Hundreds of people turned the deprived London area of Tottenham into a war zone Saturday, rioting and setting fires after police shot and killed a man.
At least two police cars, a bus and a store were torched, and eight people, including police officers were injured. The riots ostensibly followed the police shooting of Mark Duggan. An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the shooting after police stopped Duggan’s vehicle.
Mounted police in riot gear moved into the area to quell the riots. Tottenham is described by British media as one of the most economically deprived areas in Britain, one which has a history of violent riots.
While the protest movement in Israel for “social justice" remains peaceful, and sometimes more like a festival, the riots in Britain may be a hint of what may be in store as another worldwide recession looms. Read the rest on: Arutz7

I've never seen such madness. I can only hope that there weren't people in those burning buildings. It took the police over 3 hours to get down there. And even then they just stood there and watched. It took the news channels hours to catch on, even though it was all over twitter from about 9pm. Metropolitan police are useless. News channels are not clued up....
