NO NO NO NO NO!!

The cold sound of sirens filled the streets of London. Nothing drove them away. The blaze of the fire clashed dreadfully with the cold blue lights. Is was all unstoppable. Peace was no where.

The past 3 nights have been nights of horror for many. Innocent people have lost their homes, their jobs and all happiness they once had. A family lost their loved one. But everyone lost peace. Respect went out the demolished window. The cruelty within the minds of people is astonishing. Why would anyone do this?

All this horror has escalated from the supposed unjust death of a man in London. The police apparently addressed the media first and ignored the needs of the mans family. This lead to peaceful protests on friday which were soon invaded by rowdy people wanted to make a show of themselves. This lead to the weekend being hoarded into a pool of violence. Fires blazed within empty looted shops and glass crunched beneath the heavy boots of police officers who attempted to keep the streets free from violence.

There have been many attempts to restore normality within the streets of London however, matters seem only to be getting worse. The rioters are beginning to spread all over the UK to cities such as Manchester and Birmingham. These cities are now experiencing the sound of shattering shop windows and hoards of youths reeking havoc in the once calm city centres. It has been reported that 'Primark' and 'Nandos' in Birmingham have been attacked and broken in to.

I personally do not see the need for such violence. It seems people have forgot the reason for the protests in the first place. These reasons were justified and intended to air feelings of injustice but by people creating such violent scenes, they are, in some ways, showing that they are in favor of such injustices as they are putting innocent people's lives at risk. Not thinking before they act, trying to climb up their social ladder by indulging in acts which they think will make them look 'hard'.

I do not sympathise in any way with those being arrested. They need to realise that what they are doing is wrong. Youths as young as the age of 7 are being involved in these riots. It baffles me to think why they are letting themselves get involved with this. But what worried me more is that there parents either don't know where their children are or they can't control what their children are doing.

This is both worrying and disgraceful. I hope the cold siren calls stops and this is all sorted when the other half of the government get back from holiday and hold another meeting....
