shot by police officers
- After that, people led a peaceful protest
- The protest turned violent
- Police have been injured, some hospitalized
- Rioting and looting has been going on for three nights
- A mass clean up is underway. For more information on clean up efforts, visit http://www.riotcleanup.co.uk/
- Riots have taken place in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham.
- Parliment to be recalled on Thursday to discuss the riots.
- The Met police plan to deploy 13,000 officers in London over the next 24 hours.
- A 26-year-old man was shot in a car in Croydon last night.
I will add my opinion about these riots later today when I have more time to sit down and write.
