2255: Gareth Furby, BBC News, London

Gangs of masked youths are roaming the streets with petrol bombs in Clapham Junction.

Apparantly, not much damage done in EC or central london in general.(SO FAR AT LEAST).

It's mostly fucking south east london where I live o_o

more or less and it's getting closer, i've already locked my doors and windows just incase.

All the best, are you watching the news?

Dam my brother said even bexleyheath now.

yeah i have the news on and watching videos on youtube.

You are close to lewisham, right? That's scary. All the towns around me have been looted. :\

one of my closest friends used to go to that college, so if that goes too that will be another memory loss for me personally.

2347:

Adrian Mills, who owns a restaurant in Ealing, says his staff - with whom he is in regular telephone contact - report that there are about 100 looters in the area and a shopping centre is on fire.

The till in the restaurant was emptied by looters and all the alcohol was taken.

"The police don't seem to have the numbers to cope with the way this is spreading. It is complete and utter lawlessness," he says.
2335:

Police at the scene of the Croydon disturbances are investigating a "non-fatal" shooting, according to a source.

No more details are immediately available.

Also, stuff going on in Birmingham.

London is at war. Ealing shopping centre on fire (really close to me), Camden getting raided, old Kent road getting looted, hundreds marching on clapham, and that's after all the action at lewisham, croydon, Brixton Peckham and the other places already mentioned.

At in my locality... Two kids shouting about and throwing bottles randomly. I just hope those behind Ealing don't march here.

Not to dissapoint you, but those people would enjoy trashing places such as colleges.
I hope they dont end up setting up schools and colleges on fire -.-

anyway, good luck

Lewisham College got burgled twice in the last year, all our macs, and coursework stolen, the old campus is a beautiful place to study at, really charming with Art Deco features remaining from its previous incarnation, it would be indescribably sad if it got targeted. There's also a Celia Hammond charity opposite, for which I created a video and poster advert for so hope that is also spared...

i hope not, but it's to be expected, just recently i saw a youtube video of a jewelry shop in lewisham very close to where i get my hair done completely raided, i certainly can't go there anymore

If police can hold them up till tomorrow morning, I am sure things will be safer.

I am in my living room with the bat, just in case o.o

Its pretty quiet here in barking, but I can still hear sirens from far distance.

There are many areas with only minimal police presence... like, 20 or so police for an entire area. They're stretched far too thinly to handle this kind of unpredictable outbreak.

Police from other areas could provide backup support, but at this stage you never know what unexpected event would occur in their own area o.o

This is what happens when you outlaw guns.

lolz i don't blame you, when it comes to protecting your family and everything you own it's survival of the fittest, i was thinking of getting one of my brooms from the cupboard to use as a weapon, it's better than nothing XD

+100 there is no way to protect yourself in situations like this.

That's the thing, it can occur anywhere. Cutting down on police forces wasn't a good idea.
