London Riots
I don’t stand for the riots in London because of the damage they are causing without a reason. A small group of people started the riots, but it grew when people joined in. Some people believe the public was angry because a policeman shot a local man named Mark Duggan. During the first night of the riots more than 170 people were arrested, most over violent crimes. The amount of effort that has been put into holding the angry crowds down has also caused other crimes to be committed without being noticed. There have been numerous injuries and deaths caused by the riots. Without justified cause, the public shouldn’t be demolishing their city.
The riots are ruining local businesses and homes over an unknown reason. The violent crowds are not only scaring the police, but also the people living near the scenes. People being interviewed mentioned that they don’t feel comfortable leaving their own homes or going to work. The riots were not only physically causing damage across London, but they were also causing businesses to close, and many people to lose their jobs. The amount of damage done to the town will also cause the people to pay more than they would on average, to repair their homes and businesses. It is not right for the people to have to pay so much money to repair the damage done by the public, especially because the people causing the damage had no reason to create such a large and violent uprising. The riots not only caused long term damage to the buildings, but have also torn apart the London communities. The destruction and devastation should have never been done without legitimate reason.
