London Riots (WARNING: RANT!)

We can learn a lot about a riot. Vancouver three times experienced a riot, including in June after the Canucks lost game 7. LA in 1965, 1992 and after the Lakers win a world championship. Toledo 2005. Just to name a few.  Now it's London this time.

It all started when there was reported to be a confrontation between an armed male (biracial) and police officer. One outlet reported that the man didn't shoot at cops. The man was shot and killed by cops. And some people in the neighborhood decided to tear down buildings, homes and cars for nothing. I don't get it. This city is hosting the Summer Olympics next year at this time. They don't need nothing that would hurt their image such as this. Burning cars. Looting. Burning businesses to their ashes. As a result, Scotland Yard will probably order more and more police officers on the street because they're running short. So short, even the friendly between England and the Dutch at Wembley (the primary football venue for the Summer Olympics next year) was scrapped.

People shouldn't do any shit like this whatsoever. It just hurts a city's image. Again look at LA and Vancouver and you'll see why. It makes me sick when people do this. It's all about class and morality. They need to be taught a few or just get the fuck out of here. Plain and simple.
