The scumbags saw this and apparently used Facebook and Twitter to organize a flash mob there and thus, the riots started..........
During the course of our travels around Scotland there were a LOT of Brits, Scots and Londoners on holiday who spoke to us envying the way that Americans are allowed to defend themselves.
The riots appear to be a turning point in the opinions of UK citizens. They have had ENOUGH of bending over and 'taking' it while the MPs "mollycoddle" people who don't DO anything like, oh, say, umm, "work". The crap about "getting my taxes back"? Those thugs don't PAY taxes (except for VAT - and that doesn't begin to cover all the benefits they get in public housing and other welfare payments). I noticed one thing we could emulate here. With less than a week passing since the riots started, they had already arrested, arraigned, tried, convicted and SENTENCED some of the offenders! UK PM Cameron said the courts were going to stay open 24/7 to deal with all this.

I appreciate your first-hand account and observations.
However, do you really think that the "coalition" of Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and all the race baiters would validate and embrace anything remotely "conservative" mentioned about the British above, like supporting citizens bearing arms to defend themselves, and swift justice in courts kept running 24/7?????
NO WAY!!!!
The fact that U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder did absolutely nothing about the billie club thumping, white-hate yelling black panther intimidating voters at the polling place in Phila. in Nov. 2008
tells us all we need to know about what kind of "justice" this administration and democrats want.
The "justice" they want is spelled R-E-P-A-R-A-T-I-O-N-S taken out of us whities. Period.
